This is one of those products that reminds me just how awesome MUA is. I'd never heard of it and I thought I'd tried every drugstore moisturizer I could find at my local walmart. I went to MUA Top Picks because I'd given up the drugstore search and surrendered to the idea that I'd have to find some high end product or another. However, I saw this product on the list and at $5 for 10 oz I didn't have much to lose (come on guys! 50 CENTS an ounce versus the typical 30-40+ DOLLARS).
Oh, My. Goodness. This stuff surpassed all of my expectations. It's super moisturizing which the drier parts of my face needs and even the oilier parts (those with oily skin know what I'm talking about when I say that their always seems to be dry skin under the oil--the oil just sits on top not necessarily moisturizing anything and it's dry beneath). AND (this is where most moisturizers are a let down) IT DOESN'T MAKE ME GREASY! It actually makes my makeup look better, not worse, throughout the day. It creates this kind of natural glow but stays pretty matte at the same time.
The one let down is the fragrance. Not that it smells bad, I just really do not like fragrances in my skin care whatsoever. That being said, however, I haven't noticed any irritation from it nor acne and I have very sensitive skin.
If you were looking for a good oily skin moisturizer but mattifying lotions are a bit too dry, then try this. (I actually mix my Murad with this but even used alone this moisturizer works on me). Or if you have dry skin I'm sure it'll still look and feel like a dream. Again, thank you MUA product reviews for bringing this into my life <3

My skin is crazy oily and clog prone, I picked this moisturizer up at Walmart based on its rave reviews on MUA and am so disappointed. The price was right, only $4 for a huge 10 oz tub, but sadly, I got what I paid for:( if you're sensitive to fragrances, you'd better skip this one because its highly scented and the first thing I noticed when I applied it. I don't mind a light scent, but this one is borderline noxious and reminded me of a flower garden. Another thing I would like to mention is its second main ingredient is Mineral Oil, a petroleum bi product which I feel uneasy putting on my acne-prone skin, as it's always broken me out in the past. Researchers are split on whether or not Mineral Oil should be classified as "comedegenic," but IMO, it's very pore clogging. I gave this product the benefit of the doubt and used it regularly for one month, what I liked about it is the light consistency/ moisturizing feel, but what gets me is that it leaves a greasy film behind that makes my skin oily in less than an hour and I attribute this product to the tiny whiteheads that appeared all over my face from continued use. I gave this product to my mom, who raves about it for her more mature skin. Def wouldn't repurchase, there are better DS moisturizers for oily skin.

Love this stuff!! Great moisturizer and I can feel that is tightens my skin. My skin has never looked better!! Can not beat the price either!!
I agree with the reviewer below. This isn't a good facial moisturizer. I thought I'd save a few bucks and try this based on reviews. I too think it's unsanitary and it left me with flesh colored bumps on my face too! I did give it a 3 because for the $, I use it as body lotion and it's pretty good for that, so at least I didn't have to toss it.

Purchased this based on the blooming reviews in mua, hated the packaging too bulky and so unsanitary, has a horrid citrussy floral powdery headache inducing scent .. Worst of all it gave me weird type of rash all over my face :( .. It was sooo itchy and inflamed .. Micro skin colored tipped bumps all over my face that when I run my handpalm over my skin it feels like I'm touching sand paper .. It took me a while to get rid of it , it may work for u but definitely not for me I won't repurchase :)

For years I have suffered with acne and am not able to use anything but grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil as a moisturizer. But now that I am 26, my skin has changed to be a bit drier rather than the oily skin I used to have. This has to be the BEST moisturizer I have ever used! I can say that I have been using it only a week but I usually breakout right away when any new product touches my face. It seeps into the skin flawlessly and leaves me with the velvety, glowy finish that I have always admired on others. I will update in two weeks. But totally go out and get this! It's dirt cheap, you have not thing to lose!
I have combination skin and it kinda clear. I find this a little bit thicker than normal, good idea for night time. Maybe next time I will use a tiny amount. dirt cheap and will last you for about 2 years. I use it everyday under my makeup. It keep everything in place and my skin is shine-free ALL DAY LONG. Amazing!!!!! Even though I still have to use powder. But it still awesome. I wont repurchase for people with acne for oily skin. And when travel, it's too big so maybe can put it in another jars. But other and that, it amazing, as I said
I have dry skin where I use my acne products, and an oily t-zone. This moisturizer is so fresh and light. It is ridiculously inexpensive. Has a nice fresh scent. Doesn't cause breakouts. Won't make you oily, hydrates dry skin. It's just perfect. Even Dr.Oz thinks so! ;)

Love, love, love this product! It's hard finding a moisturizer that helps my dry skin, yet doesn't make me oily and breakout. This is just the right stuff! Love how cheap and easy to find this stuff is! My only complaint is it's in a jar. Not exactly sanitary. I would recommend buying some wood craft sticks to dip into the jar (sanitary and you get the right amount of product). Must say I'm loving the smell as well. Find it soothing!
