    It's a really decent moisturiser, very effective but isn't a greaseball, the texture is more on the elegant side of things. Not really marketed towards my skin type (oily) and I wouldn't use it...

    Have been using this product for years. It's a great product for reasonable price. It's not greasy, it does the job of moisturizing. I will continue to use it. Have tried others, but they don't...

    My first retinol type product. Love that it helps with fine lines AND acne! I still get hormonal acne and this cream dries up the plugs and when washing my face they roll right out of my pores. I...

    Lovely moisturiser but it wasn't moisturizing enough for my dehydrated skin at the time. Purchased this because it has retinol but I found my skin still feeling 'thirsty' after applying it.

    It moisturizes well for the first couple weeks, but so does anything with petrolatum in it. After that, my pores just start to clog. The retinol didn't seem to make a difference. I'll just have to...

    I don't have super dry skin (it can get a bit dry in the winter and after a shower at night) but I've enjoyed this moisturizer. It contains a very small amount of retinol (I think 0.1%) and it...

    This is my HG night time moisturizer. It has just enough weight and hydration in the formulation to smooth dry skin without feeling greasy. It sinks in and keeps any flakiness from using tretinoin...

    Great product. Finally a Paula's Choice product that actually gives you that feeling of nurtured skin. During application and the morning after. Can I finally let go of my HG Hydra serum from Chanel?
