## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this moisturizer is widely praised for its unique "pudding" texture that provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for combination, oily, and normal skin types. While it effectively calms redness and creates a "glass skin" glow for most, those with extremely dry skin or sensitivities to essential oils may find it insufficiently moisturizing or slightly irritating.

- Liked: Lightweight hydration (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Unique texture (often mentioned)
- Liked: Soothing and calming (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Subtle scent (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Expensive for size (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Not for dry skin (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Good under makeup (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Caused breakouts (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Essential oil irritation (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Packaging issues (rarely noted)

## How to apply

- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
- Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
- Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
- Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cream alongside retinol by applying the retinol first and following with this moisturizer to help soothe your skin and keep it hydrated. Using a barrier-supporting moisturizer helps reduce the dryness and irritation that often come with retinol use.

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on acne-prone skin because it contains soothing ingredients and lightweight hydrators that manage oil while keeping skin soft. Its safe formulation avoids harsh elements, helping to prevent irritation and flare-ups.

### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body because its gentle formula provides excellent suitability for delicate areas.
