Really wanted to love this moisturizer but it was a flop for me. Right off the bat, the scent makes you think something is off about the product and lingers on your skin for a while. It also stung quite badly after each application and made me break out. Might not be suitable if your skin does not tolerate high concentrations of niacinamide. The only good thing about this is the texture, which looks and feels much like a gel that absorbs well into your skin.
