i thought this would be more of a gel cream or watery consistency but it’s actually pretty heavy and thick. the texture of it just feels awful. it feels sticky even if a minimal amount is applied. tried to mist water on my face beforehand but it didn’t do anything. feels like it never soaks in. probably my least favorite moisturizer i’ve tried.

Very nice jelly moisturizer.
I greatly prefer gels to creams since I’m quite oily.
The price is incredible, minimum half the price of anything else.
Dry skin would likely find this not moisturizing enough but I feel like it’s an excellent product for oily people.
It does feel a bit sticky if you apply too much, apply to damp skin helps.
