Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t fully moisturize my face, especially in certain areas that get dry. Since I have oily, acne-prone skin, I appreciate that it’s not heavy, but I wish it gave just a little more lasting hydration.

I really like the texture of the Curology Gel Moisturizer, it’s lightweight, non-greasy, and feels comfortable on my skin. It absorbs quickly, which makes it great for layering with other products in my routine.

Honestly, nothing major stood out as a negative. It did what it was supposed to do consistently and without any issues.

The texture is exactly what you’d expect from a good cleanser; rich, smooth, and easy to work with. It didn’t strip my skin or leave it feeling dry, which is a big win. After using it, my face felt clean and refreshed every time. Plus, a little goes a long way, mine lasted nearly a year, so definitely great value for the price.


It was a bit on the heavier side, and the scent was stronger than I’d prefer. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to fragrances or prefer a lighter feel.

This was my first time trying an oil cleanser, and I was honestly impressed. It did a solid job clearing out my pores; I could see the difference after just a few uses. It broke down build-up and grime effortlessly, making it a great first step in my routine.

While I love the texture and feel, I did find that it took quite a while for visible results to show. So if you're looking for something with quick results, this might require a bit more patience. But everyone's skin is different; Plus consistency is key!

This product has a beautiful, lightweight texture that glides effortlessly onto the skin. It's easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. It feels refreshing and does exactly what it promises, definitely a solid addition to any skincare routine.

It can be a little drying, but that’s nothing a good moisturizer can’t fix. You do have to be careful when using it, though it can bleach your skin and clothing if not applied properly. As long as you follow the instructions and take precautions, it’s worth it for the results.

PanOxyl was a game changer for my skin. It cleared my acne faster than I expected, leaving my face feeling fresh and clean. Over time, I also noticed my dark spots fading, which gave my skin a more even and healthy look. It’s strong and effective, so if you’re looking for visible results, this definitely delivers.
