Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This moisturizer divides reviewers on texture. One dermatologist found it initially heavy and perceptible on skin but grew to appreciate it for morning use under sunscreen, while another reviewer found it disappointing overall. The tactile feel (noticeable rather than absorbed) is the defining trait, so anyone sensitive to how products feel on their face may want to test it first.
