I have oily skin, and for some reason, it's gotten so many positive reviews that I thought there must be a lot out there, so I bought this to try. The ingredients aren't exactly acne-fighting, and I noticed a lot of glycerin. It felt like a moisturizing cream, and easy to use. However, while it's moisturizing (at best), it's sticky (at worst), and I found it to be the latter. I have particularly noticeable pores, and after using this product, they became even more noticeable. By the time sebum production kicks in, the stickiness and pores subside. I didn't notice any effect, and the ingredients list seems to favor moisturizing over acne. If you think of it as a moisturizing cream, it's fine. To summarize briefly, it's inexpensive and comes in a generous amount, so perhaps it's a good value if used properly? It didn't cause any skin irritation, so I'm using it as a nighttime moisturizing cream.
Since I started using this, my skin condition has clearly improved. The bumps that form around my forehead and cheeks when I'm sensitive are almost gone. It feels moisturizing without being unpleasantly sticky, and the feel is perfect. I was debating between this and La Roche-Posay's B5 cream, so I decided to start with this cheaper one. It's hot every day, and I don't want to apply cream to areas that are overly oily, but I'm at an age where not moisturizing can cause wrinkles, so I was wondering what to do, when I found this great cream.
I bought this at Q10. It's a white gel cream that spreads easily. I'm always worried about the stickiness of gel creams because they're clear, but it wasn't sticky at all and had just the right amount of moisturizing power, making it perfect for summer! During this season, I was worried about my oily skin getting acne easily if I don't moisturize it enough, but this was great!
It spreads smoothly! It's not heavy and not sticky, so it's great.
Using this product has helped prevent acne. The texture is somewhere between a gel and a cream, and I only needed about two pearl-sized amounts to cover my entire face. It's very moisturizing. When I don't have time, this is all I need. I use it instead of milky lotion.
