20 Best Winter Moisturizer For Acne Prone 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!.

This is the second product I’ve tried from Vichy through the Stellar Product Testing Panel (the first was a facial sunscreen), and I’m again pleasantly surprised at how great their skincare line is. To set the scene: I’m in my mid 30’s, with combination skin, large pores and blackheads, and I live in Arizona.

That’s an important detail, because I have a very small amount of time during the year to enjoy products as they are meant to be used, before things start melting off of my face without my control. I’ve been using this moisturizer about 5 times a week for the last couple of weeks, and have alternated between using it as part of my bedtime regiment and using as a replacement for my primer before I put makeup on.

I was pleasantly surprised that the moisturizer does not immediately make my face super greasy. The consistency of it is almost a mix between a lotion and a serum – and you don’t need a lot at all. one pump will do ya.

That’s a great thing, because the size of this bottle is really decent (also love that it’s a glass bottle with a solid pump – packaging is excellent). With every day use, it would last well into 8 or 9 months.

I have not used it twice in one day, mostly because I know my skin would start to build up a little more. I’m hoping that once daily use will be enough for my skin to get used to it and not over produce oils.

I have noticed a little bit more clarity in my skin without makeup on, and I trust that it’s helping with acne. However it is not a miracle product by showing significant results in just a couple of weeks.

I am also using this product during the wintertime, when I need moisturizer the most; I will likely stop using it when the weather starts warming up again. Overall, great smell, great packaging, great size, great consistency, great feel on the skin.

Can’t give it 5 stars unless it’s an irrefutable must-have in my medicine cabinet, and I just haven’t used it that long to determine if it’s making the cut yet!.

PCA Skin Clearskin Moisturizer is a light moisturizer with active ingredients to hydrate, calm and soothe the skin, improving the appearance of uneven skin tone due to breakouts. Key Ingredients: – Niacinamide overall skin improvements including the fading of dark spots and smoothing of skin texture – Borage Seed Oil is rich with fatty acids to reduce redness associated with irritated skin – Cucumber Extract purifies and soothes your skin’s texture – Bisabolol derived from chamomile, this ingredient calms the skin while attracting and retaining moisture – Vitamin A promotes a clear complexion and an even skin tone This has a creamy, gel-like texture with no fragrance.

Lightweight on the skin and it absorbs quickly. I love that it doesn’t leave behind a sticky or oily residue once it’s absorbed. It’s a gentle moisturizer that hasn’t caused any irritation or clogged my pores.

This moisturizer hydrates and moisturizes well, especially for the warmer months, but don’t find it to be enough for my combination skin in the colder months. It controls excess sebum and shine throughout the day and has helped clear my holiday stressed skin.

The best thing about this moisturizer is that it noticeably reduces redness. I would recommend this to anyone with oily, acne prone, sensitive and combination skin. PROS: ✅ Caused no irritation or clogged pores ✅ Absorbs quickly ✅ Gentle and Lightweight ✅ Doesn’t leave skin feeling oily ✅ Hydrates and Moisturizes skin well ✅ Reduces redness and dark spots ✅ Helps control shine throughout the day ✅ Keeps stressed skin clear and keeps breakouts at bay CONS: ❌ Not moisturizing enough during winter months.

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 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 moisturizer is great year round if you have normal to combination skin. maybe even oily skin. However if you have pretty dry skin like I do, this moisturizer only suffices during the summertime or if you need a light hydrating layer under heavy makeup.

There is a bit of a sour odour (not going to say scent as that might lead people to think it’s scented or fragranced which it is not) when you first apply to the skin. I found this went away after application… but if you are sensitive to odours this moisturizer isn’t for you.

As far as ingredients go, I wouldn’t exactly say this is the best skin barrier maintenance moisturizer…. it’s got Maracujá (or Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil) half way through the ingredient list which has been known to support healing of weakened and damaged skin, but lacks ceramides which is an ingredient I prefer in skin barrier protection/maintenance skincare.

I like that it includes Niacinamide but so do 80% of the products on my skincare shelf so it’s not a super revolutionary ingredient though I appreciate that Hyram keeps the percentages within the studied amounts as higher percentages of Niacinamide can be irritating to some skin types.

This ingredient does have some benefits towards the skin barrier by improving texture and controlling sebum (oil) production within the outer surface of skin, and residual hyperpigmentation from acne scars.

If you have super oily acne prone skin, this moisturizer would be your best friend as it’s light enough that your pores can still breathe (hopefully producing less sebum) with the Niacinamide to aid in lessening that oil production and hyperpigmentation from acne scars while the Maracujá may help heal the blemishes already on your skin.

If you have dry skin, I recommend this under sun care and makeup during the warmer months of the year and to find something more hydrating during the winter. And if you have damaged skin and are looking for skin barrier repair, I’d recommend something with Ceramides as well as Niacinamide.

All in all, I think there’s better moisturizers out there for this purpose and I would only justify the $34 / tube price tag during the summer with the intended purpose of needing a lightweight moisturizer or if you are super oily… as personally a single tube would last me 3 months during the summer.

my skin tends to be more normal during this time.

It’s meh. If you use too much, you end up with a film on the skin, and it’s so lightweight, that at night I feel like I’m looking for more moisture, and it’s so thin that I often use it before my moisturizing toner has fully dried down just so that I can put it all over my face without using too much of it.

It’s definitely not beginner user friendly, it’s manageable, and it doesn’t do anything horrible to the skin. I just really dislike the filmy feeling with too much, the difficulty on using the correct amount and still covering my face without having to fill me feeling, and just the general moisturization is not that impressive.

I’ve never really felt like I needed a nighttime cream except for when it comes to this moisturizer, I definitely leave something wanting for the skin. If you have very sensitive skin, you may like this, I know the creator worked really hard to make sure that the ingredients and the formula were good and safe and nice.

But it’s just not worth the time or money, I’m not going to throw it away, I’m going to use it up. Bye will never buy this again, and I wish I hadn’t bought it.

First of all how bad can you rate a product that helps the world around it? Honestly. I cannot explain how much I love this product and how much I wish I could buy more of it. I remember reading reviews saying that if you have dry skin then you should consider looking somewhere else, and let me tell you that is bull! I have combination skin, but I do often get flare-ups of eczema on my face.

Never in my life have I had a product that was able to keep my skin moisturized and not oily at the same time. I felt that I had to sacrifice one thing for another and that is just NOT true. Life-changing, honestly.

Working to buy the whole collection soon haha, a college student has to take their products once at a time. However, I definitely know that I will be buying them all from Selfless by Hyram. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for changing how I feel about my skin.

My routine for reference after washing: Morning: Niacinamide & Maracujá Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer, Sunscreen Bliss Block Star spf30 Night: Inkey List Niacinamide 10%, Retinol every other day, Niacinamide & Maracujá Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer.

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.

I have tried many many moisturizers over the years and this is definitely in my top five! First of all I was skeptical when I first got it because when you squeeze it out it looks like lotion, and I was like heck nah I ain’t putting lotion on my face so I did a spot test on my hand before I did a spot test on my cheek (plz always do spot tests, you never know how your skin is going to react to a new product) GIRL it doesn’t look like it would glide on thick but it’s THICC, with two Cs.

A little goes a longggg way, you can feel the hydration after one use. and if you don’t want a thicc moisturizer, don’t buy this but if you do it’s perfect for you! I use it as my night skin care routine moisturizer and when I wake up in the morning my face is soooooo soft! I love this moisturizer so much I bought the cleanser and toner that goes with this, this trio combination is *chefs kiss* Try it you won’t regret it! For reference I am a 25 year old female with combination skin.

I am obsessed with this moisturizer. I work in the skincare world so I’ve bought and been gifted and tried a million moisturizers and this has quickly become my go to. It’s the perfect every day moisturizer, not too thin but not too thick either.

Feels so smooth and hydrating going on, never leaves me feeling greasy or oily. I just stared to use a stronger prescription retinoid (tretinon) and this moisturizer layers on top of it perfectly, keeps my skin from being too dry or flaky, and is great day or night.

I’ve also made my fiance, mom, and coworker all start using it, which speaks volumes! I use this + the exfoliating jelly cleanser almost every day and I love them both.

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.

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.

This face moisturizer is great! It doesn’t leave oily residue. I apply it in the morning after my sunscreen and at night after my serum treatment. It leaves a thin layer that serves as a non comedogenic primer and it has the very nice smell as all other La Roche products.

If you’re worried about it being too little for such an expensive price, your really only need two drops of the moisturizer to cover the entire face, which is also true for most La Roche products, so they last a long time.

The only thing I have against this product is that it says it’s mattifying but it leaves no matte color.

This cleanser was recommended to me by a dermatologist. I was scared at first to try it because of the reviews that claim that it is too drying so i started to use it only in the evening. I have combination skin with large pores and a lot of texture.

Neutrogena does a very good job cleaning the pores and refining the texture. After one bottle i felt that the little bumps were all gone. The trick with this washer is to use a good moisturizer after it.

When my skin was still dump i used the neutrogena hydro boost gel cream and on top of that a thicker moisturizer ( in my case the weleda skin food light). After the fist bottle i did not buy another one to let my skin a little break, but the texture came back like before.

I started my second bottle and my skin never looked better.

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 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!.

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.
