Vitamin Tree Water-Gel
True to it's name, this is a water gel that feels so light and refreshing on the skin. The moment I glide this over my face, I can feel the burst of hydration and an instant cooling sensation. It is very comfortable and light weight, leaving a breathable hydrating film on my skin. Visibly, there is no shiny greasy appearance upon full absorption.
Aside from the star ingredient of vitamin tree / sea buckthorn, it also contains niacinamide, which is a great multi tasking ingredient. Making this an ideal gel for hydration and subtle brightening. There was also no noticeable fragrance, the gel just smells like a generic product smell.
Since this is a light weight gel, layering with other skincare products is easy. I didn't notice any pilling with different combination of products.
First off, a squeeze tube would have been ideal for gels of this consistency. I dislike how unhygienic and clumsy it is to use a jar for this gel.
This gel also leaves a slightly tacky finish, which is why I don't particularly enjoy using it for my AM routine (I don't like the feeling of my hair sticking to the sides of my face).
However, I also find this gel to be insufficient as the last layer for my PM routine (even after layering essences and serums). I find the need to add a few drops of facial oil to this gel at night because it doesn't have an ideal water oil balance for my combination skin, it lacks moisture.
Overall I find this product to be too mediocre and expensive to repurchase, wouldn't really recommend even though it is an ok product.

Yea I have a lot of spatulas 😂 but that's just an extra step to wash it each time as well. And I prefer less air exposure for my products

You can use little spoon that comes with the packaging if you're cautious about hygiene
