"The Face Theory Super Gel Moisturizer is honestly the best of the best and I love this product so much. I've used this on rotation consistently in summer for the past three years and I love it. Recently ran out and I realized just how much my skin missed it. It's oil-free, which is great for keeping it super lightweight and allowing the skin to almost breathe through it. Often when we're using thick and occlusive moisturizers in summer it's preventing the skin from breathing, which is why it feels super sweaty, heavy, and just very uncomfortable. This is oil-free, which is amazing. It's also got a touch of salicylic acid which is going to help prevent congestion in the pores and minimize the risk of any breakouts. It's got a dash of vitamin C in here and it's packed full of aloe, which is calming, soothing, and hydrating. This really does pack a punch. It's one of those moisturizers that is ridiculously lightweight, almost disappears on the skin, but it leaves behind a beautiful veil of hydration. The one that stayed with me time and time again is this super gel."
