An amazing lightweight moisturizer. Feels like my skin is drinking water. Super cute packaging. My dry-combo skin absorbs it quickly with zero shine.

I'm on at least my 8th tub of this; not because of amazing satisfaction but rather because this is the only face cream on the market that keeps my acne under control because of its gel texture....

This is so light weight that it literally feels like you're rubbing water on your face. This is indeed a great everyday moisturizer if you're oily skinned, don't think it would do much if you have...

This gel-cream is very light (almost runny) and you only need a tiny amount of it as it spreads over your face so easily without absorbing too soon. Texture is perfect for the combination skin, but...

About 4 years ago I got a sample of this used it and it didn't break me out & lasted forever. But I normally do not wear moisturizer so I did not repurchase. Fast forward - I have recently been...

I too did not enjoy this moisturizer. It was my first Shiseido product so I was excited to try it, but in all honesty it just put me off the whole line from the start. After about 2 weeks my skin...

I did not have a good experience with this at all. The only plus side is that it feels light-weight on the skin. The ingredients list is terrible -- cheap, harsh products (Butylene Glycol, SD...

Definitely would not buy this again!! Initially, this product was great in the sense that it was very lightweight and it felt nice to put it on the skin. I've been using this for about 3 months...

Not a fan of this. I have normal-combo oily skin and this does not work for me at all. It claims to be "A lightweight creamy gel that moisturizes, softens, and refines skin as it promotes a...

I got this as part of a swap. I didn't like it. First off, it's too perfume-y for my taste. The smell is too artificial and too strong. Also, I don't like the formulation of the cream. It...

I used the Pureness range a couple of years ago, and really loved it. This Gel-cream was my favorite, as it's very light, but also moisturizing. It's absorbed in no-time, and you have a perfect...
