I was unimpressed with this moisturizer. Feels fairly light and smooth going on, like so many silicone-based products, but doesn't give me that feeling that my skin is just sucking up the moisture the way some do, and I actually prefer a greasier moisturizer (more like sunblock). Smells like banana cream pie, which was a deal breaker for me. I returned this one.

How can something feel so right and be so wrong?
This cream has a great feel...certainly an excellent humectant, and maybe a little "greasy" from the overuse of HA and dimethicone. But it feels great going on. It didn't jive with my foundation, but didn't stop me from liking it nonetheless.
So, why wouldn't I buy again? A plethora of toxic ingredients, including Parsol, which free-radicalizes on the skin, paraben as a preservative, and overuse of dimethicone instead of using real moisturizing ingredients.

I LOVE this stuff! Gentle, hydrating, doesn't break me out & has spf, what more could a girl ask for? It is light and I use for day time under my makeup. It probably would not be hydrating enough solo for me, especially during the winter months so I use a thicker nighttime cream, but I still think it is the greatest! continued >>

Love it. Lightweight, creamy, not greasy. I like that it has sunscreen too.

Hands down the BEST moisturizer I have ever used!!! I have pale, combination skin that is prone to dryness. With other moisturizers, I would wake up with dry skin. Apply in the morning. Halfway through the day, my face was either tight or flakey-dry. Even MB's Honey Moisturizer, which was great, was still not quite enough (although definitely better than the 'average' moisturizer). But since I've used this Hyaluronic Moisturizer, I have had ZERO problems with dry skin. A little goes a long way, it spreads very well around the face, absorbs quickly, keeps my face moisturized throughout the nite, and in the morning, the quick absorption and layer of smoothness provide the ideal base for my mineral makeup. An absolute gem in the world of mositurizers. I'll never deviate from this product as long as I can help it!

This moisturizer works very well under foundation---provides a very smooth base. It's hydrating, but not greasy, and absorbs well into my skin quickly. I don't believe the suncreen ingredients are stable so I only wear it when my outdoor exposure is minimal. I have dry/sensitive and breakout prone skin and have experienced no skin problems with this--- no redness, irritation, breakouts, or clogged pores. I've been using it for the past 9 mos. most mornings that I wear makeup and continue to like it very much. I feel it's moderately priced and have repurchased it several times. I mostly like to use it in spring/summer because although I find it very hydrating, it is sometimes not enough for really cold days for my dry skin (on those days it still works well if I add a drop of DHC olive oil over it). I didn't give it a "5" because of the lack of stable suncreen ingredients. Ingredients: deionized water, parsolmcx, octyl methoxycinnamate, propylene glycol, hyaluronicacid, dimethicone, carnation oil, paenut oil, glyceryl isostearate, polyparaben, diazolidinyl urea

The packaging is similar to kiehls, but way better than kiels since the product don't get stuck anywhere nor the cap ever break.
Hyaluronic Moisturiser SPF15:
Ingredients: deionized water, parsol MCX, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Propylene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Dimethicone, Carnation Oil, Peanut Oil, Glyceryl Isotearate, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.
It's a pale lemony, light moisturiser, consistency similar to kiehls ultra facial moisturiser. It's a more refreshing herbal scent. It makes a very nice, non-greasy winter SPF + moisturiser, i use it when i'm indoors.
(p.s. i rarely disagree with aphrael! :D but i quite like this product, it's basic but way more functional than lots of other greasy expensive sunscreen out there. I find it provides sufficient moisture for my skin even during winter months, my skin at the moment is combo dry and acne prone. This hasn't aggrevated my breakouts at all during the last few months.

Far too light for any real moisture. For something that contains hyaluronic acid (I'm a huge fan of the pure form), it doesn't do what it's supposed to. Sorely disappointed. I gave it a few tries, just didn't work. I'd rather use a separate antioxidant serum and a usual sunscreen like I do. All in one products just don't work for me.

I love this moisturizer! It's very moisturizing but doesn't feel heavy and it lasts through the day. I'm thrilled it has SPF 15 (I usually go higher but at least it's a base.)

This is a great moisuriser, with the advantage of an spf. I wasn't sure it would protect my sensitive skin in the winter, as it feels quite light - but it keeps skin soft and moisturised all day. Love it, and will buy again.

This moisturiser has a fabulous texture- it almost seems whipped. It is very light yellow and smells faintly of lemons or pear drops. Something sugary. It absorbs quickly into the skin and plumps up and makes your skin radiant. The only problem i have with it is a couple of MB products have broke me out in the past so I daren't use this daily. I agree with the previous reviewers that it makes make-up free skin look real good- but it makes a SUPER base for make-up (i use tinted moisturiser)- even better i think than Clarin's beauty flash balm. I plan to use this for special occasions only (if i can keep my hands off it!)
The ingredients are: Deionized water, Parsol, MCX, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Proplene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, dimethicone, Carnation oil, Peanut oil, Glyceryl Isostearate. Prpylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.

I have the driest skin possible (it's also very sensitive) and this moisturizer soaks in, leaving my face smooth and soft but not at all greasy.
I agree with the person from Chicago who said her skin looks better when she uses it. So does mine, and my husband has commented several times on how smooth my skin is as well. I also use MB's Enzyme Cleansing Gel and the Dermonectin Eye Cream. All fabulous!
p.s. i went through several MB products before I found the right ones for me, but once you do you'll be hooked.

One of the best moisturizers I have ever used. It is extremely moisturizing and would probably best be suited for dry skin. I love this in the winter. Really penetrates without looking and/or feeling greasy.

I received this as a sample and it is great- My skin looks better on the days I wear it-
Here in Chicago it works great against the cold winds that blow!

Nice all day moisturizer for those days when you don't use foundation.
