Best moisturizer

This moisturizer is lightweight yet helps hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation and redness, and improve acne. It also contains niacinamide to brighten the skin. I LOVE IT!

Wanted to try this

I wanted to try this so I got the mini size, didn't notice too much with so little product and just used it as a spot treatment. I didn't really like how thick the consistency was, granted I think its more a moisturizer really than a cream. I would say it is more hydrating for sure tho because I noticed it made areas I put it on smoother

Less moisturizing than 345?

I got both this cream and the 345 just because I wasn't sure which would be more helpful for my dry, acne-prone skin. I know that the 147 is supposed to be more hydrating, but I found myself feeling much more moisturized and refreshed with the 345. Texture is the same lightweight feel though!

Perfect for my redness/rosacea! I live in northern Canada were it can be very cold and dry, and this product made my skin hydrated and less red in appearance. My aging skin is also getting drier, and this product provides a great barrier to hold in the moisture. I order 2 at a time, so I never run out!

Love

So great for dry, sensitive skin! I live in Alberta and it’s so dry in the winter, especially as I already have dry skin. This cream is perfect, not too thick and greasy, and wears well under makeup.
