    I like it in a serum more (better for layering under a moisturizer, which this one still requires), but this form has a really nice texture - it feels cooling, an interesting mix between a cream...

    Sadly, and unlike Aveeno Calm and Restore Gel Cream, this broke me out in cystic spots during the patch testing process. Oily, acne-prone gal here, but with generally clear skin.

    It seems this was reformulated and a new name given: Water cream instead of gel. Still I had to write this even if not an exact match. It's one of the best moisturizers I've ever used, if not...

    I love this a lot. It's smooth and light. It didn't break out at all. Especially, it's not greasy at all. It absorbs quickly. I have the travel size as well. It's good for in-flight use.

    I don't get the rave reviews! The worst gel cream I have ever used. It stings really bad and it balls up under sunscreen and makeup. Such waste of money. I will use it up on my hands and never...

    There were positive reviews when this product came out. I fell for the hype. Here's what's wrong with it: a) it spilled out onto the counter when I opened it, because it's a liquid in a jar. It...

    I do not recommend this product at all. The second ingredient in this moisturiser is Dimethicone which basically forms a layer over your skin and traps bacteria and sebum under the surface causing...

    I love this product! I live in a dry climate and need some extra moisture during the winter. I find using this under my moisturizer gives my extra hydration. I would definitely recommend this!

    Bought a few on sale to try out. Watery and non-greasy. Skin is ok and hydrated. Heard from my friend that it broke her out, may want to avoid in sensitive skin.
