Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

What it actually does well

  • Excellent hydration
  • Lightweight, non-greasy feel
  • Boosts skin's natural glow
  • Improves skin texture over time

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • Contains fragrance, which may irritate some users
  • May not be rich enough for extremely dry or mature skin
