Hydrating moisturizers and toners

Very hydrating formula, thick and creamy

Love this! But because it’s so light weight it’s not the most hydrating..which is why I always precede with extra hydration such as a toner like Laniege or a hydrating serum.

I know everyone says you don’t have to have an eye cream… but I like them and will continue to use this one. I don’t think it hurts to have a little moisture around the eyes especially if using actives in skincare routine.
