6-Month Update: My love affair with TORRIDEN’s moisturizer is still going strong! Sadly, I lost her on a trip to Vegas uggghhhh, but I’ll be ordering another one soon. Some things are just too good to be without!
This moisturizer is dry-skin approved! It’s not the thickest one in my stash, but it’s definitely worth a shout-out. As a Solid-In Torriden superfan, I can confirm it pairs like a Show more
Updated review. Great for very dry skin. I can use it without an oil and wake up fine(very dry skin +retinal= caos in the morning) . I still use the oil and wake up hydrated and happy, but for lazy days I can, maybe because it's not winter anymore, it's awesome.

This moisturiser has a gel like texture and it is quite hydrating even though I have dry skin but this sits well on my face. I like how it isn’t too moisturising which is perfect for me as I prefer using a lighter cream before applying sunscreen for my AM routine so it doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin. However, it is not hydrating enough for those with super dry skin. I have used this moisturiser Show more
pretty good! very simple and safe moisturizer but may not be enough for dryer skin types.
