I’ve been using this moisturizer for months now. It is has a weird botanical smell, which I don’t mind. It is light and absorbs fast, spreads easily and keeps the skin moisturized for a while. 2 pumps is enough to cover my face, I usually apply it after my Ayuna exfoliating toner but I do put it on over the African Botanics Rose toner if my skin needs more hydration. The addition of anti-inflammatory ingredients such as Centella Extract, Zinc Gluconate and Copper Gluconate and antimicrobial properties of Kigelia Africana Extract makes this product soothing and a great choice for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.โฃ This moisturizer is rich in Niacinamide and brightens your skin instantly!
โฃ
In summary, this emulsion is rich in antioxidants; anti-aging and soothing ingredients; and uniquely extracted botanical humectants to protect, keep the skin moisturized, and improve redness. Recommended for combination and oily acne prone skin.โฃ
