Guru Score

5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This cream pairs well with actives like tretinoin and retinoids, and gurus praise its lightweight texture and fragrance-free formula for sensitive or reactive skin. However, the takes split sharply on longevity and texture fit. Those with dry or reactive skin find it hydrating and soothing enough to layer under or sandwich with actives, and some note it helps with post-acne marks. Others with combination skin report it either dries out too quickly or turns oily fast, and find the finish does not last through the day. Best suited for people using tretinoin or managing irritation rather than those seeking a long-wear moisturizer.
