All skin types need moisturizing. A very good moisturizer doesn’t clog the pores or make the skin look shiny or greasy. Packaging is nice to look at but it’s ingredients that matter the most when it comes to skin care. Otherwise you’ll not get the end results you wish. It’s always good to be fully aware of the ingredients in the products you use & how these ingredients work on your skin. It’s also good to be fully aware of your skin type to find the best moisturizer for you… ?2007
