The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For skin that feels stripped after acne products. Too rich if you are still very oily and breaking out.
Formula standards
4.4/5
A quiet cream that should not sting. Use it at night when the routine has been harsh.
The verdict
Keep it for the weeks skin is recovering. It will not unclog pores on its own.
