    Meh. I wanted to like this product. The ingredients look natural (safflower oil, jojoba oil, aloe and sesame oil) and the price is right. It does a basic job as a moisturizer, but can leave a...

    Not a fan of this cream. It's good for my sensitive skin in that it doesn't break me out or leave my skin parched. But, it is not a good fit for my combination skin. I wake up looking like an...

    I have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. So basically my face hates me. This moisturizer is definetly on the heavier side of creams/moisturizers. And it was this that made me wary of even...

    Although I would not buy this again, I am still rating it a 3 because I think it would be a great facial moisturizer for the right person. It would definitely be suitable if you have normal or dry...

    I tried using this on my face and it was too heavy (my skin is increasingly oily, particularly on my cheeks and chin and especially now that it's summertime), so now I use it as my eye cream, and...

    Huge rave for this moisturizer. I wish I had found it earlier. It does the job much better than high end moisturizers that I've used in the past. I tried Solvere before this and this does the job...

    Finally I have found a good face cream for my dry skin, that still works under makeup. I'm not sure why I was so hesitant about adding jojoba oil into my skincare routine, since I hear so many good...

    First of all, I used to have acne during my teen years and for the past 3 years, my skin has changed from oily to combination skin where mostly it's just my nose that gets oily. So, the stuff I...

    I bought this moisturizer on sale at Bartell's for ~$3.50 USD (I believe normal retail is $6?), attracted by the price and the seemingly quite natural ingredients. I have very sensitive skin and...

    This comes in a jar and is very creamy and thick. I only need a small scoopful for my face and it doesn't break me out. Has a nice, light scent that isn't over the top. Does make my face a bit red...

    I've concluded after searching the entire Internet that there is no purely natural facial moisturizer except a few that unfortunately have (comedogenic) coconut oil. I guess the only option is to...

    The formula reminds me of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, but I had better luck with this. It may be because it's in a tub rather than a pump, so I apply as much as I need...
