In fact, my skin felt so dry using the just the Gel that I ended up using it as a ‘toner’ lớn remove dirt off my face when I didn’t feel like washing it. At the time, I did track và cross country so my face got gross!I tried the Lotion và it still didn’t bởi me any good. It felt heavier & unpleasantly heavy in comparison khổng lồ the lightweight gel & I gave it to my mom or sister haha.I’ve tried many of their moisturizers because Clinique does GWP’s all year long.
