In the summer, I'm always worried about sunburn, dark spots, and freckles, so I searched for a vitamin-rich, affordable lotion that would provide that care, and I found this. I'm very happy with the results. It has a light texture, but it moisturizes my dry skin just enough. It doesn't interfere with my makeup, and the price is relatively reasonable, so I think I'll continue using it.
I have dry skin, so I bought this product with an emphasis on moisturizing and vitamin C. I've used up the whole bottle. It's fragrance-free. The texture is light and easy to apply. It needed a bit more absorption, so I had to reapply it several times, which I covered with an additional ceramide moisturizing serum. I've used up the whole bottle, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it.
The moment you apply it, it gives you a bouncy, moisturized feeling. It feels as moist as after using a face mask, making your morning and evening skincare routine a little more enjoyable. It absorbs quickly and doesn't sting, so you can use it with confidence. It has just the right amount of thickness, but isn't sticky, and leaves your skin feeling balanced. It doesn't get in the way even when used before applying makeup. However, it does have some drawbacks in terms of cost performance.
I have sensitive skin, but I wanted to whiten it, so I searched for a lotion containing ceramides and vitamins (especially APPS), and I found this one. As it's designed for sensitive skin, it doesn't sting. I'm only about halfway through, so I haven't noticed any whitening yet, but the ingredients are great, so I'll continue using it and hope for even more whitening in the future.
I use the full line, so I honestly don't know which one is best, but the ceramides in this lotion seem to penetrate my skin, which has already been absorbed well by the Sebum Lotion. Looking closely, it looks like it's viscous enough to form a string when you open it, but it's amazing how it's not sticky at all. I feel like the amount of sticky residue has decreased when I apply it over my wrinkles. It's moisturizing yet not sticky, which is great.
