Reviewers praise
  • Sits exceptionally well under makeup and sunscreen without pilling or adding shine
  • Fragrance-free, oil-free, and suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin
  • Mixes easily with facial oils or other serums to customize hydration
Reviewers push back
  • Insufficient moisture for dry or dehydrated skin when used alone
  • Takes time to absorb and can leave a white layer if over-massaged
  • Requires additional oils or serums at night for adequate hydration on dry skin
I love this moisturizer now and the reason that I love it is because it's a great face moisturizer to mix with facial oils

I’ve been using this moisturizer for years and wow—my skin is thriving. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and gives me that soft, healthy glow without clogging my pores (aka no breakouts 🙏). I have pretty sensitive skin, and this is one of the few products that keeps me hydrated all day without irritation. It sits perfectly under makeup and actually helps my foundation go on smoother.

This moisturizer has become a staple in my skincare routine! This cream is lightweight yet super hydrating. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish, and my skin feels soft an plump throughout the day. I love how gentle it is, even on sensitive skin, and it layers perfectly under sunscreen or makeup. A simple but very effective moisturizer at an amazing price — definitely worth repurchas Iyna29 · sephora.com
