This moisturizer is lightweight and absorbs quickly but if you have extra dry skin I would opt for something creamier. This is a good moisturizer for someone w/normal-combo skin.

I have problem skin it gets dry and flaky very easily and at the same time is very acne prone I've tried dozens of moisturizers over the years and this product is the only one that has actually balanced my skin out and now I have soft supple virtually pimple free skin and using the deep cleaning foam cleanser with it my skin has never looked better and my boyfriend has noticed the difference I can get him to stop touching my face lol he says its sooo soft he can't help it absolutely amazing

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This is a moisturizer all right. If you have mildly dry skin then it will help. But in the winter this wasn't enough for me. I think it's okay but I'm not sure I would purchase it again. I do like the texture though.

Great cream
-04.11.13
I've been using this for a month now and love the feel
Wasn't sure I liked the scent at first but it quickly dissepates.
I've been using the BM seum and love it! I've always used 100% Pure caffiene cream for sun-damaged skin. I'm still evaluating.

Nice, but...
-04.10.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
As I have combo-skin (a bit more dry in the harsh winter months) I found this to be a nice moisturizer, but with an unusual "peppery ginger" scent at first. I didn't find it to be moisturizing enough for winter, but summer it will be just fine.

Bare Minerals Nourishing Moisturizer Combo Skin
-04.10.13
Quick Take: lightweight, intensive
My skin is very oily and I didn't think I needed a moisturizer until I hit middle age. I love this moisturizer. I use it along with the exfoliating "powder" cleanser and my skin looks and feels amazing.

Good until it wasn't.
-04.07.13
I used this for over 6 months and did see improved radiance to my skin. But then I became very stressed out from work and starting breaking out. I think using this made my break outs much worse than helping it. So when my face was clear, it worked well. But when it wasn't, it made it worse.

overall good product
-04.06.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
This is actually a great product. For daily use I would recommend it as long as you do not have oily prone skin. It does cause a little bit of oilyness after having it on all day but I have not had any major issues with it. It definitely helps a lot with those with dry skin it has helped me majorly throughout the winter. I like the overall feel and it goes into the skin well to.

Mediocre moisturizer
-04.03.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I'm not sure exactly what it is, but there's something about this moisturizer that feels "cheap" to me. Instead of a creamy or smooth product, it almost seems runny. Although it's not scented, there is something vaguely chemical-like in the smell. The lotion is very light when applied to my face. Contrary to the description, I found that it accomplished very little other than moisturizing the skin--no miracle experiences here.

I have tried EVERY face cream out there. Always stayed with 100% PURE COFFEE CHERRY CREAM sun damage corrective but lately it seems too thick. This bareM face cream is light, fresh clean scent and makes my skin feel so soft! TY bareM !

Good Product, Bad Packaging
-03.23.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I love this product because it doesn't irritate my sensitive, acne-prone skin. However, it's not super moisturizing, so I do add in a few drops of Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil before I apply it to my face. What I HATE about the product is the packaging - it is impossible to get the last 1/4 out of the bottle, so you're really getting very little moisturizer for your money. I wish they would sell this product in a tube, like they did with their old formula. Come to think of it, I wish they would just switch back to their old formula altogether - that was much more moisturizing.

Not bad, but not great
-03.18.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I like this moisturizer since it's fairly gentle with no synthetic fragrances or nasty chemicals. However, it's not really strong enough for my dry winter skin - my skin was still tight feeling and flaky on my brow and cheeks. Perhaps come warm weather it might be more suitable. However, I also prefer my moisturizer to have SPF, and this has none.

Nice Product
-02.27.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
I wanted to experiment with this moisturizer and compare it to less expensive brands I can buy at a drug store. It goes on smoothly after I use the matching cleanser, but I don't feel like I am getting the hydration I'm really looking for which is important for my normal/dry skin.

I have an oily T-zone with sensitive cheeks. This moisturizes my cheeks while still absorbing the oil in my T-zone.

I knew it smelled like lavender
-02.25.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive, great lavender smell
I love lavender and this moisturizer smells just like it. I will admit that I have had a break out from using it. I think that it might be too moisturizing for my skin type, but if you have really dry skin this would be great. On the plus side, it smells like a field of lavender.
