The reformulated version earns consistent praise for how it blends smoothly with other products in a routine, a marked improvement over the original formula that would foam and clash with moisturizers and sunscreen. Most gurus highlight its texture-evening effect and affordability, though one notes it may not feel deeply hydrating on its own. One expert cautions that using a separate hyaluronic acid serum on top of products already containing it risks overdoing it; if you do use this one, apply it to damp skin and follow with a moisturizer to lock in the hydration.
