What the gurus are saying

One expert praised how the formula hydrates acne-prone skin without feeling greasy, with a pleasant texture that sits between gel and cream. However, another expert flagged the inclusion of lemon essential oil as a significant concern for sensitive and breakout-prone skin, since citrus oils can irritate skin and become more irritating when exposed to sunlight. Those with highly reactive or acne-prone skin may want to patch test first, or consider a formula without essential oils if sensitivity is a main worry.

"I loved this moisturizer personally and I think the aesthetics of the whole line are great. It does have a slight scent to it. I think overall they really did a great job with the formula. I think it's hydrating and how it plays with your skin, especially if it's acne prone. This is a really nice from a tactile perspective, a nice moisturizer. It's somewhere between a gel and a cream. Maybe you can call it a gel cream, maybe a lotion. Absorbs really nice. Isn't greasy at all. The shea butter base is something that I personally like a lot."

"With really sensitive, acne, breakout prone skin, I really do not understand why, especially lemon essential oil. Citrus essential oils are some of the most irritating essential oils that you can use. And when citrus essential oils are exposed to UV rays and sunlight, they can oxidize more rapidly, which can lead to skin sensitivity and irritation. So, I just don't understand why it's being used. There's no reason for it. Unfortunately, I have to say for that reason I do not recommend this formula, and I definitely would not be using it on my own skin. This is a product range for people who have the most sensitive type of skin. So, I just don't think that anything is worth the risk."
