20 Best Face Moisturizer For Acne Prone Sensitive Skin (2023 Updated)

I caution any skincare shopper to beware of radical claims of, “This cleared up my skin in days!” or “Never buy this product! Ruined my skin!” Everyone’s skin is different, and, in my understanding, there are very, very few ingredients that produce immediate results, and most formulations are not actively comedogenic in this day and age.

That being said, this product is fantastic. No, it did not do anything magically, but for a moisturizer for acne-prone skin, I have never used a product like it. I used to swear off “luxury” skincare and only use drugstore products.

However, the amount of drugstore moisturizer I used on my skin to get even close to the same benefit is incomparable. The tube may be “smaller,” but you use WAY less and get much more out of it. It is the perfect weight for my skin- canceling out both the oily and dry zones- while protecting me from irritation from my prescription retinoid! The product may sting if you put too much on at first! But that might be your skin type not being compatible.

If you generally are not super SUPER sensitive (like I was when I FIRST tried it and was using too much), this product should be fine (especially if you give it a few chances and titrate). The ingredient list is also impeccable.

If you’re worried about how quickly it works, I can at least say it leaves a gorgeous glow after use every time!.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews for products especially where they are just meh, but this moisturiser damaged my moisture barrier and left my skin a dry and flaky mess that I am still trying to fix.

I really wanted to like this product because it contains ceramides which I believe is good for skin barrier health. I have oily skin and have always used oil-free moisturisers such as QV’s oil free moisturiser which have always been sufficiently hydrating and moisturising for my skin, and I thought that this moisturiser and the ceramides within would be amazing for my skin.

Boy was I wrong. I gave it a couple of weeks and tried it multiple times – when my skin was a bit drier, when it was nice and hydrated, and on all occasions it actually made my skin dry and flaky (see photos).

As an oily skin person, I don’t usually get flaky skin on my skin (maybe just around my nose during hayfever season), so I was SHOCKED when my skin started flaking ALL OVER MY FACE in areas that wouldn’t usually get that dry and parched.

This is the only new product that I have incorporated into my routine and I have actually cut back on my use of differin since it started giving me grief, wondering if this moisturiser just isn’t occlusive enough to prevent differin irritation like my other moisturisers do.

However, even after I stopped using differin, the moisturiser still makes my skin flake when I’m not using differin. I had been using differin regularly for a number of months when I started using this moisturiser and my skin has become pretty accustomed to differin, so it does seem like the irritation and flakiness was either caused by or exacerbated by this moisturiser, especially since my skin started improving after switching back to my usual oil-free moisturisers.

I would definitely return this if I didn’t have to pay for return shipping and purchase packaging for the return of this product. I would not recommend this to anyone.

For starters, I am a skin care addict. I also love pricey makeup but skin care always trumps my makeup purchases. If your skincare isn’t up to par, neither is your makeup in my opinion. I literally have a bathroom shelf, bathroom tub, shower and caddy, a bathroom cabinet and a closet packed with skin care.

I know, we only have one face but through trial and error I have come across a regimen that has kept my face glowing and clear at 49. And also I can’t resist trying out new products that have the skin care ingredients I know that my skin craves.

With that being said, there are VERY, VERY few empties laying around and with this product there have been four empties, and I’m waiting on my fifth tube to be shipped while squeezing out the very last remnants in the old one! This moisturizer quite plainly, just does what it’s supposed to.

I have oily, mature skin (with few wrinkles. ) Thank God for genetics and a great skin care regimen and this moisturizer is my last step before sunscreen. It has niacinamide and peptides and has never one time, ever broke me out.

I know what not to use to keep my skin clear and this is one of my top five products. No frills, just a honestly great moisturizer that doesn’t leave your face greasy or feeling heavy with product and sinks in beautifully without any product build up.

This will always, always be a repurchase for me! Thanks La Roche Posay!.

I’m not particularly wowed by this product, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I do think this moisturizer lives up to its claims – matte finish, good for oily/combo skin types. My skin used to run on the oily side until I really got into skincare.

Now my skin is more normal, though still acne prone. I’ve been using this moisturizer daily, AM PM. it does the job, but I don’t mind a more hydrated look, hell, even feeling more hydrated would be nice too – something I’m not really getting with this moisturizer.

If you like a more matte moisturizer, then this one is for you. Texture reminds me of a gel-cream, so not the sticky jelly texture like some gel moisturizers. The design of the cap also isnt the best.

one of the two attachments broke after only 2 uses. they’re too wide set apart from each other compared to other squeeze tubes that I use. Many of my products already contain the same actives – ceramides, niacinamide, etc.

That, plus not being super impressed by the hydration, I would pass on this product.

This moisturizer is really nice. It does not feel heavy or like it’s clogging your pores. I started using it while in esthetic school to help with my moderate acne. A little goes a long way, especially if your skin is a little damp beforehand.

I found that using it morning and night gave me the best results (of course following with an appropriate SPF in the AM). However, I will say that it’s not very hydrating. It spreads super well but it will leave you feeling a little tight.

That being said, it’s not mean to hydrate you so that’s not a total con. My biggest downfall for this product is that there’s no pump. As we know, acneic skin harbors a lot of bacteria that can spread like wildfire.

This packaging is not very sanitary or hygienic. (I take a clean q-tip each time and pick up the product that way). Hopefully they switch to a pump method very soon. That will also help with product usage and not overusing.

Overall, I totally recommend this to anyone and everyone with any grade of acne despite the packaging. I hope this helps someone :-).

I religiously used this product for 5 years and this will be the last time I ever use it. I’m someone with dry and oily skin, and just regular cream based moisturizer never quite hydrated my skin enough.

The original formula of this moisturizer was perfect; it worked well and felt lightweight without it getting overly oily or feeling my skin left dry. I know people had mixed opinions about the scent, but as an Asian-American, the scent was nostalgic and reminded me of those creamy juice ice bars that would come in a plastic tube from the Asian market or Ranch 99.

So, I loved, LOVED the scent. I recently was running low on this product and purchased a new one before I went on a trip because I would be out of my current one by the time I returned home. Today, I opened it since finishing my jar of the old formula and I was heartbroken and disappointed when I opened the box and saw the “new” packaging and even more disappointed by the formula.

I’m not a fan of this change, the new formula doesn’t feel or hydrate like it used to, I hate opening the lid on new formula and getting even a whiff of that “new” non-scented smell from the product.

I’m disappointed in Farmacy for whatever corners they cut to “revamp” or change this moisturizer that didn’t need ANY tweaking in the first place. And to prove how heartbroken and how much I hate this product now, this is my first ever review for anything I’ve purchased from Sephora.

I guess I’ll have to find a different brand because Farmacy isn’t going to get any more of my money because of this. I will never forgive them unless they reverse these “improvements” because they ruined one of their best products.

You should be ashamed Farmacy. Rest in peace original Daily Greens moisturizer, fly high and know that you will never be forgotten :(.

I’ve been an avid user for years. The formula was perfect and never broke out my sensitive skin. UNTIL they changed the formula. I just purchased a new package and to say the difference is huge is a massive understatement.

Whereas previously the moisturizer perfectly absorbed into my skin and truly had the oil free dewy glow you want, the new one adds this weird layer on top of your skin that just…. sits there. It’s kind of sticky like it hasn’t fully absorbed and, this sounds dramatic, but it feels like it’s clogging my pores immediately.

Like when you use a bad sunscreen, or a bad lotion in a pinch, and when you sweat you can feel that layer of sweat trying to come out but can’t and it just feels gross? Yeah. That’s how it feels almost immediately and then subsequently the rest of the day.

You’re just sitting there not sweating and your face can’t breath or dry feeling. It gets worse, especially if you do end up outside and sweating. Needless to say, my sensitive skin that I actually had under continuous control for almost two years now looks like a battle zone with all kinds of breakouts coming up even in areas I don’t usually get them, like my neck.

Y’all, I’m telling you, skip this “upgraded” product. It had to be a change for money purposes because it was NOT for the benefit of the skin when they had a previously perfect product. Just saying.

When I first started using this moisturizer a few years ago I loved it. My recent purchase of this moisturizer hasn’t been the best. I’m not sure if an ingredient has been added but I’m even more oily after I apply it.

I started having continuous breakouts all over my face (cheeks, jawline, between eyebrows & forehead) for a month. I thought it was stress and other things. I decided to eliminate this product from my skincare routine just to see if it would help.

My skin immediately started clearing up. I believe it’s a good product just not for oily, sensitive & acne prone skin. I also noticed my make-up looking terrible by the end of the day. In the morning it would be fine, during mid-day I look like a oil stick.

Today was my second day not using it under my makeup & my face is not oily at all & it still looks fresh! My pores no longer feel clogged! I still love the Farmacy brand & will continue to purchase other skincare items! I’m just praying my review will help you all come up with another moisturizer that’s a little lighter, less clogging of the pores and less fragrances and ingredients.

This is such a great idea—I’m glad there’s a refill pod for this moisturizer. It’s a little tricky to get the empty pod out of the external jar. My fingers are bendy and don’t grip well, so I tried some pliers; that was unsuccessful, so I got my mom to try it, first with her hands and then with the pliers.

The trick is to grab one edge of the empty cup with the pliers then pull up, rather than trying to squeeze both sides with the pliers. I still rated this product four stars since the moisturizer is great and once I figured out how to get the pod out it was easy going.

My experience (difficulty) might also be a bit of a fluke as well. However, it may not be so easy for people with weak hands, hypermobility, or without a tool of some sort to remove the empty pod in order to insert a new one.

About the moisturizer itself: it starts out thick, but turns to a watery consistency pretty quickly. I’ve experienced no burning/irritation with it—a miracle for my reactive, angry skin. I’ve got some acne rosacea going on and this stuff actually has my skin looking better than it has in a good while.

The ingredient list is pretty limited—zero fragrance, no essential oils that can be sensitizing—and honestly I’ve had better luck with this than the Honest Daily Calm sensitive skin moisturizer. It leaves a dewy finish on the more combo parts of my dry-combo face, and it sinks in pretty quickly to drier areas.

It works well under my Pixi H2O skin tint—no pilling, even application. I don’t apply the Hydrogel too close to my eyes, but it definitely helps with undereye/periorbital dryness and crepey-ness. It’s very cost-effective, even more so with the refill pod.

Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic, affordable moisturizing cream for people with dry skin. I *thought* I had dry combination skin (dry all over with an oily forehead), but it turns out that I have dehydrated skin, which is significantly different.

I’m also prone to acne, especially on my nose and chin. When I first tried Hydrogel Cream, I thought I’d found my HG. The initial texture is light and refreshing, but it becomes thicker and heavier as you rub it in.

It really sinks into your skin and provides a beautiful dewy finish, and I felt hydrated all day. However, it did make my forehead incredibly oily, but since I’m oily there anyway, it didn’t bother me initially.

However, after about a week, I noticed that I had developed blackheads all over my nose and around my mouth. I added a stronger exfoliant to my routine, but it wasn’t enough to clear the blackheads. I stopped using this cream altogether, and the blackheads cleared up after about two weeks.

I don’t think this cream is non-comedogenic for that reason, which is common with creams made specifically for dry skin, but is a deal-breaker for me. Verdict? Though it’s not for me, I would still recommend it if you have dry skin and aren’t prone to blackheads.

Even if you are, it might be worth a try if you already have a great exfoliating routine.

-Hydrogel Cream For reference, I am 40, have sensitive/dry skin (rosacea prone). During winter, I had been using a thicker moisturizer to combat the extra dryness winter brings me. During summer, I like to switch to a lighter formula- it’s kind of like how we pull out shorts and put away our puffy coats from winter, you should tweak your skincare the same way.

This moisturizer is IT for me! It has no scent and is extremely weightless. It goes on like a cream and then as you blend it- you feel this moisture surge as your skin is basically taking a huge gulp of water.

It is quickly absorbed into the skin and plays really well under makeup. It leaves my skin feeling softer, moisturized and truly so healthy. It has two types of hyaluronic acid (helps to plump skin and reduce wrinkles), plus squalane (reduces redness and inflammation) and squalane (hydrates and helps lock in moisture).

Talk about powerhouse ingredients!.

I haven’t reviewed anything on here yet, but this product really seems worth a review. I have an annoying combination skin that both gets dry/flaky AND oily/shiny. This moisturizers works like a charm, giving my skin hydration and controlling shine on my nose.

I have no idea how they formulate this product to achieve this monumental task, but they somehow managed to do it. I used to be able to only control the shine on my nose by putting on powder, but with this moisturizer, I don’t even need to put on any powder, and my nose still does not get excessively shiny.

I highly recommend this for anyone who is struggling with shiny skin due to oil. Also, I noticed that, in the winter, when the air is particularly dry, this moisturizer doesn’t give quite enough moisture, so now I complement it with the FAB Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration at night.

That gives my skin the extra moisture at night, and then I use this product in the morning. Together, they give my skin enough hydration in the winter while still controlling the shine. I know I sound like some sort of paid spokesperson, but this is just me being excited about a line of products that actually works for my skin.

I’m a licensed esthetician so I am very particular about my skin care!! This moisturizer is great in my opinion and is well suited for my very oily, acne prone skin. I can actually see a huge difference in the shine/oil production throughout the day! My skin feels and look less oily even when I get home at night.

I will say that you should use a hyaluronic serum with this to lock in more moisture. My only critique is that it’s not quite moisturizing enough. But again, that depends on your skin type and the season.

For the winter I will pair it with hyaluronic and using a generous amount helps too!! You can also use a thicker more hydrating moisturizer at night time if you need it and just use this in the AM. that’s what I’ve been doing and i love it.

In the summer time I’m sure it will be perfect for when my skin is even MORE sweaty and shiny. Overall great product. I even bought one for my dad for christmas because he has oily skin like mine.

My skin is extremely oily. Not just a bit shiny or oily by the end of the day, but all-over greasy all day long. After cleansing it only takes about an hour for the oil to start seeping out again. I have tried endless different types of creams, serums, masks, acids, toners and cleansers to combat the oil, and absolutely nothing has ever worked.

they seem to work for an hour, and then the oil comes back. I tried the coconut water cream from this brand in the summer and although it smelt and felt lovely, it did absolutely nothing for the oil.

I bought this one on a bit of a whim just to see how I got on. it feels delightful – lightweight, smooth, not sticky or greasy. no smell. glides over my skin and sinks in straight away. I was shocked when I dabbed my finger to my face throughout the first day of using it to find that the clean, powdery soft feeling remained for hours and hours and hours, unlike anything else I have ever used.

no shiny grease on my finger. it’s so bad I usually have to wash my hands after touching my face even a tiny bit, so I really was surprised to not have a constantly greasy face for once in my entire life.

after a few days of using this cream I can confidently say that on average it controls my oil for around 8-10 hours. it only starts to seep through quite late into the day, and that, for me, is amazing.

I hate spending a lot on cosmetics as they’re not my thing, and I’ve been trapped before by expensive products with overly-ambitious claims. This doesn’t claim to be a miracle cream but for me I believe this is probably as good as it’s going to get.

The coconut water cream didn’t feel that moisturising, but this one does. I seriously love it, and I will continue to buy it. I’m hoping this cream has put an end to the many years of searching for something that will help me out and do what I want and need it to do.

obviously everyone’s skin is different and will react uniquely but I do recommend this if your oil makes you miserable and you haven’t found anything else that works. truly wonderful, and feels like a treat to use.

So, also a part of my coveted, complimentary #springpicksvoxbox was an offering from @biossance : its Squalane + Omega Repair Cream. Now, I’ve got to say that I’ve never come across a Biossance product I didn’t adore before; truly, they usually work very well for me! So, I’m really sorry to say that I had some degree of difficulty even using this product.

Outwardly, it looks promising: nice packaging, definitely a “creamy-cream,” and it’s from Biossance. That alone would likely get me to buy it if I were out at Sephora and in the market for a new cream.

But if I did, I’d be disappointed. For me, I couldn’t get past the smell. Now, it’s advertised as unscented but I got a strong, almost-nostalgic smell of chlorine-mold-mildew-y pool deck at the local Water Park, and I think we all know what the kiddos do in the public pool at their discretion.

I don’t know if it’s the squalane or what, but the smell is so off-putting it’s borderline offensive to the olfactory receptors. A hard (yet sorrowful) pass for me; maybe it’s a wonder cream and will work for others who can get past the smell.

2 out of 5 stars for being non-comedogenic and vegan. #complimentary #SpringPicksVoxBox #biossance #texturelove #MoroccanoilBody @Influenster @biossance @mizani @moroccanoil.

I received this product free to trial and leave my own experience. This is my First bioessence product ever! I am surprised because it does meet all my skincare needs, natural, fragrance free, chemical free.

This lotion I was hesitant to try as I am with any new skincare product, but let me tell you, WOW! Did not irritate my super sensitive skin! After the first application my skin felt hydrated and plump.

It’s a nice thick texture like the other facial moisturizers is used (dream mask by youth to the people, and honey halo by farmacy) it’s great for use at night and during the day! The product is phenomenal, it also layers very well with your other products in your skincare routine! I hate products that pill or become a funky texture when layering- this did not! I love the natural scent it has as well! Scented skincare is so overrated and irritating to my skin.

I have used half the jar now and I am soo happy! The packaging is 1st class as well, the glass jar, the labeling the box it comes it is all top notch. I do wish it came with a spatula for no contamination, but I am using one I already had! This product makes me happy, and is slowly filling in fine lines and making my face more youthful.

I will def purchase this product once I run out!.

So far I really like this. I have combination dry skin- oily at my temples and along my jawline with super dry skin in my t-zone. I was using a different night cream, but I live in a place with constantly changing weather that has wreaked havoc on my skin.

I started peeling and got very dry and extremely itchy. I bought this on the recommendation from an in store employee and it offered immediate relief. I’ve used it for a few days and while a minimal amount of peel is left on my skin, my face feels much more hydrated and quite soft.

Yes, there is a little bit of a smell that I really don’t like. However, the cream doesn’t have much of an odor just sitting in the jar unless you hold it right up to your nose and it goes away within a second or two once it’s rubbed in to your skin.

It is ultra rich though, so be prepared when you apply it. For me personally, this is definitely not a cream I would want to apply in the morning under makeup. It’s way too heavy. But as a night time treatment, it’s really, really good.

A little goes a long way with this one. Take the advice from other reviewers and start with a small amount and add more later. Because I haven’t used this for long enough, I don’t know what it really will do for fine lines and wrinkles, but the significant boost in hydration is definitely enough to warrant five stars, even with the odd smell.

I am now in my late 20’s and after the birth of my second child I care about having a facial moisturizer with higher spf after developing melasma while pregnant. First off, the product felt greasy and heavy on my skin.

It did not absorb well and left my face super oily while also feeling dry at the same time. It stung and left an awful white cast. Secondly, the product says on the tube that this is to prevent sunburn only and does not prevent skin cancer or aging from the sun.

That means it is not broad spectrum and is UVB only. I was trying to prevent further melasma and did not read the product description close enough before buying. Third, the tubing has a typo that I thought was funny and am surprised got past their editing department.

Instead of saying for external use only, it says for eternal use only. I am giving this two stars because I liked the packaging and loved the pump on the tube. It didn’t have an odor which I appreciated.

I am surprised a dermatologist supported product would not be broad spectrum and contain ingredients that harms the ocean reef. I will not buy this again.

I bought this after regularly using another Cetaphil for several years and wanting to have a little sun protection. I was super hesitant to use the spf, and thought after summer I’d go back to my other Cetaphil, but this is amazing! While I thought I really liked the other product, my skin has reacted so well to this.

I love the thick consistency, and it doesn’t cause breakouts. I actually feel like this is more moisturizing than the one with HA. Two things to note however. I’ve accidentally brushed it on too close to my eyes, gotten on my eyelashes a few times and it’s ended up in my eyes and it hurts horribly.

So, don’t do that. The other thing is that I don’t find the spf super effective. Somehow I still needed to put other spf on top even though reapplying this throughout the day. I’m not super fair but did get a little burn.

I wasn’t expecting that.

I tried using this product in the summer and when I was on vacation recently. In the summer I noticed slight break outs from this product but nothing major. I put it away not thinking about it until my recent vacation.

I used it in the morning and then reapplied with my normal sunblock (that I’ve used for years without issue). I instantly began to breakout in hives. I thought it was something I have touched that caused it but I tried the next day with the routine and sadly made it worse.

This product does NOT react well with other sunblock products. I use cetaphil for other parts of my daily skin routine and I’m really disappointed by this. Like the other reviews, I also agree this product is horribly greasy and causes a white sheen (but it’s sunblock so I could live with it).

Sensitive skinned and if you plan to reapply sunblock with another product please be cautious!.

hey everyone ! so I personally have extremely oily skin and I’ve been really searching for a cleanser and moisturizer that helps me and I fr have gone through so many brands but I recently bought this moisturizer and paired it with the cleanser meant for oily skin and let me tell you , it works but too well.

I’ve never had dry skin in my life but after using this moisturizer, my skin is like the Sahara desert. It burned for a few minutes after putting it on then left my skin so dry that it felt like I was wearing a clay mask.

It works ! I didn’t have any problems with an oily face after but it had my skin so dry, it was so uncomfortable. I’ve been using it for almost a week and each time , it burns and leaves my face extremely dry so I usually add Vaseline after to help but I think I’m good off this product now.

I started using this product like 2 months ago, and it is a serious game changer. I was using the Effaclar line already, the face wash, the duo spot treatment, and sometimes the toner which dried my face out.

I would always try lotions and it would break me out even more. Then I started using this treatment. I went from having like 4 new breakouts a day down to one or none. It’s also nice because it doesn’t give you that greasy film afterwards.

I usually don’t write reviews ever, but this is one product that I would suggest to ANYONE. It helps break outs, it helps moisturize your skin, especially if you have combination skin like I do. And it leaves you feeling refreshed in the morning.

I have been feeling so much more confident in my skin and I love it. And because it’s not greasy, I can finally put lotion on in the morning. Every other lotion would make me look like I was greasy or like I was sweating, but this one absorbs right in and skin looks amazing.

The only issue I have with it, is the fact that it’s so small. It runs out really quick, and I usually hate having to spend money, but for this it’s so worth it for me.

After about 6-months of consistent use I can say with confidence that this is far and away the best facial moisturizer I have ever used. I have tried many face moisturizers over the years and have always had trouble find one I like because I can be very prone to black heads and white heads in my t-zone.

This is the only moisturizer I have ever used where that is not something I ever have to worry about. It is also SO good at its job that I do not have to use it twice a day in the winter and can even skip days in the summer making this product also very economical! I absolutely love it and it has become a stable in my routine!.

I was religiously using a very expensive moisturizer from a higher-end brand and I thought I’d never be able to replicate the results (moisturizing, blemish-fighting, non-greasy and non-irritating) with a drugstore brand moisturizer.

But the super high price tag was starting to really bug me given moisturizer is something I go through quite a bit of. I took a chance based on the recommendation of the drugstore clerk and decided to try Aveeno’s Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer (together with the cleanser).

Well. Now I’m kicking myself that I dropped all that money on such an expensive moisturizer for all those years when this does the exact same thing, perhaps even better! It’s been a few weeks and I have to say, my skin hasn’t looked this clear in years, and it’s so soft and not at all irritated.

Sometimes salicylic acid is too much for my skin but the lower concentration in this (I think 0. 5%) is just the right amount to make a difference but also to be gentle enough to handle on a daily basis.

I use this together with the Clear Complexion cleanser and I’m blown away by how this drugstore brand rivals the results I got with super expensive products. I also love the finish this moisturizer leaves – my skin feels very soft and moisturized but almost mattified.

Zero greasiness or shine in my oilier areas. I’m indepted to that drugstore clerk as she’s just saved me a ton of money going forward!.

I absolutely love this product. For one. my face is clear after years of struggling to find something that didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and clog my pores. It moisturizes without feeling greasy, absorbs into my skin quickly without feeling heavy or tacky.

Makes my skin feel and look naturally moisturized and healthy with no extra shine. This goes very well under foundation and helps prevent my foundation from clogging my pores also, although since using this product for a few months now I honestly don’t really need foundation anymore.

I recently bought the matching cleanser and I’m just blown away by even better results since using both products on a daily basis. My pores are usually larger, clog easily and I tend to break out within hours of using other products whether it be soap, makeup, moisturizer or cleanser.

Since using this product my pores are much smaller, my skin looks more plump, tight in a youthful way(I’m 36) more tone and even. I wish I had known about this sooner. My 15 year old daughter has also started using it after seeing my results and loves it too.

We use it morning, night and sometimes in-between if it’s a warmer day. I recommend this to everyone I can. It really is a miracle product.

I bought this product a month ago after finishing my normal cream as I wanted to try something new. And I won’t lie to you. the reason I bought this was because there was an offer on it and I could not resist.

I am sure you all buy new stuff to try for fun and I am an experimenter and would literally try everything. So, I used this body lotion and when I tell you the consistency was silky and smooth you better believe it.

It has helped with my eczema even which was a real shocker. It does not really have a distinct smell which is ideal for me. Also, the amount which was in the actual bottle was a good full amount for the price that I had to pay.

Furthermore, the actual lotion was not sticky at all and it left my body feeling hydrated.

Okay, i have to leave a review because 1. this has been a staple product among the rest of my usual high end skin care for YEARS but 2. I feel like it only works on certain types of skin to make a difference.

I used this all through high school and never really had acne so I couldn’t totally see the results of it. my skin is very dry and somewhat sensitive but this year once I started working out I started getting a little acne on my chin here and there and ended up using something from proactive with A LOT of retinol that ABSOLUTELY destroyed my skin barrier.

my skin on my chin was chapped, insanely dry and red and after that acne started popping up everywhere on my chin, but not like regular pimples. they were huge and dry/cyst like. I started using harsh products and oily skin face wash to get rid of it (i’ve never had experience with acne so in my mind acne=oily skin) but little did i know it was because my skin barrier was so destroyed and dried up that THAT was the reason for all my breakouts! I decided to stop with all the harsh products and start from the basics with gentle, moisturizing products again.

my skin was definitely thanking me for it but still had a small amount of acne on my chin. after applying hydrating toner and serum I would apply this product for my acne. my skin has been clearing faster than ever which shows me this product is not too drying and the perfect formula for my skin to help with my acne but also keep the skin moisturized.

my skin barrier is still a work in progress lol but this product has been a lifesaver for me. not too much or too little, but just right for the dry/sensitive skin breakouts!.

They have changed the ingredients on this moisturizer yet the websites still have its old formula. This used to be my holy grail. I broke out so bad these last two months and had no idea why-well I did some investigating and realized it was this moisturizer.

My skin is still trying to come back from the damage. Here is the new list: Aqua/​Water/​Eau, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glycerin, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Colloidal Oatmeal, Dimethicone, Squalane, Urea, Allantoin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Carbomer, Ceramide NP, Cetearyl Alcohol, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract, Citric Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate If you are sensitive to fatty alcohols like me beware because they have now added cetearyl alcohol besides the cetyl alcohol that was already there.

It is also no loner fragrance free or allergy free. I am so disappointed and angry that my skin has been ruined by this. I also feel it’s awful that they haven’t listed the new formulae yet.

NO LONGER SENSITIVE SKIN SAFE. I’ve used this for a few years now and I USED TO LOVE IT. That’s until recently when I ordered my most new bottle I noticed it had an off smell like the product had gone rancid.

Ulta. com was great and swapped it out but then the next bottle had a similar, milder smell. (I should have checked the labels here. ) I went ahead and started using it because I was totally out of moisturizer at this point even though I swatch compared with my old bottle and my old bottle had no smell to it.

A few days down the road I noticed my skin was starting to look bumpy but kind of wrote it off. Now my face is starting to break out in white heads all over my cheeks and forehead and I am not acne prone.

At this point I compared my labels side by side and see they’ve changed the ingredients and my old bottle says “fragrance free and allergy tested” where the new bottle says no ARTIFICIAL fragrance and “normal” skin.

Super disappointed. Why change a good thing. Creams for normal skin are a dime a dozen plus the smell to this is terrible. Even if I didn’t have sensitive skin it’s a total turn off.

I used to love this moisturizer. It was my absolute favorite until this most recent time I repurchased (for my birthday). It has done nothing but irritate my skin. The smell and texture are also off.

I don’t know if they reformulated it or if I got a bad batch but I finally threw it away after trying to make it work for almost two months. I’ve kept everything else the same in my skin care routine and with all my soaps and fabric softener.

I do not really have ultra sensitive skin, but my skin burns after contact with this stuff now. I have never had this reaction with a moisturizer. I have also noticed dry patches in spots of my face that I have not had before.

I will not be buying any First Aid stuff again. Such a waste of money, and I’m so sad because this used to be a holy grail product.

I really really like this facial cream! I honestly thought it wasn’t gonna be worth much mainly because my spoiled self looks at packaging before I buy or get a product and this was pretty plain. I know better then to judge a book by it’s cover but still I look for fun packaging and pretty stuff! This product may have been plain on the outside or not my typical facial cream packaging but not does it work and make your face feel amazing! I opened it and the container reminded me almost of a chest rub I’ve used for years when sick.

Once I got that out of my head I realized this stuff is it’s own little gem. I really love the feel and how it doesn’t leave my face feeling icky or sticky. With this humid heat in MO I am picky picky about what I apply before going outside since I don’t want it too feel heavy or when I’m working outside and sweat it runs into my eyes.

Not a problem for me here. If this makes sense it give a moisturizer feeling yet drys quickly not leaving a product residue. I strongly suggest this product it’s definitely a great find. Doesn’t have a strong scent and layers good under my make up.

The oil free part really made my skin happy! I really like the more gel feel vs a white cream as well cleanse easy. A little goes a long way!!.

As someone with extremely oily skin, I always have to debate about whether or not to moisturize. I know the importance of moisturizing but it’s so frustrating applying moisturizer and looking greasy within 30 minutes.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream honestly surprised me because it works very well with my skin. The consistency is very smooth and lightweight. After I applied it to my skin, it dried down to a matte finish which I LOVE.

This is the only moisturizer that actually held up throughout the day, I was noticeably less oily than I normally am. The product came at a great time because my skin had some dry patches from a new face wash and this definitely revived my skin.

While I could rave about this even longer, I do want to note a flaw. As someone else has mentioned, the 1. 7oz size is SMALL. For $32, you’re definitely going to through this quick. I love the formula but I don’t know if I’d want to go and have to repurchase it multiple times.

With that said, a little goes a long way so I’m hoping to get as much use out of it as I can. Overall, I really enjoy this moisturizer and if you’re someone who has been looking for something that won’t make you greasy, I recommend trying this out!.

I am a big skinceuticals fan and I love almost all of their products. When it comes to their products, since they have such an expansive and high quality array of products it’s more about choosing what you need based on your current skin condition.

I love this product for the spring, summer, and fall because during that time of year my skin doesn’t need as much moisture and this moisturizer provides the perfect amount of moisture. During winter I usually switch to a slightly heavier moisturizer.

For this moisturizer another added benefit I like is the slight sheer to it and this is coming from someone who loves a matter finish. There is something really illuminating about this moisturizer that I really enjoy.

Lastly, I would say it slightly and I mean very slightly helps reduce the look of large pores but that is mainly something I notice after a month of use. I highly recommend this product and will buy it again.

This is an honest review! I received a sample of this cream in the mail last spring. I loved it so much, I bought the full-sized jar from my dermatologist. I use it nightly after my retinol and serum, and I wake up every morning with dewy soft supple skin.

I have had a severe health concern the past 4 years along with going through menopause which resulted in some dramatic changes to my skin and am so grateful that I found this cream. A big plus is that it doesn’t pill up after layering my products like many other creams do.

I love its cooling effect on my skin too most likely from the natural herbs such as peppermint oil. I have tried so many different moisturizers, but this one is by far the best. I have been wanting to try the A.

G. E cream but haven’t yet because this works so well. It’s pricey, but a tiny amount goes a very long way. It’s definitely worth every penny. I hope that someday Skinceuticals will offer a larger sized jar option for its faithful customers.

I bought this in hopes of finding a good moisturizer that would keep my skin hydrated without leaving me looking and feeling greasy. And let me tell you! This did not disappoint! This stuff is incredible! It’s lightweight, hydrating and leaves an amazing glow to the skin.

I’ve always used department store moisturizers before, Estee Lauder, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, LaPraire, LaMer, just to name a few. And of course Sephora…this stuff beats them all! I loved it so much, I bought 4 jars just to make sure I didn’t run out anytime soon.

A little goes a long way, if you use more than a dime/nickel amount then you WILL feel greasy. It doesn’t take much. I’ve finally found my holy grail for daytime moisturizer. Please please Skinceuticals, don’t ever discontinue this!.

I have been using this product for several years and love it. Having a problem finding it at Target and Walmart any more. It has a very mild scent. It’s not flowery and does not smell like perfume. Not over-powering.

I am 61; and this face cream, feels extremely good to my skin. Non-greasy. Definitely protects against sun damage; and over time, I have noticed that a few of my brown spots are less noticeable, not as dark, as they were.

I love this product; and wish I could find it in Target, as that’s my “go to store” and I used to be able to purchase it there. I will have to start shopping for it online now.

I’ve been using this fantastic moisturizer for about 15yrs maybe longer. They made this one with different tints. I loved it. Kerry Washington did a commercial for it. Then they discontinued it and I started using this one.

It’s creamy. Makes my skin glow without being greasy. I love the evenness in my skin. It helped fade out pimple scaring. I was very disappointed to hear it was discontinued. Why mess up a great product? Bring it back.

I have a very blotchy complexion so I bought this product hoping it could even out the look of my skin. After having used this for 2 months, I will not buy this ever again for the following reasons: – Has a very strong perfume-type smell.

If you are sensitive to scent, do not get this this. It almost smells like I put perfume on when I use this. Why add another irritant to a face product?! – The moisturizer itself feels very thin, and not rich like you are looking for in a moisturizer.

Another reviewer said they felt this feels more like sunscreen than moisturizer and I agree. – Irritated my skin further / made it more red – Skin has become drier because this product seems to just sit on the surface and not actually penetrate my skin – Costs way too much for what it is The only pro is that the product has a nice feel on the face, but that’s about it for me.

This product has quickly become a holy grail for me. I purchased my first, and went with the Limited Edition Gratitude Size (2. 5 fl oz) and within a week, knew I needed to buy a second! The packaging is very attractive periwinkle blue accented by pretty purple flowers with a gold product scoop and scoop holder on the cap.

When you take off the cap, there is a protective reusable plastic insert with a convenient tab for ease of removal. The cream itself is also a lovely shade of light blue. The scent is very herbal and pleasant.

This moisturizer is amazing for extremely dry skin like mine. Nutrient-rich Japanese Purple Rice provides antioxidants to help protect skin and restore balance. Okinawa Algae and hyaluronic acid help skin retain water to stay moisturized and nourished while replenishing the skins barrier, and a lovely blend of botanical extracts and oils help enhance and moisturize skin while providing a beautiful, dewy glow.

I have extremely dry skin, especially in the harsh mean winters. I have been searching high and low for a good face cream that doesn’t irritate my skin but truly provides deep nourishment and moisture.

 The Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream checks all of those boxes and is also a certified clean and cruelty-free product.  I am able to use this product in the morning by applying a light layer before putting on makeup, and it helps keep my skin and makeup from forming dry patches throughout the day.

 At night, I apply a slightly thicker layer before bed, but a tiny bit goes a LONG way! The little scoop they provide allows you to pick up the perfect amount to cover face, neck, décolletage, and the back of the hands as well! The ONLY reason I have marked this four stars instead of five is because of the price: though I feel the Gratitude size is worth it, I feel that Tatcha products are over-priced in general.

Another point I would like to include is that this product is not for everyone because I know that the scents and some of the ingredients can be too harsh for some people, especially those with extremely sensitive skin.

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping Hydrating Moisturizer 25 Oz/ 75 Ml.

My skin feels so good and soft since using the Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer. I have tried different moisturizers over the past couple years with never results like this as I would have irritation as the different lines would be either too rich, have properties that would cause breakouts or even worse dry my skin out even more.

My skin has changed in the past five years from oily combination screen to dry rosacea break outs and some fine lines. I tried the cleanser from this line with the combination of this moisturizer but found the cleanser stripped moisturizer from my skin so for me it was not a good combination.

My skin was just ok but didn’t feel great and felt dry. I really loved this moisturizer though and knew there must be a cleanser that is milder but yet soothing for my acne rosacea skin that would be complimentary with this moisturizer.

I lucked out as after experimenting using CeraVe SA cleanser and the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream moisturizer found it was a winning combination. Must be the ceramides & salicylic acid in the cleanser that keeps the skin blemish free.

The Tatcha moisturizer works beautifully after I cleanse my skin as it gives the bonus moisturizing plumping properties. My husband complimented my skin and and that made me feel so good that it is noticeable.

I’m happy as my skin feels healthy and youthful again.

Tatchas Dewy Skin Moisturizer is my holy grail skincare necessity! Unlike most other moisturizers the Tatcha Dewy Skin Moisturizer seeps deep into your skin instead of just sitting on top on top of it! The product itself is so silky smooth and easy to apply! I’ve truly NEVER used a moisturizer that actually works ALL DAY LONG.

No reapplying on dry spots or flaking skin just true Dewy, Plump and Hydrated skin! I can’t live without it! The packaging is just elegant and beautiful and stays true to its roots. The product itself is also this beautiful pastel purple color.

Tatcha has truly hit the ball out of the park with this moisturizer. Actually that goes for every single one of the Dewy Skin products Tatcha has come up with! I use my moisturizer after washing with the Dewy Skin Facewash.

The prices can seem a little steep at first, well compared to other “luxury brands” Tatcha products are actually not overly priced at all! Thats besides the fact, I’m trying to tell you it is asolutly 100% without a doubt worth EVERY SINGLE LAST PENNY.

Ladies as you can tell I could talk about this Tatcha Dewy Skincare line all day long! Just try it! Tatchas website actually sells little sample packs with the moisturizer and facewash in it! Only $25 bucks I believe and they are large sample sizes! Check out there website! Let me know what you think! To me there is nothing more beautiful about a women then beautiful, hydrated, dewy skin and this moisturizer achieves exactly that!.
