I like this gel cream. I love the gel texture that doesn’t feel heavy nor oily on the skin. As someone who lives in a hot and dry environment (Mediterranean), this gel really is a life saver in the summer months! The gel goes smothly on the face and absorbs really fast and well. I have normal to combination skin, and i never feel too oily not dry, but hydrated. As a plus, it goes smoothly under make up, either its a foundation, a concealer ou even a powder based product, like a blush.
HOWEVER, i do not rate this gel cream with five stars, as i dont feel it is hydrating enough on its own nor in the colder months, as you might feel the need to add something heavier to your routine, specially if you have dry skin. As my summer routine includes an essence and a hydrating sunscream, i feel this is enough, but keep in mind your skin type/environment and need for hydration.
Also, it does have a veeeery faint fragrance, which i dont mind (and it does smell good).
Overall, good cream for summer, with a light texture that might not be hydrating enough. It does not do much for skin concerns, as someone said here.
I like the gel cream version on better. This one has weird unpleasant smell, weird color and more lighter texture but less hydrating from me.

Just wish it could have 5% Niacinamide, everything else is perfect.

The star ingredient of this moisturizer is sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid — the gold standard for hydration in skin care. This ingredient attracts and binds water to the skin, giving a more plump appearance and hydrated feel.

Decent/Mid
Not bad for combo skin, made my skin feel quite mositurised but I still kept breaking out and did't do much for my skin concerns

One of the best
I used this gel moisturizer for about 5 years non stop and it's probably one of my favorites until this day. I have combo skin and it always worked really well for me.

Overrated moisturizer and it's expensive
I've used three tubs of this and my skin has gotten worse. The first two I noticed my skin gotten oilier than usual, but I want to trust the process like any other people. But I got a breakout on my third tub so I switched to other products and my skin has gotten so much better. This is definitely not for oily skin that needs sebum control..

A great summer time moisturizer
I liked this product. The price point for a drugstore gel moisturizer is a little too high for me. If you suffer from rosacea, or sensitive skin- stick this in the fridge before applying and you’ll feel instant relief. It is much lighter than most moisturizers, which makes it great for my oily folks. If you’re on the dryer side, stick with a traditional moisturizer.
Great mosturizer!

Great mosturizer!
Tried this out of curiosity with my mom, both of us were pleased with our results. She has normal to dry skin and I have combo skin with fungal acne. She uses this everyday as soon as she gets out of the shower; without it her skin would feel dry as a desert. In my case, I put this on after using the Cetaphil daily facial cleanser. I know this product isn't fungal acne safe but I have combo skin, so I put it on the areas of my face that instead of having fungal acne, are kind of dry (mostly my cheeks, nose and neck). This moisturizer makes my skin feel refreshed, hydrated and healthy. It definitely has fragrance, but It's nice and light. I won't give it 5 stars just because it isn't fungal acne safe:)

I want to say I love it
This moisturizer isn’t even that bad, in fact it’s the first moisturizer that made my skin feel like a baby’s bum when I first got into the skincare world. It made my skin smooth within a month or so. It’s very lightweight and looks clear when you put it on. When you apply it, you might have to protect your face because it does take a couple of minutes to absorb into your skin. Though it was formulated for dry/extremely dry skin, I bought this product even though I have oily skin because I’ve seen many dermatologists recommend it to those with dehydrated oily skin or just oily skin in general. It smells good, but since it does have fragrance I would not recommend this to those with sensitive skin. I love the way it feels on my face but I feel like it just doesn’t pair with the other skincare products I own. I only use this occasionally when my skin feels a little dehydrated. Other than that, I’d totally recommend this to those with dehydrated oily skin and extremely dry skin!
