    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.

    I have used this off and on with PC Retinol 1%. It is a fine moisturizer, lightweight and easily absorbed. Overall, I am not in love with this product. It honestly doesn't seem any better...

    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...
