2-in-1 Hydrating Gel | Lightweight Mandelic Acid Moisturizer for Oily, Blemish-Prone Skin | Aloe Vera, Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Bakuchiol | 4 oz

This is my holy grail moisturizer! I have dermatitis, rosacea, acne, and mixed dry/oily skin. It contains azelaic acid which is great for reducing redness. It does not contain any ingredients that feed skin mites so it does not trigger dermatitis. It does contain an oil, squalane, which is a very light oil that closely resembles our own body's natural oil. It is a very light product, so it's perfect for summer use. In the winter, I layer it with squalane oil for extra moisture. It feels very light and soaks in quickly. It smells very softly of almonds but is subtle, so again, perfect for sensitive skin. This is a very gentle, light, but moisturizing lotion. It has a slight sheen so it makes my face glow with a hint of dewiness, but doesn't look oily or drenched at all. If you have sensitive, problem skin, this is the stuff for you!

I’ve been using the level 2 almond clear for a couple years because it’s the very first thing that’s ever cleared up my bumpy butt. I also use it on my face because it evened my skin tone out even though I only get the occasional pimple there. I can’t live without this brand at this point. So the level 2 would cause my skin to dry out on my face (mostly my nose but it is expected) but I would mix it with other products to combat the peeling on my nose and sometimes forehead. Once I saw the brand had its own premade mixture of moisturizer and mandelic acid, I knew I had to buy. It’s perfect.

i have VERY oily skin and fungal acne. this moisturizer controls my oil, has greatly helped with minimizing fungal acne, and keeps my face super soft all while being light weight. my makeup also sits nicely on the skin with this lotion. i love it!! i’ll definitely be purchasing again

I have oily skin, and this product dried it out so much that it actually caused me to develop cystic acne—something I had never experienced before. I’m confident this product is the culprit since it was the only change in my routine. I gave it multiple chances, trying it three separate times with weeks or months in between, and every single time it led to cystic breakouts and worsened my overall skin condition. It’s clear this product doesn’t work for me. I really wanted to love it, but after three failed attempts, I can’t give it anything more than 1 star. EDIT 12/4/24: I’m updating my review to 3 stars because the customer service I received was excellent. They listened to my feedback, apologized for the inconvenience, and were very understanding. While this product didn’t work for me, I recognize that it may work for others. I might even be willing to try a different formula from this brand in the future.

I live in a hot and humid climate and I thought this would be great as a summer moisturizer. However it just didn’t cut it. I still needed an additional moisturizer. I like that this didn’t clog my pores. (I typically have normal to dry skin)
