But eventually I started getting little bumps along my cheek bones, and I’ve tried to reintroduce it a couple of time since and always get the same result.
It does have a very Show more
Absolutely LOVE this moisturizer. It's perfect for combo/oily skin and for hot and humid weather. It's lightweight and sinks into the skin well without feeling sticky. It just feels like a refreshing burst of hydration. Great for soothing and calming down the skin because of the centella.

I found that even though the mask was easy to apply with the stick, it was still somewhat difficult to rise off (took about 4-5 rinses to remove it completely). So you'd probably have a better time with it in the shower. It also gets messy while you’re applying as the clay starts Show more
Ooop this worked so well for me. The ease of application was amazing and it didn’t dry me out which I did expect (I have dry sensitive and rosacea prone skin). I wanted to remove some sebaceous filaments from my nose. I took a before (top and after double cleanse) and after picture and it totally worked. I didn’t steam my pores to open them I simply just double cleansed my face and went in with Show more
