      If you find yourself in beauty circles, there's a 99% likelihood you'll hear conversations about Sofie Pavitt. The aesthetician, often called NYC's "acne whisperer," is the leading authority on breakout-prone skin, having transformed many complexions—including those of celebrities and numerous beauty editors—from her downtown studio. (I nearly begged to see her right before my wedding, which shows how effective her skin-clearing expertise is.) Her name and brand frequently come up at the Who What Wear office, especially due to her renowned Mandelic Clearing Serum. Almost all my colleagues have inquired whether it lives up to the hype, and I confidently reply: Yes, it absolutely does. Recently, I've been inundated with questions about another upcoming Sofie Pavitt Face product—one I can't stop raving about since receiving an early sample months ago. "Is it good?" one editor asked as soon as I settled at my desk. "Should I buy it?" another chimed in. My reply? "It might just be my favorite product in the entire line." Before I even had my first cup of coffee, several staff members declared their intentions to add it to their carts. You should consider doing the same before it sells out. Trust me—this product is a standout.

      Introducing Pavitt's Skin Jelly Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer, a lightweight hydrator with a bouncy, jelly-like texture. As the name implies, there’s no oil in the formula—making it a fantastic addition to your summer routine—and it even helps balance oil production, thanks to zinc and copper PCA. However, if your skin is on the drier side, don’t worry; this moisturizer contains beta-glucan and panthenol for hydration and soothing, along with allantoin and centella asiatica to ease redness and inflammation.

      I have combination skin that is also breakout-prone and somewhat sensitive (a delightful combination, I know), so this formula is ideal for addressing all my needs. Moreover, it works wonderfully as a base for makeup. In my opinion, the jelly consistency resembles a primer and adheres perfectly to foundation and concealer—no pilling at all. It doesn’t provide a glowing finish, which some may typically seek in moisturizers, but that doesn’t mean it lacks hydration. Unlike traditional mattifying moisturizers that can feel tacky on the skin, this one glides on effortlessly, and I can genuinely feel its soothing, plumping effects with each application. My skin feels hydrated but not greasy—an incredibly challenging balance to achieve. It definitely differs from the brand’s Omega Rich Moisturizer, which has a richer texture and a dewy finish. Both are noncomedogenic (would you expect anything less from the acne expert?), but the jelly version is more suitable for those preferring a lighter formula. As Pavitt mentioned in a brand presentation, this is a "moisturizer for people who dislike moisturizers."

      If you have very oily skin, Pavitt suggests using her Screentime SPF 30 as your primary moisturizer (it’s very creamy and hydrating) and applying Skin Jelly at night. That said, layering both during the day hasn’t caused any issues for my combination, breakout-prone skin. For two months, I've been applying Skin Jelly every morning after the Mandelic Clearing Serum—a product I continually restock, despite having access to nearly every beauty item on the market. I can already tell that this Skin Jelly moisturizer will join that list, and as much as I’d like to keep its magic a secret, I won’t rest until every beauty enthusiast I know gets to experience it themselves.
