What the community says

Pros

  • Beta-glucan + humectant powerhouse that traps more moisture than hyaluronic acid, making it a hydration staple especially for tretinoin users
  • Very lightweight gel texture that sinks in fast and layers well under moisturizers and makeup
  • Simple ingredient list with no niacinamide or fragrance, favored by sensitive skin users avoiding irritants

Cons

  • Recent reformulation weakened its hydration efficacy causing disappointment among longtime fans
  • Reported to clog pores or cause redness/itching in some acne-prone and sensitive skin types, possibly due to preservatives like 1,2-hexanediol
  • Can exacerbate dehydration when layered incorrectly or used on dry skin without enough occlusion
