"The beta glucan one [...] is fantastic if you're looking for a lightweight gel. It hydrates you to the gods with no weight to the skin. It won't break you out, clog the pores. It's calming and soothing. Great, I'd say for oily or combination skin types."

"It's probably not going to be hydrating enough for those with a dry skin type so you're going to want to use multiple layers of it, but again it layers well on top of itself without a problem, or you could just get a super hydrating sunscreen, use a little The Ordinary first, put your sunscreen on top and it just doubles down on that hydration. It's not my personal favorite, but so easy to get and that's why I'm always happy to recommend it."

"I love the texture of this; it is so lush and it feels great to apply. The nature of beta glucan is that it can be quite a sticky humectant, like honey, but you don't feel that at all. It just forms this really weightless flexible film on your skin, leaving the texture very, very smooth. The way in which I really love using this a lot is as a sleeping mask, just a thin layer over all my other skincare. It shouldn't work, but it just does."

"Cut to the chase this is not it I was really hoping this would be a good moisturizer to recommend to people who have oily skin and just want something super light yes it is super light but it leaves the skin feeling filmy and almost drier than it did to begin with"

"So it is super hydrating, goes on, slips over your skin beautifully, and I think is absolutely unique in texture. It's a jelly-like texture that is just so beautiful. This will suit summer skins so well. It's particularly suited to dehydrated, sensitive skin that don't necessarily want a heavy, oily occlusive moisturizer. It's just Heavenly. It will be the most perfect thing to take on holiday. It also sits under makeup, which is really rare for a gel."

"If you are somebody that truly loves that lightweight moisturizer, you're going to absolutely love the natural moisturizing factors plus beta glucan. [...] If you're someone with oily skin, combination, acne prone, you really love that lightweight feel that truly feels like you didn't even put anything on your skin, the beta glucan one is the way to go."
