Lightweight hydration!
I've been using the Hypothesis Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream in my daily skincare and it's been terrific for my skin! It gives my skin the hydration it needs without any heaviness or feeling greasy. I love the way it feels on my skin. It's very soothing on irritated skin and areas with breakouts. My skin also looks brighter and fresher since I started using it. This is the perfect moisturizer for acne prone skin and I highly recommend it!
nice light moisturizer
This moisturizer is a nice summer weight moisturizer for acne prone skin. I lean drier and live somewhere where average humidity in summer is 85% and winter is 15% so I know it probably won't be what I reach for during those months.
Lightweight and effective
I am really impressed by this product. It felt more lightweight and slippery, and less creamy, than the daily moisturizer I typically use. But it was so hydrating!! It totally soothed the tight feeling I get after washing my face and was super effective at keeping my dry skin hydrated. Worked all day, didn't clog my pores, didn't interfere with my makeup. I also like the dispenser, I only needed a little to apply over my whole face and this dispenser gave me good control over how much I pumped out.
Hypothesis Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream
This is the best facial moisturizer I have ever come across. I have skin that is very reactive to heavier creams. It will reject is and just sit on top of my skin and cause me to appear shinier than usual. This gel cream is perfect. It absorbs like butter and is extremely Hydrating. What I do is use it in the day time and put my sunscreen on top of it and I never get shiny! I also believe it has evened out my tone and cleared up hyperpigmentation. It has also never clogged my pores which is plus.
Love the gel cream!
This was a great product. I like having skincare products that feel lightweight on my skin and this product was lightweight, moisturizing, and didn't give me any negative effects on my skin because my skin is pretty sensitive. Also love that it doesn't have a super strong smell/scent to it. Nice to apply on my face and dries nicely, doesn't feel sticky or heavy.
