"It's a really nice one because if you have oily skin prone to dehydration, combination skin prone to dehydration but looking for something that's also lightweight and soothing, that's fast absorbing, that's great to use maybe in the summertime, this is one to try. It contains 80% mugwort extract along with vegan squalene and a really nice elegant formula that absorbs quickly. It's a gel cream so better suited for more combination, oily skin."

"We've got artemesia extract, which is mugwort, and a lot of people have great experiences with it and certain people don't have any, either way they could care less, but there's a lot of people that absolutely love it. We've got rice bran extract, we've got allantoin, we've got Moringa seed oil, and then we've got ceramides. It's worth checking out."

"I need to make sure it actually works on oily skin, and [...] scratch all my doubts, this moisturizer is amazing. It's super lightweight, a very watery gel cream compared to a lot of other gel creams that have [...] a richer consistency, and I personally find it really good for oily skin. It includes eighty percent artemisia extract, which is really good for soothing sensitivity and irritation, and it also has squalene, an amazing ingredient for deeply moisturizing the skin."

"One of our editors is also obsessed with it and her skin just drinks it up. This to me is kind of like a K-beauty version of the Neutrogena water hydrogel cream. It is a bit more of a cream but when you actually rub it in the texture is very similar. I would say this is slightly more hydrating but it kind of blends down into this water and it seals everything onto the skin. It's lightweight which is what I love from K-beauty."
