For context, I have combination skin leaning oily
So I’ve been using the Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream for a little while now, and honestly, I’m pretty impressed with how well it works for my skin type. I have combination skin that tends to get oilier throughout the day, especially in my T-zone, but I also have moments where my skin feels dry or gets a little irritated, especially if I’ve used actives or my skin barrier feels a bit off.
What I really like about this cream is how balanced it feels. It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t make my face feel greasy or heavy, but it still gives a good amount of hydration. It has a gel-cream texture that spreads easily and sinks in nicely if I use the right amount. I did notice that if I go overboard and apply too much, it can feel a little sticky for a while, but once I figured out how much my skin actually needs, it layered beautifully under sunscreen and makeup.
It’s also super gentle, no fragrance, no stinging, and no redness. I tend to react to random ingredients, especially when my skin is already a bit angry, but this didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts at all, which is a huge win for me. I’ve also found that on days when my skin feels a bit tight or dry, adding a hydrating serum underneath this cream gives me that extra boost without overloading my skin.
Overall, I think this is a solid option for oily and combination skin types, especially if you want something calming and non-irritating. It might not be rich enough on its own if you’re super dry, but it plays well with other hydrating products. Definitely a nice “everyday” moisturizer to have on hand!
