Let me start off in mentioning that my skin, especially now that we are starting into the Fall/Winter cold/dry season is on the drier side. I typically experience dryness on my cheeks, forehead and very rarely am I oily. Something I feel comes with age perhaps!
My preference for a moisturizer is typically a rich cream type of moisturizer and I very rarely enjoy a gel based moisturizer. In my past experiences they have always left a sticky residue on my skin and they didn't really absorb into my skin, leaving makeup application not looking so good. A girl can't have that, can we!
MY EXPERIENCE WITH LANIEGE WATER GEL MOISTURIZER:
When I received the Laniege product I was a little disappointed at first, thinking that this would be my experience with this moisturizer as well. After using the product for over a month, I was really impressed. As you can see from the photo below, the cream is a white cream, and although it states is a gel, it also has a creamy texture to it. I was really impressed at it's hydration properties, my skin felt hydrated the entire day, not greasy, but just smooth and hydrated. They claim that this product provides 24 hour hydration, I can certainly attest that this product definitely delivers on it's claims. Another bonus feature for me, the product didn't sit on the top of my skin, it actually absorbed into my skin making makeup application, flawless.
