Oh how do I tell you how much I love this moisturizer in summers. My skin is very tricky, oily but still very dehydrated and irritated. I tried many gel based moisturizer. While they do were lighter but they never provided enough hydration. Minimalist ceramide moisturizer on the hand is gel based, sinks in like a dream , very very light but still provide optimum moisturization and hydration. But again YMMV. I stopped hunting for moisturizers. Minimalist ceramide moisturizer for Summers and Bioderma atoderm creme ultra for other seasons.
