Thank You Farmer True Water Light Gel Cream Review
19:59:00My first product from Thank You Farmer would be this gel cream. Sorry for the bad image quality this round because it wasn't a good lighting day. It's a popular requested product, so I thought I shouldn't delay it further. Thank You Farmer products price range are in the mid-high range. So is it really worth to get your hands on them?

The brand is embossed on the lid. The packaging feels very sturdy and classy.
Texture reminds me of Laneige's waterbank gel cream.
The swatch. It looks heavy, but blends out like a water gel cream.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: A light and refreshing deep-hydrating moisturizing gel cream that is as fresh as fruit juices.
It is slightly occlusive which is good as it seals moisture in. This is very moisturising but be careful not to put too much, or it will just sit on your skin.
Claim 2: A thin long-lasting protective barrier that stays light and fresh.
I don't feel this is a thin gel cream when I first tried it on. The texture freaked me out a little at first. Give it some time to absorb and pat it in, it does absorbs at the end.
Claim 3: Great for oily/combination skin with a fresh texture.
It didn't leave any tacky feeling but it does feels like you have something on top of your skin. I tried to cut it lesser and lesser and apply. The amount you scoop out matters. Just a tiny amount would do.
Claim 4: A natural moisturizing gel cream that captures your heart with a sensible scent.
There is a lemony scent, I did not like the scent initially.
