Cannot recommend this enough. I’m super picky over moisturizer and I use both the Peptide and the Weightless moisturizers (depending on weather/time of day) and they are AMAZING. They feel so good on my skin, I love that they aren’t fragranced, not to mention: most beautiful, chic packaging. (38y/o with combo skin.)

I actually left my review for this on the the Hydration Peptide Cream sachet. But in essence, this is the best moisturizer for oily, acne prone skin.

Although it's really too early to know of any real benefits, I do like the feel of my skin after using the Hydration Peptide Cream. It's not too heavy, nor too light, it's just that sweet "Goldylocks"-like middle ground of being "just right". My skin definitely feels better after using it and seems to last well into the day. Just the perfect fit for my routine!
