A decent, mild, and light moisturizer
The texture of this reminded me very much of the Cosrx Birch Sap Lotion, which I've been using for years. Both are fast-absorbing watery gel-creams that are well suited as lightweight summer moisturizers. Humidity where I live is often 80% or higher for 9 months of the year, so this is exactly the texture I'm looking for in a daily moisturizer. Folks with dry skin or in a drier climate would probably need something heavier and more occlusive.
The Rovectin Lotus cream didn't cause any irritation or breakouts. I am fairly prone to whiteheads if I use something too oily or heavy on my face, and my rosacea can be easily irritated by harsher ingredients. No such issues during the month I've been using this. My only gripes? One, the name: this isn't a cream, it's a light lotion. Two, "clean" skincare is kind of a marketing gimmick and I don't really care to buy from brands that tout themselves as such. Overall, I slightly prefer the Cosrx Birch Sap lotion but this is an okay alternative.
