The Gel Moisturizer My Combination Skin Cannot Live Without Having combination skin can be a bit of a blessing and a curse. While parts of my face are dry, other parts produce enough oil to (hopefully) help stave off the aging process. This makes finding the right moisturizer a bit of a challenge. I want to add just the right amount of hydration to the dry zones without creating an oil slick (or worse, causing pimples) in the more saturated spots. A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb, $38, and it's been my go-to ever since.
Aqua Bomb is one of the OG's of gel-creams with its light-as-air consistency and a gorgeous, sky blue hue. Immediately upon application, your skin is cooled and refreshed. You'll notice the light, herbal fragrance, which is very spa-like but diffuses over time. The moisturizer sinks right in and leaves my combo skin in a perfect state of homeostasis — neither dry nor oily. I especially love the cooling sensation when it's warm outside, though I reach for this moisturizer pretty much all times of the year. It packs enough moisture for bedtime but is also light enough to wear under makeup.
Sephora recently released a limited-edition 100ml value size (double the amount) so, if you're like me, run, don't walk to stock up on this gem as it will quickly become your new favorite moisturizer.
