Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation

Would I repurchase/recommend:  I had very high hopes from Ole henriksen Sheer transformation moisturizer. It has great ingredients and is recommended by many bloggers. But everyone's skin needs are different, for my combination oily skin , it was pleasant but not something which made any improvement. I look for such creams which hydrate and improve the skin in long term, this was just an average expensive cream, Hence a big "no" .

Hot ☕ or Not ♻ ? ♻
