Nice cooling effect

While the AM version was more of a cream, this one is more of a gel. It too has a smell that is very strong, and it also took a couple of hours for it to dissipate. I liked to put this one as a targeted cream on the areas I experience irritation and breakouts, then layer with another cream on the rest of my face that's water-based.

Great moisturizer

I am really loving this moisturizer. I've been using it at night for about a week and my skin is clear and soft. It seems to have a slight cooling/tingling sensation when I first apply it which I actually love. It is scent free which is important to me. Dries down a little tacky but once it's completely dry it's fine.

Smells like chemicals

I like the texture and that this night time moisturizer isn’t too thick or greasy but I wasn’t a fan of the smell; it smelled like chemicals but luckily it dissipates after a few minutes.

Good but a bit grainy

Works like a charm and has numerous components that help restore the skin and definitely protects your skin from UV rays. Only concern I had is that it’s a bit too grainy for me, but aside from that I really loved the product.

Great for acne skin

Really recommend to acne prone skin to include as a daily routine. It is gentle and keeps the skin soothed. If you’re using any skincare that involves acids, this can help prevent your skins from further irritation.

Soothing and hydrating moisturizer!

This creamy moisturizer felt soothing and calming on the skin. Helped keep my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness. Amazing ingredient like ceramides, cica, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to help restore my skin barrier.

Did not suit my skin unfortunately

I thought I would enjoy this product but for some strange reason this also irritated my skin. Every time I applied it, I could feel a stinging sensation. It contains Niacinamide which is great for controlling sebum and it’s an ingredient I’m used to so idk what’s causing the sensitivity. The texture is a creamy gel and it absorbs into skin nicely.

Lightweight Nighttime Essential!

Firstly, the texture of this moisturizer is incredibly lightweight, making it ideal for prepping your skin before bedtime. If I had to nitpick, the fragrance might not be to everyone’s liking, especially given that it’s applied to the face, and unless you allow it enough time to fully absorb, it can feel slightly sticky, which may be bothersome when lying on your pillow.

However, despite these minor drawbacks that could potentially be addressed in future iterations, this moisturizer truly delivers results! After incorporating it into my routine for almost two weeks, I’ve observed reduced oiliness in the mornings, minimized pores, and a significant reduction in acne. The formula also effectively prevents pore blockages and promotes a more even skin tone.

Having struggled with patchiness, redness, excess oil, and acne breakouts, I can confidently say that this product has been a game-changer for me. It’s been nothing short of a miracle worker.
