Believe the hype

Ive bought 10 of these. 1 a month for 10 months. This was the first product I tried from Clearstem and the only moisturizer I wasn’t scared to put on my face. Gentle, smells amazing, and so hydrating. I add a couple drops of the watermelon barrier oil at night to make it extra moisturizing. I will continue to buy this forever. A huge part of clearing my acne!

I feel like this needs to be remarketed as a serum rather than a moisturizer. It is hudrating, but it lacks something to seal in that hydration. My skin ends up feeling tight if I dont top this with another moisturizer. Still too soon if it's helping with my hormonal acne, but i havent noticed it breaking me out, which is nice. The scent is not for me - kind of like grape soda/cough syrup - but it doesn't linger after applying, so it wasnt a deal breaker. Just really wish it was more moisturizing.

I really need someone to tell ke what I’m doing wrong here because everyone I know who has tried this, loves it. The smell is wonderful and I really like the way it feels when I first put it on, but it doesn’t leave me feeling moisturized - I typically end up feeling dry all day. Should I be pairing it with something else like a serum? My onky other gripe, and could be user error, is that I cant wear any make up on top of this. It pills so bad and makes me look like I am peeling, but its just the moisturizer. Help??!!
