Not for me
-08.21.12
Quick Take: intensive
In spite of the fact I have oily skin, I like to use a moisturizer after using strong cleansers. This stuff claims to be non-greasy, but it felt like I had spread a jar of mayo on my face. It is moisturizing, but I'm not a fan.

Ok

it's an okay moisturizer. I don't like the scent. It is not radiance booster as to what the description of the product says.

Very fragrant.
-08.10.12
Extremely strong scent. Absorbs well and feels great texture wise. Was not moisturizing enough for me however, as I usually reach for another moisturizer an hour or so after application.

Great moisturizer
-07.29.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, shimmery
I originally purchased this cause I needed a hand cream, but I wasn't willing to purchase any other lotions since I needed something small and quick... but I really liked this one! It has slight shimmer so I think it would work nicely in warmer settings (spring/summer)... might be a bit awkward with it's shimmer to use in the winter. 4 stars only because I thought that it was a little pricey for the small size.

will not buy again!
-07.28.12
I have a combination type skin. Usually most of the moisturizer that I purchase works good on me. But this one failed me so much. It's not moisturizing. I do not like the smell. Its too strong! It may work to others but not on me.

Quick Take: lightweight
I was on the market for a new moisturizer and found this convenient travel-size one!I really like how this moisturizer is very rich and how it spreads nicely on your skin. Makes your skin feel replenished at the end of a long day.

Holy Grail Moisturizer!
-07.12.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, smells great, non irritating
I bought the small size to check it out first, I have relatively sensitive skin so I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to irritate me before I spent 30 bucks on the full size, I was amazed at how little I needed to use, and how soft my skin was after only a day of using it. I recommend this one for travel or for a first try out, but if you love it as much as I do, get the full size.

its ok

Quick Take: very moisturizing, smooth
I bought this for the price. It goes on smooth and feels good but it has a lot of moisture in it. I think this product should be for people with more dry skin then combination dry.

Great For Humid Climates
-07.10.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I bought this because it was a small enough size to take through TSA at the airport and I'm always afraid of my luggage being lost! However, I was really surprised at how much I liked it! It is great for humid climates...did not make me oily or greasy moist. I don't know if this would be a great moisturizer for dry skin though. I also don't think it is a great night-time moisturizer, but this will henceforth by me daily moisturizer! (Just be sure your make-up has an SPF!)

Best for normal skin
-07.05.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This is a good basic moisturizer. It's not hydrating enough for dry skin unless you apply several layers so I wouldn't recommend this for anyone other than normal skin. It works well for my husband, who needed a moisturizer but was put off by anything too creamy or fragrant. For him, it's a pretty good value but I would go through it in about a week, making it more expensive per use than most higher quality creams.

Quick Take: decadent, creamy, hydrating
Bought this while on vacation because I hadn't packed the moisturizer I thought I had. What a pleasant surprise! Rich, creamy, absorbing quickly. And also didn't make me breakout, which is always a plus. I'd definitely buy a bigger amount when this runs out.

Disappointed
-06.29.12
I think this moisturizer is WAY too overpriced for what you get. It is a thin moisturizer and it does not seem to do its job. Plus, I think it is a bit too fragrant. I would not purchase this again.

Finally Balanced
-06.18.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
My skin has been on a rampage for the last 6 months!
I got home and saw that my Beauty Advisor slipped this in as part of my Insider Rewards/promo. I tried it out and went back for the full size bottle. Not only is this moisturizer a great value, it has decreased congestion in my skin and overall, my skin is more balanced.
I love that it is sulphate free!
Wish it was linalool free and had an SPF :)

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
I bought this as a cheap quick fix while I was on vacation in Orlando because my skin was just becoming so dry due to sun exposure. My light lotion just wasn't cutting it, so I saw this and thought I'd give it a try and I LOVE it! I'm partial to any kind of scented products because I have sensitive skin but this one was great and I instantly felt a difference in my moisture levels. I found that the moisture lasted as well, I only needed to use it in the night to repair my skins dryness. I would definitely buy this again, the price is right and the product is true to it's word! :)
