What the product description says

“This gentle, refreshing and non-comedogenic moisturizer is what sensitive, acne-prone skin has been waiting for.”

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dipotassium glycyrrhizate, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: squalane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

I’m not fully used to gel moisturizers, I’ve always used creams for years, but this is the one. It takes a little time to soak in but when it does I feel moisturized for the day.

At first I was quite happy with this moisturizer, it calmed some redness I had at the time and it was very lightweight. I did notice a slight fragrance when using it the first time. I think it's the butylene glycol which is high in ingredient list. However, over time the fragrance became SO MUCH worse to the point it was almost unbearable. It had a plastic like smell my skin didn't appreciate, small comedones began to form on my forehead. I'm not sure if I'm sensitive for butylene glycol or the product had gone bad, but I personally wouldn't repurchase this product.
