Usually, with skin care products, you get what you pay for and having used products that cost around $100+ per oz. for the past few years, my standards are very high. Plus I’ve been having some bad luck with finding a cheap but adequate replacement moisturizer. As such I didn’t exactly have high hopes for something priced so cheap.
Going by feel alone, this is an acceptable lightweight moisturizer. No, it’s not the lightest I’ve used but it absorbs well and keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. With some self-proclaimed lightweight moisturizers you can get the feeling that something is on your skin even hours after application (especially when you tense your cheeks). With this, that sensation is minimal to nonexistent depending on how much I use. More important than that though is the hyaluronic acid. I’m not going to get into a long winded explanation about what it is and what it does, but VERY basically, think of it as a sponge that holds onto moisture. And NO, it is NOT the type of acid that will burn you. I see that in reviews and roll my eyes.
I usually apply this over a serum twice per day, once in the morning and again at night before bed, each time after cleaning my face. As for the removal, it comes off quick and easy without your skin getting super slick the instant it gets wet. When using just micellar water and a cotton round to clean my face, only one side of the round is needed to remove it all.
Oil free and fragrance free, you shouldn’t have to worry about clogged pores or skin irritation. I see that there are a few reviews claiming that it made people have a breakout which is possible as it is not hypoallergenic but I have not experienced anything like that.
While I may continue to try others, this is a product that I would buy again.
