    Great daytime moisturiser

    Really like to use this during the day under my makeup, as I find it has a good base and doesn't pile or affect my makeup. I prefer something a little richer for nighttime though.

    Beautiful

    Love this moisturiser. It hydrates but doesn't leave your face looking wet. Absorbs beautifully into skin.

    THE ONLY MOISTURISER YOU NEED!

    I am thankful this moisturiser was invented! I have never found a moisturiser that nourishes and hydrates my skin without clogging my pores or feel greasy and heavy on my face. I don't know how to tell you without telling you, YOU NEED THIS!! Oh wait! My before and after pics will 😉

    Love it!

    I love the new upgraded formula! It is far less irritating for my super sensitive skin!😍 Also the pump design is good, took my a bit to get used to, but it is good none the less. Sometimes it does stop pumping for a bit, but 6 or so pumps later it starts working again.😊

    Solid pick

    A great, no frills moisturiser that does what it says. At 39 years old I could probably do with a cream that’s a tiny bit richer. But I’d need it not to provoke acne. I would love to see TBH have a crack at creating this anti-ageing, acne-reducing moisturiser of my dreams! I bet they’d nail it.

    Love this product …. But

    I’ve been using tbh for soooo long . Love the company love the products . But I don’t like when new packaging and new formulas come out and all of a sudden you’ve lost 25% of your product , because the moisturiser used to be 100ml and now it’s 75ml , it just seems sneaky , so I can’t lie that’s disappointed me ,

    New packaging 💖

    This moisturiser is lovely—not too heavy on the skin but still hydrating, and the new packaging is great!

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.
