Editor Quote: “Though I was worried the additional skin-care step would clog my pores over time, leading to pimples and what have you, my skin’s texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too. For a while, I had been feeling as though the cream would just sit atop my skin after application, and now I feel like it’s actually penetrating through and sinking in. Best of all, I finally feel close to glazed doughnut status.” — Kelsey Garcia, associate content director, Balance
