leelee8 review for Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

I don't have much of anything bad to say about this product. However, the one thing that is lacking for me and has me reaching for other moisturizers over this one oftentimes is that it isn't moisturizing enough for me long-term. It feels nice and plump and moisturized at first, but within a couple hours my cheeks start to feel a little dry. They don't get flaky, patchy, or feel tight, but it feels like it's on the brink of dryness to where it might not feel quite as smooth compared to when it's moisturized. I think it'd be just fine for those who have oily skin or combo skin that leans a little more on the oily side overall, or it would be great during the spring and summer if you're going to be outside a good bit. I used this during the bulk of the pandemic though, for which I was inside all day everyday, so I think being inside with the AC on contributed to the lack of moisture I felt after a couple hours. I've used another moisturizer that's more watery in texture though and haven't had this same issue despite still being inside all day, so I chalked it up this moisturizer not being quite enough for my cheeks when inside all day or during the winter in a less humid climate. Lastly, in my experience at least, this does feel just the tiniest bit tacky right after application but that goes away quickly. The tiny bit of tack doesn't bother me — I mainly care about price, ingredients, and a product's effectiveness on my skin — but others may take issue with it.
