BOTANITY Makiol Water Gel Cream | Moisturizing | Sebum Care | Pore Management | Hydrating & Mattifying for Oily Skin | 2.82oz

MAKIOL WATER GEL CREAM by BOTANITY is what my thirsty skin needed!!! The struggle has been real to find a moisturizer that works across the seasons and that doesn’t break out my skin. Thankfully, MAKIOL WATER GEL CREAM by BOTANITY has got me covered! This water-infused gel cream feels silky, cool, and hydrating against my skin. It easily absorbs, leaving an instant youthful glow! Super gentle, and no irritation for my sometimes sensitive skin. The recipe has a powerhouse of plant extracts to bring balance, strength and rejuvenation like some of my faves; centella asiatica extract, seaweed extract, sea buckthorn fruit extract, tea tree leaf, and hyaluronic acid. The results are amazing!!! My skin’s texture has a hydrated bounce, less breakouts, and overall radiance.

This gel cream is really good for skin and on pores too. It helps to get rid of excess oil on skin by maintaining hydration. I get really impressed with this gel cream as it’s One of light in texture plus so gentle on my skin. I get oil on specific areas of my face like on chin and nose area and i have noticed it helps to reduce it. It also gives a healthy glow on my face plus hydrate face throughout the day.

This gentle cleanser has been really great for my skin. It cleanses without leaving my face feeling tight or stripped, which is something I’ve struggled with before. It feels soft and calming when I use it and rinses off easily. My skin feels clean but still hydrated afterward, which I really appreciate. Overall, it’s become a solid part of my routine.

The Makiol water gel cream has been fantastic about reducing the amount of oil on my skin which has helped immensely in preventing breakouts. The best part is that this doesn't dry out my skin like other sebum reducing products do. It's suitable for daily wear and layers perfectly under makeup. I loved that the Water Gel cream was comparable in price to other sebum reducing products but the quality of ingredients is so much better! I'll be needing to purchase a second Makiol set soon now that my teenager has gotten her hands on it.

I have used this product for about 6 months now, when summer time first started. I will say this does the job here and there on the control of oily skin/excess sebum. My skin for sure felt less greasy. HOWEVER: it is not hydrating enough at all! I have slight redness on my T-Zone now (where my oiliness is) and my skin texture is a bit rough, similar to when I face dry skin issues in the past. I usually would use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Fragrance Free, as that usually kept me moisturized, but it didn't really feel penetrating/hydrating toward the skin and it also left me kind of greasy, so I wanted to try this. It definitely does the job, but after 6 months of using it, I am unpleased with the hydration levels and will be using other products.

Most daily moisturizers make me look greasy/oily especially with my combination skin. This gel cream is hydrating but lightweight so I don’t look oily. It gives me a nice glow, which I like! I highly recommend!

This is the perfect lightweight moisturizer. It makes me feel so refreshed and clean without feeling heavy or leaving residue. It’s a definite must have for your skin care routine!

I wanted to love this moisturizer because i have oily and acne prone skin, but despite the reviews it made my face red and hot. I'll be returning.
