    It didn't work for my normal dehydrated skin. I couldn't use it every evening; my skin was getting too dry and very sensitized. The cream is very light and absorbs quickly, probably would be...

    Acne prone, sensitive skin. I purchased this last Summer when my skin was going through a dehydrated phase. It's nice but didn't provide enough moisture for me which was disappointing because this...

    I used this on and off for a couple of years. It was an OK light moisturizer that didn't irritate my skin, but it wasn't moisturizing enough for my dry winter skin. I think it's quite overpriced as...

    It can be really hard to find a good moisturizer if your skin is sensitive to silicones. I started using this years ago because it was the only one I could find that was lightweight, silicone-free...

    Meh. It pills on top of my serum and other night creams don’t. It doesn’t feel very hydrating nor does it seem to do anything else.

    What an ingredient list! However, this product was not compatible for my sensitive skin type. I felt heat and tingling upon application. I prefer the Resist Intensive Repair Cream.

    I was surprised to find that this moisturizer is very very light and leaves my skin with a matte finish, wanting more moisture. It was ok when I added a second layer. Reading "barrier repair" in...
