    I HAD THE SAMPLE. This is a lightweight lotion suitable for dry skin. Someone with minimal oiliness could use this and someone with combination skin could use this on dry patches. I found the...

    Perfect moisturiser for my skin, I just love it. Hydrating but not heavy or pore clogging, no silicone (which breaks me out horribly,) and it has antioxidants and cell communicating ingredients....

    My HG evening moisturizer. I have dry, sensitive skin and eczema. Most products just make the eczema angry, but this soothes it. I've gone from having flaky skin with scaly patches to supple,...

    I tried a sample of this and it caused breakouts -- might be problematic for those with sensitive skin. As others have noted, it has a thin, lightweight texture, more like a serum than a lotion.

    I do not think that this moisturizer is particularly moisturizing. It is, as noted by others, more of a serum. That being said, it is not a bad moisturizer, although I am not impressed by it. I...

    Great product. The best thing about this particular product is that it keeps my skin from being dry... and I have VERY dry skin. VERY dry. It doesn't make my skin feel like it drank it all in...

    I usually only use Paula's toners bc her moisturizers always seem to irritate and/or break my skin out (though I did like her "anti-aging clear skin hydrator" for awhile). I only got this one out...

    Update: You can get this for a little less as the PC4Men Nightime Repair, which is exactly the same, except it's not in a pump but in a tube. This is very good, though Iight weight moisturizer....

    There are benefits to this, but, for someone with dry skin like me, the usefulness of this product is limited. This moisturizer is very light and does not provide much hydration, so those with...

    This product was not moisturizing at all. It is expensive. I might recommend this to someone who needs the lightest moisture. Because it didn't really moisturize my skin, makeup did not apply...
