Because I have combination skin, I wanted a moderate moisturizer that could go all over the face. This works great for my T-zone, but not so much for my cheeks when they are feeling really dry. In...

The best moisturizer for oily skin ever! i tried loads of moisturizers, expensive ones but this beats all. It's great for oily skin that still needs hydration and it's weightless on my skin. HG!

Yuck! way to slippery on skin. I do not like skin to have a shield sitting on top it. This felt like pure silicones. Did not enjoy this product one bit. I felt like my skin could not breathe....

I've been using this moisturizer for years now and still love it for daytime use around the eyes and over my BHA before I use my SPF tinted moisturizer. I have combination skin and this works great!
