The best moisturizer for aging skin
-05.09.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive, smells great
Love, love, love this moisturizer - it's expensive but worth it. Keeps my skin moist, and makeup (Bare Minerals) stays intact all day without foundation primer. Plus it smells great, herbal and fresh, not like perfume. Be sure to warm in your hands before applying, I wasted a lot before I started doing this. My skin is bone dry in the winter (I live in Florida and used to humidity most of the year), but this kept my skin looking fresh and not wrinkled. Not for everyone, I'm sure, but if you're a woman of a certain age and nothing seems to keep your skin hydrated, try this product.

Can't Live without it!!
-04.19.13
Quick Take: is the best!
I have been using this moisturizer for years and despite its expensive price tag I can't seem to live without it. I tried, but nothing makes my face feel so smooth and soft. Plus, it has SPF in it!

Wanted to like this...
-02.24.13
So Bobby Brown makes great makeup. I really wanted to like the cream. I used it and my very sensitive skin didn't respond kindly to it. I would take a break and try again. I know that Sephora takes returns but I have used too much of this to feel right returning it. My skin cannot tolerate this formula.

Just what my face needed
-01.15.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I have dry skin and most moisturizers have not been able to last an entire day for me. BB Xtra Repair Moisturizing Balm does just the trick. My skin doesn't feel oily but rather has the dewy texture of youth it once had. My skin looks better and feels better too. My search is finally over.

It saves my dry winter skin
-12.24.12
This is probably the fifth jar I have purchased. During the dry, cold, Chicago winter my skin gets really dry and Bobbie Brown's Extra products are the most moisturizing I have found. It is pricy but it does last a long time.
The trick with this is to take a small amount and rub it between your hands to warn it and then pat it on the skin. It will sink right in if you are dry. It is great under makeup and helps give a dewy look even when I use a powder foundation.
It is not for oily skin. Don't even think about it. It is for dry to very dry.

Excellent cream
-12.21.12
This is my favorite night cream - it would be a little heavy for day use. One caution - one time I got the Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm without the SPF, and it's a totally different texture, really stiff and rubbery and hard to spread on the skin.

pretty good
-12.12.12
Quick Take: thick
I have extremely dry skin living in a very dry climate. This cream is nice and thick but I don't feel like it actually sinks in, it just sits on top. When I put it on top of another product, like a serum, it pills up as I rub it in. I'll finish my jar but I won't be buying more.

Can't live without!
-11.26.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, perfect to wear under makeup, excellent for dry skin, helps fade sun spots
I purchased this directly thru the Bobbi Brown site. It has made such a big difference in my skintone and the texture of my skin. I use this along with the serum that has faded the dark sun spots on my skin. It's a big investment no doubt but this leaves your skin looking renewed, vibrant and healthy. I have dry skin and it's a must where I live in such extreme cold and hot climates. I hope Bobbi Brown NEVER stop making this extra repair moisturizing balm.

The only moisturizer I use.
-04.17.12
Quick Take: intensive, very hydrating, anti-aging
Living in a very dry climate, this moisturizer has saved my bacon. I have had dry skin for years and have tried everything under the sun to remedy my skin. I have used the BB Hydrating Face cream before, but it wasn't enough and after long and tedious searching, I came back and started using the BB extra line. Wow how much better my skin is since using this moisturizer. My skin stays hydrated all day long. My skin dosen't get tight and itchy at the end of the day. My skin glows. My makeup applies more smoothly and evenly. It is so nice now that it is now formulated with anti-aging ingredients. They just took a fantastic product and made it better. I also use the one without SPF at night as it is heavier and more hydrating. All I can say is that this moisturizer gets used up and dosen't end up in my enormous collection of products that I hate or that don't work. I won't use any other moisturizer. This is definately not for someone who has oily skin. It is truly made for those who live in drier climates and have very dry skin. I thought I would wear this only in the winter when it is super dry, but I wear it year round. I don't apply it like a regular moisturizer. I warm it up in my fingers and then I press it into my skin. This application makes a difference. This truly is the only moisturizer I use.
