  • “Great moisturizer in its own right. Absolutely love it”4:59–5:03
  • “Where I think this comes into its own as like a transformative skin care product rather than just a box standard moisturizer, is when you use it on the nose or areas where you have blackheads to pull out the excess oil, the dirt, debris, and sebaceous filaments”6:17–6:21
  • “I tried a little hack... oil pulling with a moisturizer where you take an oil-based moisturizer and you massage it into the area where you have the blackheads and sebaceous filaments and it pops them all out. I was skeptical. I tried it. It worked”5:49–5:54
  • “I actually think this probably works better than the La Roche-Posay because of its formula”6:12–6:17
  • “Better than any pore strip, better than any mask that you're going to use. Just massage it into the area for solid 5 minutes. You'll feel those little plugs coming out. That's satisfying and it genuinely works”6:24–6:29
  • “I do this once a week, every week, keeps everything in check. So, so good”6:38–6:42

Brand note

Geek & Gorgeous is a budget-friendly European skincare brand that focuses on straightforward, effective formulas without the marketing fluff. Their Mighty Melt Cleansing Balm is a standout — creators consistently call it a favorite for removing makeup and sunscreen without stripping the skin, and it's priced under $15. The brand also gets love for its retinal serums and a moisturizer that doubles as a pore-clearing treatment, but the overall vibe is reliable, no-nonsense skincare that delivers results without the hype.
