Marketed as an ultra-hydrating luxury cream for a plump, dewy glow, this rich moisturizer is highly comedogenic. It is packed with heavy, pore-blocking esters and sensitizing fragrances that are guaranteed to trigger closed comedones and severe acne for anyone with oily or acne-prone skin.
Toxic / Comedogenic Ingredients Flagged
