Think of this oil-free moisturizer as a sidekick for the Allure Best of Beauty winning Differin Gel (i.e. one of the most revolutionary acne breakthroughs in years). Not only is this moisturizer non-comedogenic, but it actually absorbs excess oil (read: fewer breakouts). Plus, this formula contains SPF — so it thwarts breakouts and UV rays.

This moisturizer is the consistency of greek yogurt, yet it absorbs quick enough to be worn under makeup for daytime use. That said, it’s rich enough to use as a nighttime moisturizer, too. What’s more, it can even be used as a weekly hydrating mask (just glob on and tissue off after 10 minutes). Not only is this baby a multitasker, but it’s also suitable for all skin types. The formula smells ever-so-faintly floral, but not in a synthetic way — probably because it’s infused with rosewater.

Like an actual parfait, there’s no one right way to eat — er apply— it: Wear the formulas separately, layer them, or mix them together. We felt radiant, not greasy, any way we mixed and matched.

In fact, it dries down to a smooth velvety finish (one Allure editor is partial to using it as a makeshift makeup primer). Additionally, Allure’s deputy beauty director Elizabeth Siegel loves how this stuff keeps her dry skin supple and hydrated hours after application.
