Doesnt last!
-05.13.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I LOVE this moisturizer. it hydrates and helps control oil and break outs. It is also extremely soothing to my sensitive skin. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because It is so pricey and only lasted me about a month! I just cant justify almost $80/month for a moisturizer.

blemishes left me
-01.13.13
I am so happy my blemishes are gone. My face feels like it did in my early 30's. I was having breakouts almost everyday befor I started with Hydra-pure. I combine this with the alphhodrox peals by Dr. Dennis Gross. Both have left my face glowing. well worth the money.

Disappointing
-01.11.13
I was quite disappointed in the product. It did not moisturize the skin as well as I expected, left it with redness ... Primarily as a base for my Dior BB cream it was terrible, because it was making my skin flaky

I had high hopes
-11.13.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I gave this product an "average" rating because although it didn't make my oily, bumpy, clogged skin any worse, it certainly didn't make it any better. I used it for over two weeks before I gave up - I wasn't going to hold out any longer with a product with an almost $80 price tag.

Fabulous
-11.13.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, great for acne
I have acne prone skin and have done Accutane in the past. I'm very skeptical of trying new products but I really needed a moisturizer that would not only be pro-active but soothing as well. This product is fabulous! Moisturizers well, not greasy, I see less blackheads and my cystic acne has been better since using it. I only use it at night but may just bite the bullet and use it morning too. Just wish it was cheaper.

I had great expectations from this product, but it broke me out. The texture is nice, perhaps it would go great things for people with other types of skin. As for me, I have acne-prone skin and it broke me out as soon as I started using it. I discontinued its use immediately. I hope this helped.

Not bad
-10.30.12
Quick Take: lightweight
It is quite light, which is perfect for day wear. I have been searching for a light moisturizer for my sensitive, acne-prone skin, and I think I will stick with this one for now. Although I still get the occasional breakout, my complexion seems a bit more even and clear.

meh
-10.22.12
It felt pleasant on my skin, but didn't wow me at all, and the scent is too strong for my taste.
I've used drug store moisturizers with those same qualities and they cost a fraction of the price.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This is my first review EVER, on any sites! but I just love this product so much that I need to recommend it !! I have very acne-prone skin, all kinds of pumps and blemishes on my skin. I have just used this moisturizer for a day now, and I am already seeing the result!! A lot of blemishes acutually got a lot better, and bump got smaller too!! So definitely try this product if you have problematic skin!!

So Far so Good
-08.07.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
So far I'm loving this product. I've on been using it for about a week but I immiately notice the change. My face glows now, I can actually see my face cleaner and healthier(not that I dont wash my face) but after using a store bought cleanser and applying this moisturizer my face looks amazing. I've even notice some of my bumps on my forehead slowly disappear. I'm going to look into buying more of Dr. Dennis products. LOVE IT!

The absolute best
-06.17.12
I am 64 and this is the first moisturizer I have ever used that didn't break out my skin in summer. I have rosacea and seborrhea. Although acne is not my biggest problem, clogged pores are. My pores are slowly clearing out, just as promised. It is summer now, when moisturizers are my biggest problem, as my skin over-produces sebum, but still flakes. This addresses both problems. It also stops any redness immediately and shrinks pore size. It is not super emollient, so not for those with ultra dry skin. I use it following a treatment with the anti-aging product. Gives a nice base to both liquid and powder mineral makeups. Doesn't sting or clog pores if I get it near my eyes. Seems to plumb up my wrinkles so they don't show so much, even the bad ones between my eyes. Great product!

Best moisturizer
-05.30.12
Quick Take: amazing
I absolutely love this moisturizer. As promised its very lightweight but provides plenty of moisture. I've noticed that my skin doesn't seem nearly as oily at end's day. I only wish there was SPF in it. Would highly recommend!

So light!
-04.09.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, smooth
I've only been using it for a few days, but I'm really encouraged by how light this is. I have severe combination skin - rosacea makes my cheeks super dry and at times flaky, sensitive to most products and the sun, and yet my t-zone is incredibly oily with pretty nasty breakouts. Lately my oral antibiotics just haven't been cutting it, so I've invested in some new products to see if I can reduce those monthly breakouts.
I'm giving 4 stars for now until I can see how it does over time, but I think it's promising!

Out of all the moisturizers I've used, this would be my favorite because it is very silky and easy to use by pumping it into your hands and twisting the pump to close it easily. This moisturizers helps my acne and also brightens my face!

Amazing for Combo-oily skins!
-01.14.12
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly, preventative, anti-aging
This is an amazing moisturizer for those with oily or combo skins. I've tried them all, and this is the only moisturizer that gives me amazing moisture but without the oily, sticky, greasy residue. Layers perfectly under makeup, or sans. I put on my physical sunblock afterwards and don't find it to be too heavy for my skin (so great for layering products). Makes skin look healthy without having to have that "dewy" look. Customer for life!!

Some lotions tend to make my break out more, this product definitely does not. I wouldn't say it "clears it up" like the description says, but so far so good.

The packaging is hides the amount of product
-11.12.11
I used to use this. It was not the perfect moisturizer, but it broke me out and irritated my skin less than all the others. Honestly, though, for the price, the packaging is hiding that there is only a tinyyyyy amount of product. I had to keep buying it faster than any other face product I've ever used. Then one day Sephora gave me a sample of DDF Oil Free Moisture Dew, which is not only a superior product, but also cheaper and there is even twice as much product. Try that instead

Love this moisturizer!
-10.19.11
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I use this every day as my daytime moisturizer. I have oily skin and this is not oily at all. The only negative is that it does not have any SPF in it.
