I wasn't too impressed with its sunscreen formulation during my first foray into the brand, which was a little drying for my skin hence there was no expectation for this range, when I first used it.
As part of a sample kit, I have 4 sachets of this moisturiser which I use faithfully every morning.
I was pleasantly surprised by its seemingly rich texture, but surprisingly light lotion feel that gets absorbed into the skin comfortably. It is touted to hydrate the skin while treating it to a combination of antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients which supposingly helps to stimulate collagen production and renew skin cells.
There is no scent and the moisturiser just glides on the skin easily and effortlessly. On optimal skin, it works beautifully, hydrating it and giving it a soft and natural glow. On flaky skin, it is just not hydrating enough to combat those flakiness.
The ingredients are great for the skin and the product seemed gentle enough, however there is a tacky feeling on the skin if you applied it with a heavy hand after the toner and it does takes a long time for it to sink into the skin.
It takes some trial and error to get that "just right" combination that suits my skin. Less is more, in this case.
It scored 3.8 from 13 users on Makeupalley.
