This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

I fell for the promise of no white cast :( definitely noticeable on darker skin. So far oil is controlled, as usually 1-2 hours after my morning routine, I'm a little greaseball. But skin is currently very matte which explains the 2 stars instead of 0. This moisturizer might be best used for when makeup will be applied on top (it's giving milk of magnesia). I will try it again with makeup, but on Show more

This product is so underrated. It has a lot of the standard moisturizer ingredients along with a few standout stuff like caffeine, allantoin, and panthenol. It's economical and pretty hydrating although less hydrating than the lrp double repair. It's not the most lightweight, but I do appreciate the dispenser
Non irritating, gentle and moisturizing.
