"Barrier Balancing Water Cream, which is 54 bucks, although it's currently on sale at Sephora. We've got squalane, niacinamide, acetyl hexapeptide, heptapeptide 4, and zinc PCA for oilier or acne prone skin. Really nice gel cream texture to it. Soaks in really nice. No scent to it. Really nice packaging. They knocked it out of the park with this product because I didn't really think they could include a new moisturizer in their lineup without changing the lineup too much and they included this and it seemingly fits in perfect with all their other stuff. So I love this brand. They're on the pricier side but wonderful."

"They call this a water cream. It definitely does have a creamy element to it, but it's definitely much looser, more gel-like, maybe even a bit runny. It bursts into hydration as you spread this on your skin. It feels incredibly hydrating, diving in a little bit deeper than lighter hydrators. It can help to soothe some symptoms of dehydration. It's very, very light, sinks in deep, and then right at the top of your skin you're going to feel a skin softening effect. Your skin's going to feel very smooth with just a kiss of really light moisture. That little bit of creaminess in the texture very gently hugs everything in without weighing your skin down. So you get hydrated, slightly plump, and very soft skin at the surface, but your skin is still very much able to breathe. It's not feeling suffocated or weighed down. It feels really great, especially if you have a humid climate. I don't find this to be sticky or tacky at the surface. It sinks in very fast so you can move in with your sunscreen right away. The ingredients like green tea, niacinamide, and zinc PCA have a soothing, calming, anti-inflammatory effect and can help to reduce redness on the skin. The really simple formula makes it a great choice."
