The ingredient list is far from good, but it contains salicylic acid which was a good surprise for me. The gel structure is fine but a little bit sticky. But in comparison to other gel structured moisturizers this one is not too sticky. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin but I think it irritates my skin a little and doesn't leave the skin feel hydrated. I think it is caused by the alcohol which it contains and my skin always react like that on alcohol-based products. My skin is combination (oily in T-zone and normal on cheeks) acne prone and sensitive. It definitely didn't help my skin but also didn't hurt it.
i started using this along with the rest products in this blue pack from yves rocher, i've reviewed the cleanser and toner already and both did not work well for my skin type, but this gel is by far the worst of the three, its consistency is gel like and feels heavy on the skin, it doesn't penetrate the skin and somehow sits on top of it, it makes me look greasy and "shiny" in a weird way, after i wash my face in the evening it feels super dehydrated as if i had no moisturiser on, all the products together don't do much at all, and also they leave tiny blue dust-like thingies on my face, these dust things form throughout the day and i had people point that out to me as i go through my day, i keep removing them and they keep forming. i have combination skin and this gel moisturiser somehow managed to make my whole face dehydrated despite the fact that when i apply it i look super greasy, as i said before it's all just on the surface, the skin inside is stripped from all natural oils especially since i used the cleaner and toner which come with the gel. There's also an exfoliant in the same category and it's the only good thing about this whole yves rocher combination skin face pack. And finally for fungal acne, it made it horribly worse, i've never had so much fungal acne until i started using this gel
