Accidental scar treatment?
I think this faded 15+ year old scars…?!? It's the only new product I've used, and the only thing that I apply to my neck and upper chest. I've had these 2 small keloid scars forever, and tried a variety of both cheap and expensive topical scar treatments. None worked, although silicon tape seemed t...

Inefficace !!
Je déteste ce produit ! Je précise d'emblée que j'ai la peau grasse faiblement déshydratée. La texture est superbe, le gel est épais mais facile à étirer, il glisse sur la peau sans effort, il n'y a aucun parfum, le tube est hyginéique et protège le produit de l'exposition à la lumière... ...

looking for some help here because I don't understand why does it foam on my skin when I put it on? just started using this product and not sure if it suits my skin well. my skin feels dry and remains sticky after applying the product for 10 minutes or so.

I love how light this moisturizer is! It doesn't feel heavy on your skin. It's like a glass of water for your face. No smell so that is nice too. Good sized bottle too.
not for me
i have very oily skin so i thought i would love this moisturizer, but it is so so sooo sticky. and also once it is almost completely rubbed in, it kind of tugs on my skin. when i wake up, my skin felt dry, not hydrated. i think it felt dry because it is sticky. i hope they reformulate this one day
Best for combo/oily skin

Definitely feel this should be targeted towards oily or combo skin. I've been searching for a gel moisturizer that doesn't evaporate 30 seconds after applying yet feels moisturizing. Absolutely love this moisturizer, something in the formula also gives it some silkiness which I haven't seen in other moisturizers. Love love love, absolutely recommend

The sample made me buy the entire ordinary set for my hormonal acne and I haven't had a major break out in days! This has been an ongoing struggle for the last 2 years

Can you mix this with tretenoin?
- Asked by Valerie

We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
