    EDIT: 8/22/07 i found out today that this has been discontinued. i don't know if they're re-formulating. what a shame..i really did like this moisturizer...
    i bought this face moisturizer over a year ago. i use it everyday especially before i use my bare minerals. it's the ONLY moisturizer that i found that helps my BM last longer. i do use the bareVitamins under wisdom. (bareVitamins is NOT a moisturizer it's a toner). wisdom, over bareVitamins stings a little, and the most unsual thing is that it doesn't alwasy sting, and sometimes without bareVitamins underneath it'll still sting. i believe it's the SPF that's causing it. i don't mind it bc it doesn't cause redness or anything of that nature and the sensation doesn't last a long time.

    it's light in texture yet get's the job done AND has an SPF 15. it also has vitamins and things like that. i never really cared for that stuff. i usually only ask for a light moisturization with SPF but all the extra stuff is fine by me.

    now that BE has prime time, i also use that as well. but now i alternate between bareVitamins and wisdom and wisdom and prime time. as i mentioned before, i use it everyday! continued >>

    The only reason I think I'm the first to review this is that Bare Escentuals only seems to sell this in their boutiques- not online and not in stores like Sephora or Ulta which I don't understand. You can call and order this from their stores. This is a FANTASTIC moisturizer with SPF 15, glycolic acid, vitamins A, C & E. It is not MD Formulations which they also carry in their stores but is in an i.d. white pump bottle. I finally understand when people talk about products giving them a glow. It's a thin moisturizing lotion that works well under makeup, but more importantly helps clear up my highly acne-prone skin and lessens the appearance of blackheads and large pores. I know, sounds too good to be true but I really can't say enough about this. My only complaint is that it's not quite enough moisture for my aging skin during the VERY dry winter months. Despite that I've ended up coming back to this because over the past two months I've tried other moisturizers including Avalon Vitamin C, Exuviance Restorative Complex, Dermalogica Smoothing Cream, among others and they all broke out my skin. After 3 days using it I wonder why I experimented because I'm clearing up again and my blackheads are loosening. Unfortunately where I live there are no boutiques but I always pick up 2-3 bottles when I travel to Atlanta or San Francisco and that lasts me until my next trip. I hope they make an effort at marketing this better. continued >>
