I use it not only as a face cream but also as a primer, and it has made a noticeable difference in how my makeup looks and feels throughout the day.

As a face cream, it provides excellent hydration without leaving my skin greasy. I have combination skin, and this cream manages to balance moisture perfectly. Sy skin feels soft and nourished without becoming oily. When used as a primer, it helps my makeup last all day and creates a smooth base for application.

I love that it doesn’t cause any breakouts, which is a huge plus for me. Overall, it’s a versatile product that delivers great results and keeps my skin looking its best. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable face cream and primer!” —NL
