made me break out:(
Received this as a sample. I used it for about a week and starting breaking out. I love the way it made my skin feel but I dont recommend this product if you are prone to breaking out easy.
Acne/pimples!
Not for oily skin! It was a gift and I broke out, and unfortunately I break out in huge acne. I had 5 big pimples right away. I gave it to my mother in law. I'm still waiting for my pimples to clear up. It's been over a week or two. Unfortunately I cannot exchange the gift.
Recommended by Ulta employee
I am going to return this product. It doesnt absorb well enough nor does it hydrate my dry skin. It actually causes me to have more flakes than normal.
okay
This is the second time I received a sample of face cream from this brand and yet again I didn't learn my lesson. breaking out in white heads and red and painful.
Love this Moisturizer!
I love this moisturizer. Very nourishing and helps with dryness. That's what I've been looking for. The fragrance is nice, and not overpowering, I can't believe someone would complain about the fragrance! Great product! I received it as a free sample.
