NIACINAMIDE & HYALURONIC WATER CREAM
-
I layer the Multi-Molecular HA Serum underneath this and my dehydrated oily skin has never looked better. The combo gives deep hydration without any greasiness. Perfect morning routine.
-
Using the Niacinamide Complexion Serum before this water cream has shrunk my pores more than anything else I've tried. The double niacinamide approach really works for my oily skin.
-
This water cream texture is incredible. It feels like nothing on my skin but keeps me hydrated all day. My makeup sits perfectly on top of it.
-
The hyaluronic acid gives deep hydration while the gel texture stays light. My dehydrated but oily skin is finally happy.
-
I use this over the Niacinamide serum and my pores are tighter than they've ever been. The niacinamide duo is powerful.
-
I discovered this from a friend this summer and it's been my holy grail!! I have combination skin and break out easily when trying new products. This cream calmed my skin and the redness in my T-zone has gotten so much better that on my days off I only use this and sunscreen on top and still get compliments. I also use this alone under my makeup and it has no pilling and makes my foundation sit so nicely. Please never discontinue this formula!
-
This is hands down the best moisturizer for combo skin. Lightweight gel texture sinks in instantly and my makeup glides on top. No primer needed anymore.
-
I pair this with the Vitamin C Brightening Serum in the morning and my skin has this lit-from-within glow. Great hydration for my normal-to-oily skin type.
-
Three jars in and I'm never switching. My T-zone stays matte all day while my dry cheeks are hydrated. The niacinamide has also cleared up most of my texture issues.
-
The perfect moisturizer for oily skin. Hydrates deeply but never feels heavy or greasy. My skin looks dewy, not shiny. It's the one I always come back to.
-
Okay moisturizer but not hydrating enough for my very dry skin. I need to layer a heavier cream on top in winter.
-
My combo skin finally has a moisturizer that works year-round. Light enough for summer, hydrating enough for winter with an extra layer.
-
Nice lightweight moisturizer. The niacinamide helps with my enlarged pores and the HA keeps dryness at bay. Would prefer a pump instead of a jar.
-
I use this in the summer when everything else feels too heavy. Cooling, hydrating, and it controls my oil through the afternoon. My skin looks clear and fresh.
-
Layered under SPF, this is the perfect morning moisturizer. No pilling, no white cast from my sunscreen, just smooth hydrated skin. On my fifth jar.
-
Effective combo of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. My skin's texture has improved and the redness along my cheeks has calmed. Light enough for combo skin.
-
I stopped needing primer since I started using this. My skin is so smooth and balanced that foundation just glides on. That alone is worth the price.
-
My derm recommended a niacinamide moisturizer and this one exceeded expectations. Pores smaller, skin brighter, no irritation. I tell everyone about it.
-
This has become my go-to morning cream. It keeps my T-zone matte while my cheeks stay comfortably hydrated. Love the lightweight gel texture.
-
The perfect moisturizer for oily-combination skin. Hydrates without any heaviness. My makeup sits flawlessly on top of this.
-
Nice lightweight moisturizer with good ingredients. The jar packaging isn't my favorite but the formula makes up for it.
-
After struggling with uneven texture and enlarged pores for years, this cream turned things around in about a month. My skin feels balanced and refined.
-
My oily skin finally has a moisturizer it loves. No midday shine, no clogged pores, just balanced healthy skin.
-
The jar lasts forever because a tiny amount covers my whole face and neck. Great value for how well it performs.
-
This water cream texture is addictive. Feels like nothing on my skin but keeps me hydrated through a twelve-hour shift.
-
I layer the HA serum under this in winter and it gives enough hydration even in dry heated air. Versatile formula.
-
Replaced my $95 water cream with this. Same cooling texture, same oil control, fraction of the price. Five jars in.
-
I stopped needing blotting papers at lunch. This controls oil all day without that dry tight feeling.
-
My foundation has never looked better. This gives the perfect smooth base without any greasiness or pilling.
