Great lightweight moisturizer that's fungal acne safe. Makes my skin feel plump and dewy. If my skin is super dry (usually in the winter), I need something a little stronger than this. Otherwise it's great.
not the best for oily skin. wanted to use it as a night cream for moisture and because its balanced, as well as mostly made from natural ingredients-- but i wake up greasy and oiler than ever. haven't used it long enough to see how it affects my fungal acne, but that type of grease usually doesn't make it better.
