PROS: Beautiful softening texture. Like covering your face in a plush blanket. No irritation whatsoever and I really saw some brightening in my skin. I used this with tret and it help keep the redness away.
CONS: Slightly heavy for me during the day. I have oily skin and live in a humid/tropical country. So this + sunscreen on top made me look a bit shinier than what I'm used to. Easily solved by using this at night. You might not have the same issue if your skin type and climate are different.
