Finally, a moisturizer that doesn't feel heavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My T-zone gets so oily by noon, but this cooling gel texture absorbs instantly. It’s scent-free and keeps me matte all day without drying me out. Perfect for summer heat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a cool, jelly-like texture that sinks in instantly. My T-zone stays matte all day without feeling tight. It has a faint, clean scent and zero sticky residue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooling, jelly-like texture absorbs instantly without leaving my T-zone oily. It’s unscented and keeps my skin hydrated all day. Perfect for humid weather.

Keeps my greasy T-zone matte all afternoon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blue gel feels like a splash of cold water. It absorbs in seconds and keeps my forehead from looking like a grease slick by 2 PM. Best oil-control cream I've found.

Emptied 3 bottles already
This product is so light weighted, and I enjoy using it during the hot summer days. I also tried the one with SPF but ended up just using this version with sunscreens of higher SPF. It works well (in terms of compatibility) with other items applied afterwards and I had no problem any combinations.
