Unfortunately this product is not for my skin, the product itself feels lovely and leaves the skin feeling nice however I break out way more when using this as my moisturiser. I’m unlucky to have skin that breaks out easily so I have stopped using this product.

The texture is amazing for my skin type which is combo acne prone skin, It’s thick enough for my T zone but lightweight enough for my U zone, left my face without acne and was a moisturizer i would recommend
