A Bit Comedogenic
I really wanted to like this cream, but it unfortunately clogged my pores a bit. I wanted to try it because lotus has calming and anti-inflammatory properties, and this cream was said to be light and suited for oily skin. It definitely has a nice texture and is effective at moisturizing, but I didn't notice any special calming or anti-inflammatory properties. Unfortunately, withing a few days and nights of using it, I started to have skin texture issues as well as whiteheads. I've stopped using it and my skin has returned to normal. The culprit ingredient is the prunus amygdalus dulcis oil.

Beautiful finish, lightweight but still moisturizing and hydrating enough for dry skin. I feel like it has helped brighten my complexion. i love that it has a little tack since 1. its doesn’t feel like its sliding off my face in the humidity and stays all day and 2. it works great as a primer for makeup to stick to and last all day
