I was in the market for a fast absorbing, light weight, gentle face moisturizer for under makeup & saw this product on sale at Donki for under $10. I am naturally extremely oily (thanks genetics) & have semi sensitive skin.
The bottle looks lovely, with its frosted glass exterior, but the top feels a bit cheap. Upon opening, the top of the bottle has a tiny hole which makes getting the product out a slow process.
I tried this product over a favorite toner (Saturday Skin Pore Clarifying Toner specifically). Texturally, it is like a medium viscosity serum or thin gel. I used a cotton pad for application, as it is too watery to simply put in your hand & apply.
Upon application, I was immediately impressed by how quickly it absorbed! 30 seconds & it is no longer moist. It left my skin super soft & healthy looking, but not at all oily. Applied the rest of my makeup & went about my day as normal. The product did not cause pilling. It also did not cause any additional oiliness & is lightweight on the skin.
Officially 7 days into using this product & I’m thoroughly impressed! I sometimes react to moisturizing products with a few whiteheads within a couple days of testing something new, but have not experienced any acne at all! My skin is a lot softer & generally looks healthier/ more supple. The product claims to have anti-aging properties, but it’s honestly far too early for me to rate that claim.
All in all, for a super lightweight under makeup moisturizer, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! It also is substantially more affordable than the moisturizer I was using & absorbs far better. Overall love the product, but wish the bottle had a slightly larger hole to pour the product out of. 4.75/5

Thanks for your review. I saw lots of stem cell products for skin care on Yesstyle and always wanted to know if there is anything to it.
