Fantastic moisturizer
I normally do not like the feeling of lotions on my face, specially in the heat. This milk base is the perfect moisturizer. It has reduced my dryness substantially and made my skin look healthy.

Best moisturizer for winter!
This 2026 winter has been rough! So much snow and freezing temperatures and my skin really suffered and I started searching for a moisturizer. I had rough patches and redness -- this moisturizer tackled both! While my redness did not completely go away, I can definitely report smoother, softer skin, less rough patches and moisture that last all day without feeling heavy! I recommend this 10/10 for anyone looking for a great product that doesn't have fragrance and is true clean beauty quality.
