I love SKIN1004, so I was excited to try this cream! I have very dry and sensitive skin, but it's prone to breakouts, so I thought this product may be a good way to help keep my skin clear while maintaining the moisture I need. Unfortunately, I don't think it was a good fit for my skin type, and I wasn't a fan of the formula either.
I will say that this product didn't cause me to breakout during the time that I was testing it, and the price is great for the 75ml tube, so if this does work out for you then it'd be a great option to have!
š A LOT of pilling
š Left skin feeling tight and looking shiny
š Tea tree oil scent is strong

The biggest problem with this moisturizer is one that I noticed very quickly- the formula is VERY silicone-heavy and it pills like crazy! I tried it together with different products to see if it was just a bad combination causing the pilling, but this cream pilled on me even when applied on its own. The cream is pure white and has a somewhat thick texture, but once rubbed in it becomes clear. After sinking in, the product had an unpleasantly "dry" feeling finish that left my skin feeling on the tight side. Despite that, it still looked shiny, so it didn't feel or look great. It also has a strong scent as a result of the tea tree oil content- this didn't cause a reaction on my sensitive skin, but it's worth noting. Although I experienced no new breakouts from this product, I didn't see any improvements either. I tested it as a spot treatment a few times too, but didn't see any results.
