    Rash/Allergic reaction

    I used the other hydrogel moisturizer without sunscreen but opted to try this one since it had sunscreen. After two days of using the product I have a horrible rash all over my face. Tiny little itchy bumps and little white pimple like spots. I will be returning this product and going back to the one without sunscreen!!

    Works well for skin newbie

    I am a 35 year old male and only became aware of skincare recently - this product works well, lasts a long time and performs well. My skin is noticeably smoother and fuller and it doesn’t leave me with a greasy feel.

    A recommend product

    I’m really impressed with this product! The application is smooth and effortless, and the way it makes my skin feel is amazing. It melts in quickly, with zero residue, thanks to its excellent absorption. After using it consistently, my skin looks healthier and feels noticeably softer. Definitely a product I’d recommend!
