I purchased a jar of this on ebay because I had always wanted to try it. I actually kinda wish Olay still made it, because it's a really nice moisturizer. First the pros: It sinks in incredibly quickly, and never left me feeling dry or greasy. Actually it made my skin feel like velvet, which I never thought was even possible. And it is truly the most fragrance free product I've ever come across, which would have made it great for sensitive skin. Now for the cons. The jar is SMALL. It was only 1.7oz. So I used this up much faster than I do most moisturizers. And even though i know it would not make it as hypoallergenic as it is, I wished it had sunscreen. Is this the best moisturizer i've ever used? No, not even. But it's still pretty darn good, I would buy it again if it was still being made.

I always come back to this product when my skin hits an oily patch and starts getting ready to break out (something I have never outgrown). It is a light, neutral gel which absorbs totally, relieving tightness without leaving any residue on the skin. I use an eye cream alongside it, as I'm not sure the gel is moisturising enough for this area. Other than that, my only concern is the lack of sun protection. If they could make that felt EXACTLY like this but contained spf 15 I would never use anything else.

Really like this moisturiser. Not that easy to find of late though.

I've had a few issues with my skin recently - the odd spot or two breaking through, but since I've used this - nothing. It's a clear gel, that absorbs totally into the skin leaving a totally greasless feeling. It's not exciting, but it does the job and I really like the gel format. It is absolutely fabulous under makeup.

Took one point off because I wish it had some sort of fragrance - although being totally fragrance and colour free, my boyfriend sometimes steals this after shaving!

This hydrogel was once my HG, when i was a young girl. It really hydrates well my skin and leave no greasy at all.i don't actually know how many bottles that i have had totally used up! However, it has been discintued for long in Malaysia. Otherwise, i will definitely still using it! Highly recommanded!

This is a very simple, but great moisturizer.
It contains 12 ingredients;
Aqua, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Panthenol, Sodium Carbomer, Dimethiconol, Sodium Citrate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea.
If your skin can handle silicons, it'll be a great moisturizer. It is indeed a gel, it's not greasy and gives my skin a silky and smooth feeling. This is just enough moisture for my normal/combination skin. You only need a little, so it will last a long time.
