Pros

  • Light gel texture that sinks in quickly without feeling sticky or heavy
  • Fragrance-free version available, which is preferred by sensitive skin users
  • Good layering base under sunscreen and makeup without pilling or clogging

Cons

  • Fragranced version frequently causes irritation and breakouts, especially on sensitive or acne-prone skin
  • Many find it not hydrating enough for dry skin or retinoid-induced dryness, often requiring additional occlusives
  • Some experience a bothersome film or sticky residue that doesn’t absorb fully, leading to discomfort
