My Experience
I've always avoided using a moisturizer during the day because of my oily skin. I always proceed to my sunscreen application after my serums and actives. However a few weeks back, my skin started to feel dry and rough; so I decided to try using Romer's moisturizer seeing as it can be used both during the day and night.
To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical to use the moisturizer in the morning. The texture was creamy and I was almost sure that my skin was gonna get greasy throughout the day. But the product proved me wrong!
✅ Despite the creamy texture, it sits lightly on the skin and did not feel greasy despite the scorching heat. P.S I wore this moisturizer under a 49C heat.
✅ Sits well under a sunscreen and does not feel heavy.
✅ I felt my skin recover from the rough texture.
✅ At night, I topped the moisturizer with a facial oil and my skin felt all the more better.
🆗 It does have that noticeable rosemary scent. I wasn't a fan at first but eventually I got used to the fragrance. With it's performance, I'm happy to overlook the scent!
❌ I think the only caveat with this moisturizer is the packaging. Considering the slightly thick texture of the product, I feel like a pump packaging is not the best choice. Once my moisturizer was nearing empty, I couldn't scrape through the rest of the product stuck in the pump 😔 There's also still a lot of it left at the bottom (photo below) which I'm gonna need to get out.
Final verdict
This has got to be the best moisturizer I've tried. I've used quite a lot of moisturizer but they're always too heavy to be used in the day; which is why I've always stuck to using an aloe vera gel. The only thing I wish they change is the packaging. Using a tub/jar for a cream like this would be better.
