REVIEW
I have been using this @benzagelcanada After Care Moisturizing lotion for quite some time now and here is my honest opinion.
This is basically formulated to be that hydrating and soothing moisturizer that you will need when you use potent anti acne treatments which can lead to skin dehydration and dryness. With Squalane that mimics the skin's natural phospholipid layer, prevents water loss from your skin that leads to dehydration. This lotion has a unique blend of various forms of AHAs like Bilberry, Sugarcane and Orange and lemon extracts that exfoliates your skin and hence gives you a youthful appearance over time. It is free from parabens and it is non comedogenic so any one who suffers from clogged pores can safely try it out. The olive fruit extracts in it reduces the loss of collagen and elastin and help in moisture control. Aloe Vera Gel, Witch Hazel, Ginger, Rose and Cucumber are all excellent pore shrinkers and skin tighteners..
My experience : I don't use strong acne medication but I do suffer from clogged pores and I do use Retinol sleeping mask which has been making my extremely dry. But this lotion makes my skin smooth but not dry. Its watery texture feels so good and maybe I am seeing some improvement in my hyperpigmentation as well when it's effects are augmented by my other skincare products. My husband uses acne treatments on his neck and back and I mix this benzagel lotion with his regular lotion and it has been soothing and moisturizing on him too. I like that its not heavily scented and that everyone but those specially with acne can safely use it. It gels pretty well with my BHA lotion as well as my Retinol Sleeping mask and Buffet Serum.

This is probably the best sunscreen for pore clogging prone oily/sensitive skin. It's literally water light. It's runny and gets absorbed real fast. There is no grey cast to it and it applies really well under makeup as well. Does not make my face... +
