It really does moisturise well. I have a normal-oily skin and I only use it at night as it would be way too heavy for daytime. I also don't use it every day and switch it up with other serums. One thing I do not like is the scent - it is rather artificially sweet but I'm glad it goes away quickly. It almost smells like candy and at first I was very scared the fragrance might irritate my acne prone skin but I didn't notice any side effects. Definitely a serum you might want to look into if you have dry skin.
