One of the last few products to test out from I’m from is their vitamin tree water gel.ย Since I loved their mugwort cream so much, which had more of a gel texture, I was hoping the vitamin tree water gel would be the same case.ย If you haven’t tried I’m from as a brand before, check out their mugwort line and their famous I’m from honey mask if you have dry skin and need nourishing/ healing properties.ย Will this I’m from vitamin tree water gel work for dry skin?ย We’ll just have to see about that!

How to use:
After cleansing, use at the moisturizing stage of the skin care routine.
Product packaging:
This gel moisturizer comes in a gorgeous glass jar, which I plan to reuse afterward.ย The glass is quite heavy, so it might not be the most travel-friendly product to bring around.
After screwing off the lid, you’ll find a very typical feature in the majority of moisturizers nowadays.ย A lid inside a lid!ย I personally sometimes find it annoying to have to open yet another lid.ย Then I fumble on where I should place the lid inside the lid, then it falls moisturizer side down on my table and now I’m stuck between using the moisturizer on my face or not LOL.
Texture/ Finish:
This is a true gel moisturizer with absolutely no nourishing properties.ย There also seems to be witch hazel extract on top of brightening ingredients, which I find a bit drying for my already dry skin.ย I tried using this moisturizer for two weeks, however, I kept having to top it off with a thicker moisturizer.ย Even right now during a heat wave, I wouldn’t feel like this gel would do much for my skin type.
With the texture being so light, this moisturizer would work much better with those who have normal to oily skin types.ย It absorbs quickly and does not leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky in any way.
Pro:
To be honest, this gel was quite meh.ย I don’t really have anything nice to say.
Con:
-not nourishing enough
-not hydrating
-didn’t necessarily see brightening effects either
Repurchase?:
No

Overall thoughts:
This might be one of the few I’m from products I don’t care for.ย I guess I went into testing this out through rose-colored glasses, hoping it would be just like the mugwort cream… a plesant surprise if you will.ย Overall I don’t find this gel moisturizer appealing at all, at least not with my dry skin.ย If you have normal to oily skin and have tried this gel out before, please let me know what your experiences were with this gel!ย It is a pass for me.
