I really, truly wanted to love this product. I'd had it on my wishlist for months and read all the rave reviews about how it makes your skin perfect. I really loved the fragrance of it and the feel, but this moisturiser clogged every. single. pore in my skin and caused terrible breakouts on my chin. I have acne-prone skin but it's usually only one spot here or there every month, and nothing like this. My dermatologist was shocked. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this moisturiser.

This cream does have a hefty price tag but it will last you AGES. There's no way you'd finish this by the 'use by' date using it only during the day but I use it twice a day anyway. It's been 3 months and it seems that there's still half a bottle left. I have combination skin prone to breakouts and sensitivity and this is indeed quite 'balancing'. I have read comments complaining that this is too matte, it's definitely not matte; at first it feels like this but give it a few minutes and skin feels so nourished and soft but not too soft that it feels like nothing's there. It is a bit of a faff to have to dilute this cream with rose water but that's also a good thing because it makes this cream suitable for all skin types. When I first applied this ever I thought it irritated my skin, my skin was in poor condition but with continued use and a good cleanser I feel like my skin is healthier and can handle other products better. Of course if I eat badly I'll break out, but this soothes it while I go in with more purifying cleansers. A very unique product indeed.

At first this moisturiser seemed a bit strange to me: the texture is very thick and you can feel the oils in it. But then I figured out that, if put over damp skin (you can spritz it before with their mist) or mixed with some toner, it applies beautifully and sinks in quickly leaving almost a matte finish! It's so calming and nourishing and does not clog my pores (I have sensitive, prone to breakouts skin). Love it!

This is a very gentle moisturizer esp. for sensitive skin. However, it is quite expensive for the amount of volume in the bottle.

I'm going against the flow here. After all the good reviews I was hopping to like this but I found it to be too matte for me. If you are oily this might be heaven, probably why so many good reviews.
