It moisturizes well enough to leave a sticky feeling, but since I have very dry skin, I felt dry in the morning, which wasn't enough. Unless you have extremely dry skin, it leaves your skin feeling plump and supple, so I don't think it's a problem. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly into the skin. I also like the scent.
I bought it and used it without knowing what its strengths were. I wouldn't say it had any particular positive effect on my skin, but it's nice and not sticky even in the summer and has a smooth texture. I think it fulfills the need for a firm lotion without feeling too heavy.
I tried Obagi Active Base Clear Milk! First of all, I absolutely love the scent! It's so relaxing to use! Since it's summer, I wanted something refreshing, and this is relatively non-sticky and keeps my skin moisturized! The texture spreads easily and is easy to use! It moisturizes deep into the stratum corneum, leaving skin plump and smooth! This time, I tried out the toner and emulsion from Obagi. I'm happy to use the entire line, but there are so many other types from Obagi that I'm curious about! I want to try them one by one... Now! Let's take care of our skin thoroughly this hot summer and aim for smooth, clear skin!
My skin felt great the morning after using it for the first time! I could tell it was firmer and properly moisturized. However, the scent is a bit unique, so some people may not like it. When using it, it's best to take two pumps in your hands, warm it up a bit, and then apply it to your face for better absorption.
It spreads well and is absorbed quickly! It also has a nice scent. Just swirl it around and it absorbs right into your face. It may not be that moisturizing, but it's great for everyday use! As expected from Obagi!
