I think I own the spf 25 or 30 one. I like this moisturizer. My face feels very soft. I think this is good for someone who is normal to dry. I am not sure about combination to oily just because it...

This is a good sunscreen/moisturiser for dry skin - it's very hydrating and works well under makeup (if you're not wearing makeup, you might find it a bit too shiny). I have very sensitive skin and...

This did absolutely nothing for me, it is too light and didn't hydrate my dry skin at all. Will not be repurchasing.

I found this to be very heavy on the skin. Granted, it is supposed to be for very dry skin, but also for normal skin. It just felt like putting on a winter coat during early autumn. I also felt...

If this is meant to be the richest cream in her line for very dry skins...then Lord help us. I don't like it all that much. Kept my face hydrated and glowy for 2 hours or so. And then my face...
