My skin concerns are quite a mouthful. I have dehydrated, super sensitive, dry-combo skin type that loves breaking out, drying out, clogging up, and flaking out. I have rosacea, hormonal acne, several ingredient sensitivities, and occasional facial eczema. To put it shortly, an absolute MESS.
Gel moisturizer is too light and leaves me dry, creams are too heavy and suffocate my skin, leading to huge acne eruptions. This moisturizer has this beautiful, almost yogurt like consistency that hits that perfect middle ground I've been searching for! It sinks in nicely (a bit slow, but I use it before bed anyway) and has a great amount of moisture and hydration without leaving a greasy layer of of residue to break me out.
I'm on my second container of this stuff without a reaction to any of the ingredients, with fragrances usually being a BIG sensitizer for me so rest assured the scent on this one is not a bad one! Since the scent comes from the beneficial hydrating melon extracts instead of fake perfumes, that makes sense though.
My skin has become so bouncy and luminous since using this product, it has a nice mochi-like elasticity now that's the best it's felt in years! My breakouts are also a lot more tame, not gone entirely, but definitely more manageable.
The only complaint I could possibly think up the first time I reviewed this (on Sokoglam) was that I wish it wasn't in an open mouth jar for sanitary purposes; and despite what the listing image shows, my second batch actually came in brand new packaging, a much more sanitary squeeze tube like you see in face wash! So I can now say on my second review after scraping my first jar clean, that the formula and new packaging officially make this the BEST thing I have ever put on my face!!! Just buy it, seriously
