Updated October 3, 2026

Lightweight gel moisturizer that sinks in fast; not enough for very dry skin.

What the community says

A water-based gel cream with glycerin, dimethicone, and salicylic acid that disappears fast under sunscreen or makeup. It suits oily, combo, and rosacea-prone skin that hates heavy creams. Very dry or tretinoin-irritated skin may want more.
