The Edyt Score
4.6 / 5.0
Targets
4.6/5
For dull skin that wants a plump, shiny finish. If you need a mattifying niacinamide, this will feel sticky.
Formula standards
4.5/5
Essence-like and easy under cream. It can pill if you rush the next layer.
The verdict
Use it for weeks if glow is the goal. It will not dry out a shiny T-zone.
