Lovely moisturiser!

I usually use Q+A snow algae moisturiser but decided to try this for summer. it's been so good in this hot weather and works wonderfully as a make up base with getting greasy and oily like some. Texture is lovely and light, skin feels hydrated which is a biggie for me as my skin sucks up moisturiser like a sponge, recommend!

Not for me

I tried this product and the first few days I really liked it. My skin felt really soft and the moisturiser had a nice smell to it. But after a few days I started to break out into spots. They were quite painful and more were coming up. I stopped using the moisturiser and the spots started to go down, just not suited to me.

Love it!

Have been using this for a few weeks now and loving it! It's a great texture if you have oily/combination skin as it doesn't leave you feeling greasy. Can definitely notice how it minimises your pores and has overall really improved the texture of my skin. Only thing I would say is that I'm not a fan of the smell (smells like green tea) but can't smell it once it's applied!

Good features

I have been using this at night and it's very soothing on my skin. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was that it wasn't a cream, it was a little "wet" when applying, but overall it's a good product.
