Feels nice and light although if too much put on can take a long time to soak in, makes my skin feel nice and clean although only ever used with garnier cleanser and never got much good results in acne clearing up!

After using Mary Kate formula 2, which make my acne pore skin become worse, I decided to change to this product which make my skin feel clear and oil under control. If you got very oily skin, then you may try this

This product worked fine for me: nothing miraculous but I am on my second tube because it's cheap (at least in the UK), light, easily absorbed, and I notice my skin is less oily by the afternoon than it had been. I like the fresh smell and the small tube is good for taking to the gym, although it is quite hard to get all the product out.

I didn't see any noticeable reduction in my spots, which is why it only gets three lippies - it is advertised as being good for "reducing imperfections" and my skin definitely still looks pretty imperfect!

Overall, though, this does a reasonable job at a reasonable price and I will probably buy again.

Update: this doesn't cope well in the winter when my skin is drier. I was left with dry patches on my cheeks and around my nose and using more just results in the product forming little balls on my skin. Have shifted my affections to Neutragena, which actually moisturises!

This is an ok moisturizer. The smell is ok, it goes well on the skin, it keeps the skin clear but doesn't help with my blackheads. I didn't have many pimples while I was using this product but I stopped using it because it is full of chemicals.

I used to use this a few years ago, I then diverted to the OCM and experimented with other creams, I finally came back to this 4 months ago and so glad I did, it keeps my pores clean, small and definitely controls my oily skin plus it works very well under make up (liquid foundation)

I will continue to buy this as long as its available

*HATE* this stuff. I bought it once before, and didn't love it, but had run out of my usual (nivea visage oil free mosturising lotion), and picked this up thinking maybe things had changed, because the store didn't have my usual. The smell and texture of this is weird; it sits on my skin and doesn't absorb, and worst of all, it broke me out! My skin is oily and prone to getting clogged; normally though I only have a few small spots on my chin. This stuff gave me large spots in other areas. It also made my skin feel oilier! Used it for a week then chucked it. Never. Again.

I used to use this and remembered how great it was - to my delight, my pimples were gone within three days! It was a tad bit drying, but not excessively to the point where my skin would literally flake off compared to other products I've tried. I don't care too much about the package to be brutally honest, as long as the product works according to its claims. The price was alright too.

Unfortunately for me, I now live in a place where they don't even sell it :( Seeing as I can't buy anything online either, I've even asked a few friends to help me get a few when they happened to travel. But to my dismay, the countries they were going to didn't have them! It was so disappointing, haha.

Anyway, I would highly recommend this product for those who have mild to moderate acne. However, do note that not everyone will react to it the same!

This made my skin so much drier and flakey everytime I used it. It's pretty expensive in Australia so I was hoping for it to work. I loved the smell and how it made my skin feel smooth...for about 2 minutes! Will not purchase ever again.

It is such a nightmare trying to find suitable products to use on my face. My skin is very sensitive, I have an oily t-zone, prone to breakouts on my cheeks and forehead, dry patches on my cheeks and my skin reacts to the slightest little thing.

Recently I have been trying to find a moisturiser that suits me since Garnier discontinued my favourite one (Skin Sensitive soothing moisturiser). I decided to try this one as it's sister facewash is brilliant.

Unfortunately for me, this didn't control my outbreaks and I actually think I have developed more spots after using this. It did keep my skin moisturised and felt gentles and soothing, so it was abit of a shame when I started to get more spots after using this.

I don't really know if I can recommend this as I'm not too sure who it would really suit in terms of skin types. All I will say is it's cheap enough to take a gamble on.

Overall I found this to be a very good d/s moisturizer! I went through a bad skin phase 2 yrs ago- too much stress and completely broke out! I was really struggling to find anything to help my skin and as I had decided to quit my job and go in search of pastures new I thought I should try some cheaper alternatives. I started using this along with my cleansing routine and havent looked back, really help control oiliness without making my skin feel too matte or dry. Great little find, and although now things are settled, and I am once again experimenting with other prodcuts, for a LOOOONG time nothing other than this would do! Now I have switched to Environ which has much higher concentrations of Vit A along with other vitamins, but if I had to go back and get a cheaper moisturizer again, there is no doubt in my mind it would be this one.

This moisturizer is great to use as a face primer also. I love that you can use for multiple purposes. It's a very versatile product. All it's missing is sunscreen.

I didn't like this moisturizer a lot. It seems and smells so chemical and "synthetic". I guess it moisturized my skin okay, but it left my skin red and kinda greasy. The only good thing i have to say about the product is the tube it came in. It made it very easy to control the amount of product, cause i find that many tubes give a too big amount. I wouldn't repurchase this.

My face tends to get greasy during the day (especially in the T area), but right after a shower or bath my skin gets really dry and I feel like I need a moisturizer. This one is really light and does not make my face greasy or sticky.
I does a pretty good job with keeping sebum secretion low, but I can't say anything about effects on acnee, as I don't have that problem.
All in all, I'd say it's OK, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary...I've seen better products.

I have been using this moisturizer for more than 3 months. This one is absolutely my favorite. It does not breaks me out and it makes my skin soft and smooth. Although I don't use it near my eyes because of some ingredients. And I do not recommend it to those people who have open acne...it will burn. If you just have scars, it's okay. Do not apply near your eye. It really gives my skin cooling effect. Love this.

P.S: This will last you more than a month. You just have to squeeze it out really hard. It can get difficult after a week of using. You'll feel like it's finished but it's not.

I love this! I haven't had just one spot since I'm using this! Great great product, I'm really happy with this, I've used the neutrogena spot stress control moisturizer before, which I liked as well, but somehow I live tihs one better. It feels very nice and light on my skin. I don't like thick heavy creams, so tihs is great. Will definitly repurchase.

Nice light moisturiser which is a good base for makeup. It did seem to help with blemishes - I still got some but less than when I didn't use it.

I had awful results with the cleanser, but this moisturiser is working pretty well. Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin which is quite impressive. It's easy to apply, and you don't need much, but I feel the NZ$15 price tag is a little high nonetheless. I use this in the morning underneath RoC Combination Skin SPF15 and they seem to work quite well together. It's not fantastic at getting rid of spots but in conjunction with other things it's not too bad.

Edit: Blargh, started to irritate my skin and sting.

I used this in conjunction with the Night Cream, but I liked the Night cream a lot more that the Daily Moisturizer.

I only get pimples at TOTM, but this did nothing to reduce them or even treat them. I get fairly oily skin, especially on my T-Zone and this moisturizer didn't control the oil.

On the upside, I like the pleasant smell of this. I prefer the night treatment though, and after getting no results from this moisturizer, I switched to using the night moisturizer day and night!

I bought this after experiencing good results with the night time version, but it didn't work for me. It made my skin look greasy, but then would dry it out so much that it looked flakey later on. My skin also felt tacky to touch, and it didn't allow makeup to sit nicely. Most importantly, it did not improve my mild-moderate acne in the slightest. In fact, the greasy sheen just made it look worse. I liked the refreshing scent and the texture of the moisturiser, but that's all. I doubt I will ever get through the tube, let alone by another.
