What I liked:
- light texture
- not greasy
- very hydratying
- skin feels smooth
What I didn’t like:
- the fragrance
- no SPF
- stings when applied, skin feels tight and t-zone is shiny after a few hours
- the formula
This moisturizer it’s for normal/combination skin. I have combination skin (dry in the cheeks and around the eyes and oily in the T-zone) and I have to say that it stang a bit when I applied it. Also, after a few hours, my skin felt tight and my t-zone was shiny again.
This moisturizer is very hydrating and feels refreshing on the face. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft and smooth. Its texture is very light, like a gel, and works well underneath foundation or tinted moisturizer and is perfect for these hot summer months. Also, I didn’t notice any breakouts.
The smell is nice, however I prefer my skincare products not to have any smell at all, as fragrances can be irritating for the skin. Another thing I don’t like is the fact that this product doesn’t have a SPF.
I’m not to keen on the formula. It contains substances like Urea, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate which can be irritating. So can be the fragrance. It also contains Alcohol Denat which is drying.
Summary:
Overall, this moisturizer is average. It does hydrathe the skin, leaving it soft and refreshed. However, my skin felt tight, especially in my cheeks where the skin is dry, t-zone was shiny after a few hours, doesn’t have any SFP and the formula contains skin irritating and drying agents.

Hi, i have been using this product for about 1 and a half weeks now, and through out these days i’ve noticed that i grew some small pimples and small whiteheads around my cheeks and chin. Do you think i should continue using this product or should i throw it away.
Mike, I think you should stop using it for a few days and see what happens. If your skin gets better then it was this moisturizer that caused the problem and you should throw it away.
