I looked for this product after the good earlier reviews. The only place I could find this was at strawberry.net. After expecting more, I found this product to be average. Nice scent, not sticky but average amount of moisture (not enough for my dry skin) but this moisturizer left my skin a tad slick/shiny looking (which I don't like).
For a comparable price, the very best moisturizer is Cosmedicine's Private Nurse. This feeds the moisture and feels soothing and leaves my skin fresh looking and matte. It nursed back my skin when it was wind whipped w/ freezing temperature causing burns as I just had an acid peel! The red marks/scabs literally went away in 1 day after applying private nurse every 2 hours during the day. I haven't found another moisturizer that could deliver like private nurse (I have tried the heavy duty creams from: Creme de La Mer, Darphin, Jurlique, Dermadoctor, peter thomas roth, etc.).

Great moisturiser! It keeps my combination skin perfectly hydrated during winter without me breaking out. My mother has very sensitive skin and this product does not irritate it at all. It glides on smoothly without a greasy feel. On the skin it feels similar to Biotherm Aquasource, but it definitely moisturises better. Highly recommended!

A real quality moisturizer.
I have this both in the cream version in the gel version - I tend to use this one on mornings when it's full summer and my skin wants lighter formulations.
I have combo skin and I need to make sure that creams in general do not clog my pores or make me olier than usual.
This one is a great one.
I am using it now in Spring on evenings - I have suspended the 'heavy' winter treatments for now- and I have to say that I wake up refreshed, with a plumpier, hyddrated skin. No breakouts, no grease. Great! I guess this cream is Ok also for drier skins in the spring/summer season (may be too little in winter, though).
For the mornings in these warm days I am using the Hydro Urgency gel version, that I adore and I recommend for combo skins.

This is just a basic moisturiser and not a HG for me - more's the pity. HR has been removed from UK so finally tracked it down when I was in Venice, so you can tell I was keen to try it. I did not find it particularly moisturising and I did not like the texture, I prefer something creamier. I did not finish the jar. Another expensive consignment to the product graveyard!

One of the best moisturizes I've ever used. It has everything I look for in a basic moisturizer: nice creamy consistency that absorbs fast without leaving a residue, works well both as a night cream and day cream under makeup, plus it has the mildest loveliest scent. It's also gentle enough for my sensitive skin. Yes, it is expensive for a mere moisturizer, but I think it's worth it.
UPDATE: After a while my skin seemed to become more sensitized to this product, and I actually found it slightly irritating. I gave the rest to my friend who really likes it :)

Sorry to be the first one who doesn't love this product, but it really is just an ordinary moisturizer. Ok, maybe it's a bit better than an ordinary moisturizer, but with this price and packaging it doesn't live up to five lipsticks.
The pros: It moisturizes nicely without leaving sticky residues on the skin. It last for a long time
The cons: It is quite expensive and I really can't stand the unhygienic jar. All though it kept my skin moisturized, it didn't really improve my skin texture (I'm always looking for that glow).

This is the best moisturizer I've ever had! I have combination skin, but, miraculosly, it is very good on all parts of my face, and doesn't clog my pores. I still have to wait and see how it's going to work in the summer!
UPDATE: It is working just fine during hot, moisty summer. I have had only a couple outbreaks and my skin generally looks refreshed. I am getting my fourth or fifth jar and although it's pricey it last about three months

I'm very surprised with this product. Recently i wrote in a review that I didn't like HR (collagenist, prodigy, gold future...) I have used this product in the gel-cream version and I was dissapointed also. My skin is somewhat dryish and I may use hydrating masks every day and still my skin is craving for moisture. I have used so many (very) expensive products such as: La Prairie, Orlane, Sisley... They have given me good skin in order of slowing aging (almost 30 and not one wrinkle, pimple,...) Giving moisture is something that not much brands can do. I am not satisfied with ANY. I asked the SA a sample from this (eventually i got 6) and used it beneath my Sisley All day All year. You can say i use this as a serum- i use very little. My skin is TOTALLY plumped up. This has got to be one of the very best products in the world in terms of moisturization. I would never used it without the reviews from MUA. Thanks to the 9 previously reviewers. My skin has water. For it's price and it's results; this is a bargain.

The best moisturizer I have tried so far... It's great for dry sensitive skin. It is like a light balm that melts into your skin. The fresh fragrance isn't too overpowering of this product. You can choose from different formulas depending on your skin.

This must be one of the best moisturizers in the world. It makes the skin super soft and smooth and the fragrance in it is subtle and non offensive.

Great texture in the cream form. Good for my dehydrated winterized skin. I'm going to try the gel-cream for the summer. Used at night, this cream gives just enough moisture w/ absolutely no heavy residue or greasy feeling. Instant absorption & all that's left is glowing, smooth, supple skin. continued >>
