SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Not only does it make my skin look like glass, it moistens my skin without having oil residue and breakouts, I literally moan while putting it on because it feels so silky and smooth. I really love it, it has a perfect consistency, leaves me moistened the whole day and is infused with five different hyaluronic acids and if you don’t know isntree is THE it brand for hyaluronic acids to the extent that their formula is so good they had to patent the formulas for their hyaluronic acid. I really advise it for oily skin and this is my holy grail. I used it from late Nov-Feb so I’d say it has a usage of 3 months which is very reasonable but If I had to say anything bad about it, it would be that i wish it had options of purchasing larger bottles of like 150ml

This is the best lightweight moisturizer for combo/oily skin! But it is more better for oily skin. For me, my cheeks are usually dry because I have combo skin, so it does less well for that patch, I just add another layer in that area. But it’s only a little problem, and is AWESOME FOR THE REST OF MY FACE. It’s good because it’s lightweight, non sticky AND MOISTURIZING. It did not clog any pores or gave me any more acne, it made it better! It’s always good to have a lightweight moisturizer for combo/oily skin because if it’s too thick, it would clog your pores. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Great moisturizer for oily acne-prone skin!
I'm extremely oily with acne-prone skin. I also exfoliate regularly and use tretinoin, so my skin tends to get dehydrated and dry often and this moisturizer has been amazing. I use this in the...
Great moisturizer for oily acne-prone skin!
I'm extremely oily with acne-prone skin. I also exfoliate regularly and use tretinoin, so my skin tends to get dehydrated and dry often and this moisturizer has been amazing. I use this in the morning because the cream one is too heavy for daytime use but great for my night routine. This moisturizer is immensely hydrating without being too heavy and doesn't cause any breakouts! I definitely recommend this, especially if you're using tretinoin/retinal!
