I absolutely adore this moisturizer. I first discovered it in 2019 and instantly fell in love. I used it consistently for two years before getting curious and testing out other popular brands like Biossance, Tatcha, Youth to the People, Dieux, Dr. Dennis Gross, and Skinfix. After all that experimenting, I’ve come full circle—this is my holy grail. It deeply nourishes and repairs my skin barrier, k sephora.com

I recommend. It's lightweight. I now associate the light scent with a feeling of clean, fresh and hydrated skin. The way it feels going on is unique and interesting, at first it feels smooth like water but as it spreads over your face you can really feel the transference of moisture, and that hydration lasts me all day. Love it. OriginalLivster · sephora.com
