On their combination skin the gel moisturizer seemed to pull moisture out, even with another moisturizer on top; they had to wash it off. Maybe fine for very oily skin, but awful for them.
“I have combo skin and I feel like that gel moisturizer sucks moisture out of my skin.”
Works as a stand-alone moisturizer on their oilier skin: nice gel texture, absorbs quickly, not sticky and never clogs pores, though the hydration is light.
“The gel texture is nice, absorbs quick and dont leave me sticky”
Now their favorite daytime moisturizer after Hydro Boost moved to a water cream formula.

“I have been using this for over a month now and it makes my skin super dry after applying”
