I think the only thing I liked about this product was the pump-easy and sanitary to use. And I guess that its fragrance free. It kind of expensive for a drugstore product and to me really not worth it-I did get mine much cheaper from amazon though. The actual product feels nice when you put it on, very light and almost fluffy in texture and a little goes a long way (an entire pump will cover my face, neck, and chest). It absorbs well, but it also doesn't moisturize very much for me. My skin feels dry after. It does not work as a night moisturizer for me because it's so drying. It's okay as a day moisturizer but still, I get really dry around my mouth when I use it. And it make me break out. I suspected it did, quit using it and I clear up, tried again, and I'm breaking out again, especially on my neck. I hardly ever get neck acne but I have three big red spots right now. I guess I'm sticking with my tried and true (neutrogena combo skin and estee lauder hydrationist for day and night respectively).

I was noticing my skin looking kind of dull and dry in places. I don't like using several products so I thought a "7" in one moisturizer was a good idea. I got this on sale at Walgreens for $17. I like the pump and the packaging was OK.
Pros: Fragrance Free, contains niacinamide high on the ingredient list, not too expensive, made my skin soft
Cons: I applied at night at by morning it did not seem it had sunk in, I felt like I had a greasy mask on my face and it felt suffocating. The first few days I used this it stung in some places when I put it on, after continous use I noticed that my cheeks were irritated and I had little red fluid bumps on them which is my skin's signal that it doesn't like what I am putting on it, I also got some bad breakouts elsewhere, now I was near my period so I am not blaming it all on this, but still
Overall, this product wasn't terrible, I think its a good idea, but my cranky skin was not happy. if your skin is normal and not too breakout prone it may work wonders, like I said I did notice my skin was soft, but that was about it!

I purchased this product because I wanted to start off early warding off any signs of aging. Even though this product is fragrance free, it does have a sort of chemical sunscreen sort of smell to it (probably due to the titanium and zinc oxide in it). It is lightweight and fortuntely doesn't cause terrible breakouts like so many other moisturizers I have used. And, I do find that you have to rub this in good, or else it will leave sort of a chalky residue on top of the face.
I feel that is re-invigorating the skin on my face and with skintone evening too. However, I feel that it does nothing for helping to reduce pore size and due to its unique consistency I don't find it to be highly softening to the skin.
After I use up the bottle that I have, I don't plan to re-purchase.

After reading a few reviews, I decided to take the plunge and purchase this product. I have oily skin and my current moisturizer was just making my skin oilier. Though I can't really give this product a full review just yet, (I've only worn it once) I have to comment on how repulsive the smell is! Am I the only one who finds the smell to be absolutely gross? One of the reasons I bought this product was because of the supposed "fragrance free" characteristic, now I'll have to use it as my night moisturizer and hope it truly does work. My only desire is to find one that fits my oily skin during the day (AND smells decent.)
I have yet to find my HG daily moisturizer, I hope I find it soon. I don't know how much more I can take!

I was surprised by this product. I've heard good and bad reviews about it. Until I've tried it for more than 2 weeks, I can see that my skin has really good texture and skin tone is getting better too! I don't see that much breakout after using this. Pores are getting invisible now. Just too happy with the product. :D
Will definately repurchase, in fact, I've got it for my sister too!!
FYI, I'm 26yo Asian woman and I have combination skin, prone to hormonal acne once in awhile.

Does not absorb well. Does not moisturize well and I don't even need that much.

I've been using this product for the last month and i'm very happy with it!Its very creamy and a small amount of it is enough for the whole face. The texture is great, my face feels like silk after it absorbs it. I am trying to use it both day and night for better results. I am not sure it does the "7 wonders" as it proclaims but it sure moisturizes perfectly for me! And no breaks whatsoever. Price is great too. I think i'm sticking with it unless they change the formula!

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this moisturizer. I have been using it for about three years consistently, and while it doesn't work miracles, it is a great daily-use product. It protects my skin, it gives me a nice radiance (I guess people with oily skin don't need any more radiance, so I understand if our oilier sisters don't care for it,) and it's easy to get, which is a plus for me. It definitely does not sting my eyes at all, and I use it around my eyes. I like it.

Wanted something with SPF and really like the age-defying cream. After using this for about 3 months, have finally admitted that this is the product that is making my face so mirror-like - i.e. shiny as hell!
Too bad...didn't really notice any other of the so-called Total Effects either, like pore-refining (a myth anyway) or tone-evening.

This doesn't work for me at all. I hate it because it made my skin even more oily! After application, my t-zone gets oily so fast and I get breakout from this.
a NO for me!

I've been using this for few months and pretty happy with it. It's a good moisturizer, but I am not sure about those 7 effects it claims to do, but I am 24 and don't have wrinkles yet. I like that it's SPF, a bit greasy, but I use MAC loose powder to take the shine away. I am still in search for my perfect moisturizer, I am going to try some high end brands, so I won't be repurchasing this. But overall this is a good product.
Oh and I am not sure why the packaging is so unpopular, I liked it.

Feels sticky and unabsorbed

I'm not sure this does anything spectacular to my skin. It doesn't look like there are any noticable differences in my skin after using this for several weeks (night only). However, the price is right and the container is very hygenic. I would repurchase in a pinch. Update: haven't repurchased, b/c I noticed little bumps forming on my cheeks.

Unfortunately this never sank in. It went on smooth but left a chalky cast that never went away. This did not moisturize at all and created some flakiness.

This is great in cold weather but not in humid, hot weather. I've worn it in both and find that in hot climes it's too sticky and doesn't absorb well. It also balls up quite badly. In cold temperatures it looks wonderful on my skin - gives it a lightly made up finish and glow. Nonetheless, it has helped in reducing my slight cheek redness, and thus in evening out my skin tone. It has not reduced my fine lines, even after 2 and 1/2 years of using it, on and off. I'm prone to severe acne breakouts but this cream hasn't made them worse, thank goodness. Occasionally, however, it stings my skin for a short while after application. The stinging soon subsides. (I have sensitive skin.)Finally, the packaging needs to be transparent and also it would help if I could pull the pump apart - instead of taking to it with a sledgehammer - in order to get to the residual stuff once the pump stops working. I always recommend this cream and I'll continue to use it, however it is not the 'face saver' I thought it might be.

I have combination skin and I have been using this at night for the past six months. It's not a perfect moisturizer, but for the price I'm pretty happy. It makes my skin feel very smooth in the morning and doesn't make me feel overly greasy overnight. Until I find something better, I will continue using this.

Ugh. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this product. I've only used it for three days and I'm scared to keep using it because I'm starting to break out and I'm pretty sure its from this. I have combination skin and the consistency of this moisturizer is so heavy and greasy...I could feel a film of it left on my face after I had put it on. Maybe it will be better for the winter season or something. It also stung and burned my eyes...and I wasn't even putting it on that close to my eyes.

I used this moisturizer for about a few days and it caused my skin to breakout with little bumps on my forehead and cheeks. I have combination skin and I usually am not that sensitive to products, but this one definetly did not suit my skin.

Very "meh" product for me. Didn't give me nearly enough moisture and made my foundation ball up. Thank goodness I got it at Walgreen's so I can take it back.

I am on my 3rd bottle of this. I have very good skin and this moisturizer keeps it that way. I dont know if it helps the signs of aging, but it works well for a moisturizer and doesnt break me out. It is SOOOOO expensive to be sold at walmart though. I hate spending near $20 after tax. Sob Sob. :(
