How we score →Yay
6 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
It feels like water going on and sinks in easily, and experts keep coming back to that lightness. Those with oily or acne-prone skin are especially fond of it, though the value earned a mixed verdict, since there is less product than before for roughly the same price. However, people with dry skin may want something heftier, since it can feel tacky for a few minutes before it disappears.
