It’s official, after weeks of testing this out on my insanely sensitive and acne prone skin this has become my holy grail. Not a single moisturizer has worked for me except for this one, not even the Avene sensitive fluide. The ingredients are few, simple, and noncomedogenic. As someone who can’t tolerate occlusives of any kind, this is my saving grace. After a few uses this alleviates dryness.
Thank you for your reviews. My skin sensitivity is insane so hoping this works

Average face gel
Didn't see any improvement on skin, although it felt ok and didn't make it worse. On certain days it felt sticky.

i bought this for the first time back in 2020 as a recommendation from hyram on youtube, and haven’t used any other moisturiser in the day since. i have very oily + blemished skin but also dehydrated and sensitive and this is perfect for me. it never makes me more oily and helps with oil production through the day, but also doesn’t dry me out at all. so many moisturisers break me out sadly but this is one that never has. i’d describe it as being a sort of mix between a gel and cream texture and it goes on my skin super easily and it always feels hydrating :) id recommend for any oily skin types, but would suggest using something thicker/heavier at night!

Pretty solid lightweight moisturizer for those with oily and acne prone skin. This broke me out, but not nearly as badly as other products. It might've been because my skin doesn't take to most things during the day or the tocopherol, I'm not sure. I don't dislike it though, my skin is just really picky. My mom has sensitive skin too and she loves this, so YMMV
