What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it found a moisturizer that punches well above its price point. Both praise the texture as smooth and refined, comparable to pricier creams, and note it hydrates effectively while oat helps calm inflammation and support skin barrier. One expert mentioned it applies a touch streaky, so applying in thin layers or blending well may help those concerned about even coverage.

"This particular moisturizer I have used it goes on a little streaky but it's otherwise great. It's $12. It has hyaluronic acid, a humectant, and also oat which has anti-inflammatory compounds. It's moisturizing."

"I have one this is I don't know my fourth fifth time talking about it this month elf Holy Hydration, obsessed with this product. It's interesting, the texture is dynamite. It matches very closely those very fine, more like middle higher-end facial moisturizers that you can find. Texturally I just think it delivers. It has hydrating ingredients, it has peptides, and for the price point it just nails it for me. It's been something I've been obsessed with for a little bit here. I'll probably get bored with it but right now I love it, it's so good."
