    I've read so many reviews on how oily this product is. Untrue! Allow it to soak into your skin and the skin goes away. I have acne prone skin like no one's business! I usually skin moisturizer, but...

    Did nothing as far as moisturizing goes. My skin was not even remotely not dry when I began using this. I just wanted a light, non-greasy moisturizer. I apply this, and it feels like nothing on my...

    This product is is not good for my skin. My acne is inflamed and more noticeable after using it, and I have new areas of acne forming from this as well. I used it twice, the second time to be sure...

    I use this moisturizer nightly before bed. I have oily and blackhead-prone skin, so I needed something that simply wouldn't clog my pores. I like this one, good price and does it's job. It doesn't...

    I HATE this moisturizer. It does not adsorb, leaves my skin sticky, smells strange, and ALWAYS gets clogged in the lid. Truthfully, this product could work really well for someone, just not me. The...

    I've been searching for years for a moiturizer that didn't cause more acne and that actually moisturized my skin without creating that "oil slick" effect. I've used this under mineral foundation...
