    The best moisturiser I’ve used

    I’ve always struggled with knowing what products to use for my sensitive skin. I’m prone to getting two-three pimples on my chin which leave bad scarring and this moisturiser is so gentle on my skin! I wake up in the morning feeling so refreshed after applying it and what makes it better is that it goes on thin and your face doesn’t feel so smothered in product. The fact that they show you the correct order of which product to use really helps making the skin process easier. I now love my morning and night skincare routine! If you’re like me and you have issues with your skin but you don’t know where to start. I highly recommend giving these products a go!

    Nice!

    Enjoying this so far! Feels really nice on the skin as it goes on and my acne prone skin seems to like it! My only gripe is that the pump seems to have a hard time getting the product out consistently. I also find myself still using a thicker moisturiser over top of this at night, but that’s probably just a me thing!

Is Thirst Trap good for breakout-prone skin?

Yes. It was designed specifically for breakout-prone skin and uses non-comedogenic ingredients that hydrate without clogging pores.

Will this make my skin oily?

Nope. The texture is lightweight and balanced, so your skin feels hydrated, not greasy.

Can I wear it under makeup?

Yes. It sits beautifully under makeup and works well with the rest of your routine.

Do I really need moisturiser if I have oily skin?

Yes bestie. Hydrated skin is balanced skin. Skipping moisturiser can actually cause your skin to produce more oil.

What makes Thirst Trap different from other moisturisers?

Thirst Trap was designed with breakout-prone skin in mind. The formula focuses on lightweight hydration and barrier support, so skin can stay hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy.

Why did you reformulate?

At The Breakout Hack we’re constantly improving our formulas. As skincare technology evolves, we revisit our products to make sure they’re still the best version they can be. When we revisited Thirst Trap, our goal was simple: improve hydration, refine the texture and make the formula work even better for breakout-prone skin.
