This is a holy Grail item for me. It smells like green tea which is a big plus - I love green tea smell! It doesn’t irritate my skin. More importantly, it doesn’t create any break outs , and i certainly don’t have as many break outs as I used to have. I actually find this moisturizing, and I don’t need to layer other moisturizers on top in the summer. But then again, I have oily skin, and this does seem to cut down the oiliness on my face. Your mileage may vary, but I’m really happy with this product. I need to explore more green tea products now...
