To Sum it up!

I love how this moisturizer smells, its so light and refreshing. For a few days I was using this in the morning and after an hour I felt my face sweating the product off. Its not meant for humid or hot weather, so its best to use just a smallest amount. It didn't break out my skin at all. My skin didn't feel oily after using it. This would be great for dry weather conditions. 

Likes:

- Smells refreshing

- Light texture

- Easy and controllable packaging

Dislikes:

- Greasy feeling after an hour

- Not meant for hot weather

To Sum it up!

I really wish I asked for the spritzer bottle! I find that the bottle really bursts the product out when I twist it open, since its a liquid it spills all over so I try to place a cotton pad directly over the opening and then twist it open so that whatever spills goes on the cotton pad. It smells just very light and clean, I think in hot weather I would place this in the refrigerator and it would be a very nice way to wake up in the morning. A great component of this product is that you can apply it after using makeup if you use a spray bottle. I will transfer this product in a spray bottle so that it will be easier to use. I really like using this product, I like to apply this mostly over my T-zone to absorb most of the oil. It does a good job of further maintaining clean skin.

Likes:

- Can use over makeup

- Refreshing feeling

- Clean scent

- Absorbs excess oil

Dislikes:

- Flimsy twist up packaging
