It spreads easily and is absorbed. It's not super moisturizing, but the lotions in this series have a fairly moisturizing effect, like a mixture of emulsion and lotion, so it might be a good match. I don't think it will irritate my skin even when it's rough. My skin feels toned the next morning. I'm repurchasing the lotion, so I'd like to try using it together. I plan to repurchase.
