Where this actually belongs

Apply this gel moisturizer as the final step in your morning and night routine, after any serums or treatments. It works well after cleansing and treatments aimed at managing oil or blemishes.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

What it actually does well

  • Lightweight gel texture
  • Effective oil absorption
  • Soothing and hydrating properties
  • Non-comedogenic and oil-free formulation
  • Suitable for acne-prone skin

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • May not be sufficient for very dry skin types
