Yes. It is intentionally simple, effective, and versatile enough to serve as your one daily moisturizer for both morning and night.
Does the texture feel heavy or do I need to use a lot of product?
A small amount spreads easily, and the lightweight, non-greasy finish means you use less per application, keeping your routine clean and economical.
