What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the Saki Balm for its deceptively lightweight feel despite a creamy appearance, noting it melts seamlessly into skin without leaving residue. The consensus is that it's versatile across seasons and skin types, though oily-skinned users may find it heavier in summer heat. The squalane formula and bouncy, fluffy texture are standout features that inspire repeat use.

"Another moisturizer that I'm absolutely loving and I'm a bit surprised by is the Saki Balm by Educated Mess. This texture looks creamy, but watch the way it melts into the skin. Absolutely beautiful lightweight moisturizer. I started using it over the summer for just a lightweight moisturizer. It's one of those daily moisturizers that you can use year round depending on your skin's need. If you have normal to slightly dry skin, you can use this in the fall. I would say in the summer, those of you with oily skin probably are going to find this a bit heavy. And in the winter, those folks with oily skin are probably going to really enjoy this. It just sinks right into the skin. I just love this squalane-based formula because that is what my skin needs in the fall."
