This has been my favorite daily moisturizer for about 5 years now. Every time I'm about to finish my tube, I tell myself that it's time to try something new, but I always end up buying the same one! I love everything about it: it smells really nice, one tube goes a long way and therefore I don't think it's pricey, and most importantly it feels great on my face skin. I have normal skin, not sensitive, not too dry, but every morning after shower I feel an urge to moisturize it and putting on this Vitamin C moisturizer feels amazing. It's quite light and gets absorbed really fast, so I can continue with my make-up right away.
I never had any skin irritation from this product, but then again, I rarely have those kind of problems... However, my sister has much more oily skin and more problematic than mine, and she uses the same moisturizer and loves it.
I think I'm not switching to another moisturizer in the nearest future.

I have combination skin prone to breakouts. I bought this product based on good reviews, and spf 30. Well, I was very disapointed. This is so, so thick, thicker than old-style sunscreens, and makes you look white too... Also I had nasty breakouts in my jaw line. So I gave it to my mother, who has normal to dry skin, to use it in the garden.

I like this moisturizer - I got it on sale in a squeeze tube for $5 or $8 (both a good deal). I have oily skin with a few pimples, and this was really nice daytime moisturizer. It's very light and soaks easily into the skin. It seems really nice too - like face lotion and fruits.
I said I'd repurchase but I'm going to try some new things before I try this. I'm not sure of the regular price of this and I just enjoy trying new things.
Good moisturizer for sure, though.

I actually feel like this makes my skin glow! I like the scent and it keeps my skin soft. I had a small breakout after i started it, but it has gone away. This has spf so it is great. I wear it under makeup

LOVE THIS IT IS SIMPLY AMAZINGGGG!! Ill make this short and sweet. Do not know what I would do without this, the thought of running out makes me shudder! Great under makeup, it brightens my face all day, and i love that it has SPF <3

UPDATE!!
I've stopped using this recently because I developed a bit of sensitivity on my skin. Unfortunatly this moisturizer was too strong for this so I put it away for my little sister :) hope she deosnt get my genes! continued >>

I wouldn't buy this again because I like change. There is a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but that doesn't apply to me, I love trying new products, there are just too many things on the market to stick with ONE that doesn't do anything amazing.

I gave this a 4 because it has sun protection, it isn't greasy, it's very moisturising, it doesn't break me out - basically it works fab. But it's no miracle for skin life changing product. You get 50ml in the bottle, I can't remember how much it costs, it's not hugely expensive but it costs over £10 but it lasts a long time. The body shop definitely did good with this product.

For reference I have combo skin that is prone to hormonal breakouts.

This product is moisturizing and is quite watery in texture, so a little goes a long way - which is hoped with such a small bottle! Even if used everyday this moisturizer lasts a long time, and has quite a nice smell to it. It doesn't leave skin feeling gunky or thick and it sinks right in. The price is quite expensive for a moisturizer though, which is what lets this down, although it is a great product.

I like this product a lot. I have been combining it with the vit. c serum and have noticed lovely changes in my skin. i bought it as a spf, but i am impressed with its moisterizing abilities as well. It makes my skin look bright, and the strong orange smell is pleasant and does not last long.

I used this in college, alternating with their Vitamin E Moisturizer. It did the job well and my skin got brighter after months of use. Cons: It can sting esp when I use treatment for my occasional pimples.

I love this stuff. I have tried many expensive moisturisers but haven't achieved the same results. Vitamin E is good for healing scars and it has made my skin look very dewy! Will definitley buy again and again and again.
