My most favorite moisturizer. I am on my second bottle already. Bottle lasts a really long time so value for money. Leaves my dry skin smooth and hydrated. No oily feeling. Love love love.

I’ve been using this moisturiser for 6 months and it has been the best one I’ve found for my oily skin. It absorbs almost instantly, it has a lovely texture and it leaves no stickiness on the skin itself. I have very oily skin and this moisturises my skin without clogging my pores. Definitely my go to product.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved something as much as this moisturizer!! It is the absolute best!! I bought mine in March and it’s almost finished now – it actually lasted so long (I use it morning & night). Worked so well with my oily textured skin & I’ve honestly seen such an improvement!! Also works really well with my makeup application as it absorbs really quickly and creates a smooth barrier. Can’t wait to get my next bottle!!

This moisturiser does the rare job of hydrating and sealing it in without producing oil. Doesnt leave face feeling matte and dry – but balanced. Also adding an extra pump doesn’t mean extra heaviness, it stays light and fresh. Great it for combining with spfs that. usually make you look shiney – will tone that down.
I prefer to use it during the day, the lemon peel oil might not play well with retinol or night time ingredients.

Fantastic moisturizer. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized throughout the day. I use this in the morning and the rice mask in the evening.

Fantastic moisturizer. I have oily skin and every other moisturizer I’ve tried have left me feeling all oily for the rest of the day after applying it. This product absorbs quickly and makes the skin feels light and soft all day long.

I am so grateful I found this product, having oily skin makes it difficult to find products that keep the skin hydrated while reducing excess sebum. This product does an amazing job at oil control, it has clean ingredients and is very affordable. I use this in conjunction with the COSRX Salicylic acid face wash and have seen a great difference in my acne and texture.

Love love love this moisturizer!! It makes your skin feel silky smooth without it feeling oily – penetrates the skin quickly and has a calming affect for those with irritable skin. Value for money and is a great all round moisturizer!
Rene (verified owner) –
This is my go-to moisturizer for everyday use, especially as my summer staple. It feels light on the skin, spreads really well, moistens really well and the birch sap makes it feel really nourishing. It has a thin, spreadable creamy/gel consistency, like silicone. It has a subtle smell like Coca-Cola fizz pops. Once again COSRX for the win on high-value products, good ingredients, and texture of their products.

I am very happy with this moisturizer. My skin tends to get quite oily during the day, but this moisturizer is light and quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving a matte effect after.

I have dehydrated oily skin that’s sensitive and prone to cystic acne. I’ve found that this is a great basic moisturiser when my skin is oversensitised and I need to return to absolute basics to repair my skin barrier. So this is my go-to when I’m undergoing acne or skin treatments, and I need something I’m guaranteed not to react to. It’s light enough for summer, and heavy enough for soring and autumn, but you may need something extra for winter or for dry skin.
