I wasn't impressed with this moisturizer. It left my skin feeling very tight and restricted. The smell was weird too.

Great product. I like that its non greasy and comes in a squeeze tube packaging which makes it very hygenic. I dislike the weird scent, smells almost like medicine/chemicals - can't really put my nose to it.
Did I also mention this is like S$50 a tube! In Singapore, only Sephora carries it, which means I have to travel all the way to town to get my hands on it! I really wish that it could be more accessible where I live, and even better if its cheaper! Else, great product to have! Recommended.

I wanted to like this since my cleanser is Boscia, but this is crap. It smells kind of like anise or medicine. It reminds me of cheap lotion... :/ it doesn't even work for the dryness on my SO's face and she has pretty normal skin.

This is a good moisturizer for winter days.The SPF 15 is good protection for the fall and winter but for summer I would need more protection. I have oily skin, but it doesn't feel oily on my skin. I use it after I use the Boscia toner and I've had very good results. My skin has been less red and less prone to break outs.

I like the premise of this moisturizer. It's natural, has no preservatives, is not tested on animals, comes in a convenient pump tube, and contains sunscreen. However, I find this product does not live up to the description. After using one pump I feel as if my skin is drier than before I used a moisturizer. Additionally this moisturizer feels a little masky on my skin and left it with a rough texture. When I am using moisturizer, I want to feel that my skin is getting a surge of moisture and that leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. This moisturizer does none of this and so I would not recommend it.

This my favorite moisturizer to date. Its light formula and makes my skin feel hydrated and smooth. The spf15 in the product is fine for my deep/dark skin.

This white lotion is thicker than the "oil free daily hydration". i like the tube and the pump is convenient. I guess it is fragrance free but it smells awful. Luckily the smell doesn't linger once the lotion is spread out.
despite of the thickness and the brief shine, it wasn't hydrating enough for me during last winter and now in June it's starting to feel too heavy. I have had the product for 5 months and it was hardly used. couldn't find the right season for it.
out of the love for the oil free version I bought this one and thought it would be good for the colder months. But it doesn't make sense to me. It feels greasy while providing poor moisturizing. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for a winter moisturizer.

A good product. Light weight, moisturizing and with SPF. This is probably more suitable in hotter/humid climates cause of how light weight it is. It is not moisturizing enough in colder climates though. Have slight grip about the price to product ratio. A chuck of money for a small tube. Did not buy again.

This product is just okay. I can't wear makeup over it. Well this moisturizer doesn't feel heavy, it never really absorbs and will pill off even when I don't put makeup over it. It doesn't have a particular smell, and it does leave my dry skin feeling less dry.

I liked this moisturizer more than I thought I would and definitely more than the other Boscia day moisturizer (the oil-free one), but I still don't love this. It's lightweight and has a fondant texture similar to that of the amino A-G eye treatment, so it sinks in quickly. You can apply foundation shortly after applying this, and I like how it has SPF in case your foundation doesn't. I noticed it tends to make me greasier than usual and I have to blot twice a day when I wear this, so I wouldn't repurchase.

I didn't buy this product, and I got it free from Sephora skincare challenge or something like that, Therefore, I can't really judge its price. I only used it twice and it broke me out. I didn't believe it broke me out and I thought it was supposed to be good for my skin since Boscia was together with Fancl. I read the ingredient today and I found dimethicone, which I'm allergic to. I'm happy for those who like it but I just wanna warn anyone who is like me should be careful with this product.

This is an excellent daytime moisturizer. Although this product is quite expensive ($36 for 1.4 fl oz tube), I like that it is a natural product without parabens and preservatives. I love the packaging. It looks like it's in a regular tube, but there is a convenient pump that does not dispense too much product. It is lightweight, creamy and goes on with ease. On the face, it does not feel greasy at all. It seems like the texture of my skin is improving because it looks and feels much smoother and softer. I have acne-prone skin, and this moisturizer does not break me out, which is a BIG reason why I plan on repurchasing in the future. If I could pick one downfall, it would be that it only has an SPF 15, protecting against UVA/UVB rays. I would love it more if it had at least an SPF 30. Regardless, I highly recommend this product.

This product isn't necessarily perfect, but it does what it sets out to do pretty well. The moisture is lightweight but my dry skin seems to like it well enough. It absorbs very quickly and leaves a soft, slightly luminous finish. It's hardly matte, but that's not really a problem. As long as it doesn't look greasy, right? It doesn't reek of sunscreen like most moisturizers with SPF, and this moisturizer provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays, as it has Octinoxate and Avobenzone. The packaging really is what makes me love this product. Because of the pump, I don't overuse it at all, and the airless aspect of it also helps keep the product itself preserved, as Boscia doesn't use any preservatives. I'd buy it again and again, mostly on the fact that it works if you need something for daytime that you just smack on and you're not going to get excessive sun exposure.

This is an excellent but very pricey product. Lightweight. Great texture. Absorbs well. The packaging is unique - a tube pump that does not over-dispense which is good because you get very little for the price you pay.

I'm on my 3rd tube of this. It's a very good basic day time moisturizer for my dry and sensitive skin. The packaging is good although I love the old 30ml tube better. The new 40ml tube is a little bit too long for travel.

i've had good luck with boscia products. my skin is dry and sensitive so i like natural products. this is a great day moisturizer. i really like that it has spf. i notice my face is a tad oily after i apply it. it takes some time to sink in so i reccommend waiting a few minutes before you apply your makeup. i even share this with my boyfriend who has extremely dry skin.

I've already purchased this moisturizer a couple times, and yes, I like it. It's gentle, doesn't clog my pores, leave my face shiny or make my foundation oxidize. But I wish Boscia would come out with a daytime moisturizer that was a bit creamier and more emollient. Now that it's December and cold, dry and windy, one coat of Vital Daily Moisture isn't cutting it.

so far it works well for my husband. it has the spf and it stays so matte and yet moisturizing, he said that it is easier than the oil free version and yet.. no one could see that he has a lotion on his face. very well.. i wish they would use the natural sunscreen like zinc oxide instead but oh well. it stays matte. i will still repurchase until i could find someone else. will try the 100% pure brand. i love it myself.

This is a good daytime moisturizer but I probably will not repurchase. I have very dry skin but I don't mind that this is a bit sheer. Another reviewer said that this did not offer much moisturizing--I think maybe she needs a better night cream. I use an effective night cream that really hydrates my skin. So when I wake up I do not need a heavy moisturizer since I will be layering primer and foundation over it. If the cream was too heavy, the foundation wouldn't sit right on top of it.
The reason why I wouldn't purchase it again is because it is not Holy Grail status. It is good but not great. I'm still looking for a cream that is great.
