Let me start with the good: it’s soothing, super gentle, and doesn’t irritate my skin even when it’s feeling extra sensitive.
And I really respect the clean formulation — no harsh alcohols or artificial fragrance.
BUT. The texture is much runnier than I expected, almost watery-milky, and if I don’t massage it in carefully, I’m left with this faint tacky feeling that doesn’t go away.
Maybe it’s my skin type (combo/oily), but I noticed my pores looked a little congested on days I used a thicker SPF or skipped toner underneath.
It’s not a bad product at all.
In fact, I’d still recommend it to dry or very sensitive skin types who want lightweight hydration. But for me, it’s just not the effortless daily go-to I thought it would be.
More of a “use when skin is mad at me” type of product.
I wouldn’t blame you for giving it a try tho.
