Hi! I don't know if this related but I just bought this product online (I kind of regret doing so) and I would just like to know whether or not it is authentic. I've read articles about it, as well as vlogs but I am still in doubt. 

Can someone tell me what it is supposed to smell? And what other features I must look out for that I may be able to tell it really is authentic?

TO Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

I've been using St. Ives Moisturizer for more than 3 years now. It was only until recently that I started to speculate that it may be the reason behind my breakouts 😭🤦🏻‍♀️. Along with this moisturizer, I've used products that unconsciously destroyed my barrier so I am currently trying to restore it with Krave products (Matcha Cleanser and Great Barrier Relief). I've also bought The Ordinary 0.2% in squalene...

Can someone recommend a moisturizer? 🙁 Thank you in advance 💓

Moisturizer for Oily skin

...until you experience dryness after using it for a couple of days, then months 🙃. It was NOT hydrating at all. At first, I thought it was but then the more I applied it on my face, the more irritated my pimples got. To add more on to that, pimples started coming up on my jawline and at the front of my ears. 😪 I knew I should&#39;ve listened to Hyram. 

I&#39;&#39;ve tried two bottles of the smaller version of this just in case I would see real results later but nahhhh...

I love the appearance of the bottle. The smell and water-like &quot;texture&quot; is also good...

I don&#39;t apply it on my face anymore because it only leaves my skin dry after a few minutes of applying it. I&#39;ve also experienced breakouts every time I apply this.

It is soothing and may calm down redness or itchiness on other parts of the body.
