Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This moisturizer is so light. It absorbs quickly. And the pump delivers just the perfect amount to apply to my face. It doesn't cause me to break out like most other lotions do. I live in Alaska and in the winter the air makes my skin so dry- the skin on my knuckles crack and bleed. But this delivers the perfect amount of moisture to my face. It also lasts a really long time. It last at least 3 months.

Very drying
-05.08.12
Quick Take: drying
I have truly combination skin, and this was extremely drying on my face. I had the travel size that I used for four days. I feel like this really dried out my skin, and especially around the eyes. I normally use an eye cream, but I figured it would be ok to use only this for a few days. (Apparently I was wrong.)

Great Basic Moisturizer
-04.30.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I have combination, very sensitive, fair skin and I love this moisturizer. I've been using it for 3 years and just adore it. Normally, I moisturize in the morning only but in the winter, I will put it on at night too if my skin starts to get a bit dry. Just love it and it never makes me break out.

Love this moisturizer!
-04.28.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I am in love with this moisturizer! I have combination skin and tend to have very dry spots and very oily spots which makes it extremely difficult to find moisturizer that actually works without causing break outs but, this does the trick for me! It is so light and smooth that it makes my skin feel and smell fresh. I continue to go back to it.

Best Moisturizer I've used
-04.28.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I like this moisturizer because I have oily skin and this moisturizer balances my oil production. It absorbs well and it doesn't leave my skin oily or looking oily. It also helps me keep me clear of acne.

Good Cleanser
-04.28.12
I like this cleanser because it cleans your skin without drying it out and it loosens up dead skin cells for easy removal. I find that this also helps with keeping my face clear of acne. Before using this product I had these tiny little small pimples that wouldn't go away until I started using this cleanser along with the Purley Nourishing moisturizer for combonation skin and the Active Cell renewal night serum. I also like it because it also removes make up. I cleanse twice with it, first to remove my make up and again to clease my skin and even though I use it like that it still does not dry me out. I only cleans twice with it when I wear make up and once when I don't.

Ahh! Just Right!
-04.25.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, radiance boost, smoothing, great value
I am extremely picky about my daytime facial moisturizer. I am most oily in the T-Zone, but if I use the wrong cream, I will get strange dry flaky patches on my nose and start to break out over the forehead. My last favorite was Stella McCartney's Care line, which is not in production anymore. I got a sample of this from a friend and immediately bought the full size This is wonderful and I hope they don't get rid of it, because it's the perfect balance! Not heavy feeling, absorbs quickly, smells lovely, keeps oil in check while moisturizing where it needs to. Seriously makes my skin glow and is worth 3 times as much as the price!

Actually Moisturizes & Doesn't Make Me Breakout

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
This product is the best moisturizer that I've tried and I've tried plenty of them! It's lightweight yet by far the best at moisturizing. And it doesn't clog my pores and cause breakouts. I highly recommend.

I use this product every night on my face & neck, it takes 1.5 pumps. I have combo/acne-prone skin and this has not caused breakouts. I'm pretty harsh on my skin during nightly cleansing but this product brings it back to life :)

My favorite moisturizer
-03.17.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I love this moisturizer, its not too heavy or too light. My skin seems to glow and my pores are more refined. It smells very natural. Reminds me of clay in a sense. For the price I wish you could get more, but 1 pump goes a long way.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
Love it! All moisturizers have either made my face too oily or haven't moisturized enough. This product is wonderful! It moisturizes enough to not create oil but still leaves my skin soft and bright!

This lotion was pretty moisturizing and didn't make my skin oily later in the day.
One pump is all you really need for your skin, but I found myself using a pump and a half during the winter because my skin gets a bit drier during the winter months.
The down side is, the amount of product that you get for the price. It only lasted about 3 months which had me a little disappointed. Another disappointing side is there is no SPF in this product. So you don't really get any sun protection with this. With this price, I would expect something. However, they released a new moisturizer with SPF, so I'll have to give that a try.

Very light but still moisturizing. Can't tell if it made me break out, could have been a coincidence. I'm going to keep using it regardless.
