Love this product as a moisturiser! It doesn't clog my pores and my skin feels so much brighter afterwards. The smell is a little off putting to some as it smells like a bathroom cleaner.....

Sorry but didn't like this and it didn't suit me. Usually scent is a positive for me but this was just too citrus. Decent formulation but I think the Vitamin E range is better for face.

At the start of this year I bought this. When you apply it it's kind of greasy but in a nice way. Your skin does feel pretty soft and moisturized, but I think it just made me slightly oily all day....

Breaks me out, and my 50 year old mom too! Horrible product! Who's going to think of us oily and sensitive skins?

I like to change it up and use a variety of SPF moisturizers, so when TBS was having another one of their sales I decided to pick this up. I didn't realize until I got home and looked at the...

I was looking to try moisturisers with high SPFs, and was attracted by the smell and the Vitamin C hype. This didn't work for me at all, even though it had a nice scent and absorbed very quickly,...

I have dry skin and it looked very dull lately. I have been using my Mac moisturizer which actually dried out my skin so much - it needed an urgent recovery. I was skeptical about Vit C...

I have combination skin prone to breakouts. I bought this product based on good reviews, and spf 30. Well, I was very disapointed. This is so, so thick, thicker than old-style sunscreens, and makes...

I like this moisturizer - I got it on sale in a squeeze tube for $5 or $8 (both a good deal). I have oily skin with a few pimples, and this was really nice daytime moisturizer. It's very light and...
