Check out another product testimonial from Krista Jones — a POPSUGAR editor and skincare-lover.
"If it's 12 p.m. and I haven't oil blotted my face at least once, I'm having a good day. For as long as I can remember, my skin has been oily. With acne-prone skin, I've spent years searching for the best products to combat these issues but always failed, until recently. A little over a year ago I started hearing a lot of buzz around a newer brand, Drunk Elephant. I decided to give this B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel ($52) a try and I've never looked back.
Initially, I get super nervous to try new products for the obvious reason of making my skin issues even worse. I made sure to do my research before making my purchase. I looked to Sephora's reviews because it's a great way to get unbiased opinions on what people are experiencing. I noticed a lot were saying that the gel texture was almost water-like and that's what sold me. Throughout the years of my turbulent skin problems and constantly testing new skincare products, I realised my face did not respond well to thick, heavy creams. Instead, it loves soaking up lightweight consistencies that feel thin and soft.
The first day I tried it, I knew I'd made the right choice. After applying it, my skin feels wet at first with a relaxing cooling sensation, and within seconds, it dries, leaving my face feeling silky soft. As an added bonus, after a week my skin texture was more even and less red. I even found myself oil blotting less and doing way fewer makeup touch-ups throughout the day.
My favourite part: the ingredients! I don't feel like I'm stuffing my face full of harmful chemicals. This cruelty-free product is formulated with clean and powerhouse ingredients like pro-vitamin B5 and a mix of pineapple, watermelon, apple, and lentil complexes, which provide long-lasting hydration. It doesn't just work on oily skin, either; according to other reviewers, the moisturising gel works wonders on people who suffer from dry skin."
