I went through two bottles of this. Its a nice lightweight cream/gel moisturizer that comes in a pump bottle which I like as its quite easy to control the amount you want to squeeze out. Its vaule for money too, not costly at all, and lasted me for quite awhile, though I have to admit I don't use it everyday, only as and when I need it. when applied on skin, it feels refreshing and light, with a lovely scent, but I find it does make the face appear quite shiny although the skin doesn't feel oily.

Nice cool green gel that refreshes the face in the summertime... I don't think you can buy them anywhere in the U.S. anymore? I purchased it overseas where it was very humid. It made my slightly oily skin feel very well balanced. Probably not strong enough for people with dry skin, but then again, dry skin is something I know nothing about. Anyways, I use about a handful of different types of moisturizers and alternate on a nightly basis (somehow, my skin doesn't look that great when I just stick with 1 brand). This version works great during times when my oily skin is suffereing from surface dehydration. Made from L'oreal, and has a storage-life indicator in the bottom of the jar, which is a good thing.

I agree with some reviews here - it is cooling, light,non-greasy and almost similar to biotherm aquasource - at a fraction of price. Although it's not a miracle cream, for a combination-oily-acne prone skin like mine, it's considerably good. The gel is absorbed easily and makes a great makeup pre-base. Definitely worth buying. LATEST UPDATE: It seems to work well under makeup and in air-conditioned office. But when i used it on its own (without makeup)and in non-air-cond environment , i noticed my pores became somewhat more visible after a while. Will update more after a few days later (this is my 3rd day of using it). CONCLUSION: Perfect daytime moisturiser (if you can forgive its non-SPF existence). Lightweight, hydrating and refreshing.

This gel- creme was perfect for me as i felt that other moisturisers didn't sink in quite so nicely, although it doesn't sink in straight away. It was refreshing and cooling, and had a light fresh smell to it, it was a nice consistency and was a cool green colour. It came in a clear modern looking tub that sits prettily on my dressing table. It would be great if it came with spf, as then it would mean not putting on another product.

I've tried the one in the tub, the tube, and both the green and pink types. I think I like this best. Smells quite nice, and it's so thin it's easy to apply. In my humid conditions, it does a good job at moisturising my combi skin without breaking it out making making me all greasy. Would be nice it they had SPF though

oh i think they changed e packaging? it now comes in a pump bottle.
(beware of the pump! it has a tendency to squirt 20cm away from wherever you want it to go. =p)
It's nice and lightweight (great for my oily skin) but it doesn't hv SPF, and e fragrance is too strong (not good for my skin too)

It has a nice smell and gellish texture, but doesn't moisturize too much. May be my skin is too dry.

This gel-like moisturizer is easily absorbed into my skin which makes the face feels quite fresh.
But the smell is quite strong, and it cause my sensitive skin to redden slightly.
Plus I hate anything that comes in a tub.

I actually bought this product at an airport store in germany, when I was on layover to egypt and i realized i didn't have any moisturizer, and I didn't know what I would find when I reached the Motherland. So I picked this up at duty free because it was somewhat cheap (about 8 euros), and I had tried the regular hydrafresh, and though it wasn't great, it was a temporary fix. This cream did the job of moisturizing relatively well. it has a nice consistency, pleasant smell and comes in a convenient and sanitary pump. However, it left my combo skin so much shinier than any other product I'd ever tried! Definitely not going bad to this.

I love this moisturizer! I've been searching for another HG ever since I have finished off my OOO oil free cream and couldn't find it anymore. This gel is so light and fresh and does not clog my pores, which I cannot say for many products. It wears so nicely under makeup, controls my oilies and sinks into my skin so easily. The smell is a little bit strong but otherwise, this is perfect!

I wanted to like this light-weight oil-free moisturizer, and was hoping that it would be something i could use daily for my 20-something yr old skin. However, it didnt work for me ... i think it could be the silicones. I only wore it once and by the afternoon, i felt like i had to go wash my face. It wasnt greasy or oily ... but it just felt tacky and i was getting the itchies =( Such a shame because it contains vitamins, minerals and other goodies for hydrating and replenishing skin. The texture is very nice; once you put it on, there's this cooling and refreshing sensation ... however i think its because of the alcohol (second ingredient!) The fragrance was a bit too strong for me; its not disgustingly overpowering like Clarins' , but still more than i'd like. I personally would not buy this again, but would recommend to those in their teens or early 20s with normal/combo/oily skin looking for a daily moisturizer.

Pretty good. Chenge to water when you apply on your face and absorbs quickly. For hydrating, just OK for my oily skin for this cheap price. I use it at the night as it maybe oily if i use in the morning although it has SPF function.

I love this product, the scent is absolutely fruity-licious and my skin feels really supple and moist after using this. The trick is to using this sparingly as too much will cause my face to be greasy. I usually use 1-2 pumps for the entire face. The packaging is excellent too, it's in a pump bottle and very hygenic. Would definitely repurchase this.

Well, I have Hydrafresh moisturisers (both the pink one for sensitive skin and the green one for normal/combo skin) and when this Aquagel lotion came out, I decided to try this as well. This is perfect for humid conditions and for people who don't have dry skin - nice and light. I have relatively dry and sensitive skin and this lotion doesn't irritate me, and I use this during the summer and on humid days in the other seasons. The dispenser type packaging is a bonus too!

Weird! It claims it is an oil-free gel however i found it's quite oily! the packaging is good, hygienic and convinient!
However i would buy the one with glass container next time instead.

This product is useless. It didn't even absorb into my skin. It only sits right on top of my skin. Although it is inexpensive, there is no reason for me to buy it again. I even think that this product may cause irritation to my skin if I use it long enough from reading the ingredients list.

i was looking for a replacement for my H2O+ Face Oasis and saw this. at 1/3 the price of face oasis i just had to give this a try. i like the packaging a lot, the pump is really cute and convienent...no dipping into the jar. however, the texture is more watery and i don't think it hydrates as well, tho it has all the minerals like face oasis. pretty good value for the money tho! give it a try if u're looking for a light, refreshing gel moisturizer.

A spin-off of L'oreal's Hydrafresh Moisturiser. It basically delivers similiar effects, except in cream-gel form and dispenser-lotion packaging. Nice, light-weight texture, is absorbed quickly and leaves skin cool and fresh.
The highlight of the product I particularly liked was the packaging; the dispenser provides a nice amount which is easier to apply than the jar version where you have to scoop the cream out with your fingers.
