"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. It is also fragrance-free so certainly can be used by everyone, even those with more sensitive skin and rosacea-prone skin."

"This blew me away, I was so impressed with this formula. 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. It's deceivingly lightweight and I found myself loving it on my oily areas and across my entire face. It's a great one especially if you have more sensitive skin, it's a fragrance free formula with ingredients great for reducing redness and sensitivity. I've only been using it for like three or four months, but it's so good I had to include it."

"This is a hydro gel cream and it does have squalane which I do love very much. 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. I find that most K-beauty formulas don't weigh down the skin and even when layering multiple formulas together these don't ball up on each other or start to pill on the skin."
