Apply this moisturizer in the morning and evening after cleansing. It can also be used as a quick boost of hydration whenever your skin feels dry.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

  • Lightweight, oil-free gel-cream texture
  • Absorbs quickly
  • Suitable for multiple skin types

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • May not be rich enough for very dry or mature skin seeking intense nourishment
  • Contains fragrance, which could be a concern for some
