PROS & CONS
REVIEWS (11)
I LIVE for this component and the product smells amazing. The glass bottle is extremely posh, so don't drop it! I personally have a fairly oil T Zone and normal skin everywhere else on my face, but I find this product works best for me when I alternate with heavier gel based moisturizers, as it does have a very light consistency and doesn't always hydrate my skin enough to reduce oil production on days when the air is dry.
I've been searching for oil-free moisturizers and have struggled to find something that will be hydrating (not ridiculously expensive) but not make me look like a plate of French fries at the end of the day. I decided to give this brand a shot but I am very surprised at the results. Most moisturizers don't really seem to sink into the skin-- they just kind of sit on top.The first couple of days I used it, I did break out but I've concluded that it was not the moisturizers fault (or it was purging). After that bout, however, my skin seems to love this. I mix it with Lapis oil from Herbivore for extra hydration & my skin feels very much hydrated but doesn't make it shiny/oily. The smell is pretty light but I am not a fan of smelling like a watermelon even though the fragrance doesn't smell "cheap". It fades after a little while so I can live with it. Because I tested this out during quarantine, I don't know how it performs under makeup though I don't imagine there will be issues. I do recommend giving this a shot if you have acne-prone skin like mine.
