Im really loving this oil free moisturizer. I love the fact that its unscented and that it has no sunscreen. I can be sensitive to fragrance and im allergic to chemical sunscreen. Not having a sunscreen in the moisturizer allows me to wear this day and night. This moisturizer is the perfect balance for me. I have combination skin, oily t zone with dehydrated cheeks. If something is too light as far as moisturization, my face feels tight minutes after application, and if its too heavy it breaks me out. After trying about 10 different moisturizers..( I know...I have super picky skin) this is the one for me.I hope that this doesnt break me out ive been using it for about 2 weeks and no problems its leaves my face feeling refreshed. and moisturized. THis is $37.50 for 2 oz. which is decent ive paid more than this for 1.7 oz, and compared to the md skincare(dr. dennis gross) which is $75.00 for 1oz which i also tried, this is a bargain. I also like that this has a pump which doesnt dispense too much the glass bottle is heavy and may be difficult to travel with but i dont care. i lvoe this moisturizer!!!

My holy grail basic moisturizer. I have used this for 6 years now. It was great when my skin was more combo (oil-free) and as my skin got dryer just using a little more worked great. No scent, a great feature for me, I usually hate scented facial care products. Soaks right in, can be used around the eyes and leaves my skin moisturized but not greasy. Every once in awhile I stray from this because something else looks more fun, I always come right back and should really learn my lesson :)

I have a horrible time finding products that don't make my oily, 55 year old skin break out, so I got a sample of this from Sephora because of all the stellar reviews on this website. Unfortunately, one use left me with a major oil slick, clogged pores and two serious blemishes. A very nice product, just not for me.

I have been using this moisturizer for a few weeks now. I tried a sample first to make sure it wouldn't break me out and so far so good. It's a nice lighter consistency, but it gets the moisturizing job done very well. I've been on topical acne meds lately and my skin has a been a little crazy, but this stuff relieves the dryness and soothes my skin. I use it in the morning and under my mu. It's expensive, IMO, and the packaging isn't wonderful, but I promise it's worth every penny. It contains no oil and no fragrance, so it's nice for even the most sensitive of skins. I highly rec this product!!!

I tried this product based on MUA reviews when my face freaked out on a recent trip to Chicago and have been very pleasantly surprised. It seems to cause no congestion to my oily, blackhead prone skin - small miracle in my book. It's practically odorless and goes on well under my foundation. My only complaint is that it doesn't have any SPF. Of course if it did it would probably make my face break out. I'm tempted to try the Zia & Proactiv oil free but I hate to screw up a good thing!

I recently started using this moisturizer and it is simply wonderful. Initially I balked at the price (approx $37) but it is worth it and you only need to use a very small amount daily. It is oil and fragrance free and does not cause breakouts on my oily acne prone skin. It is a light lotion that applys and absorbs into your skin quickly. It does not create any shine when applied to my skin. I use LORAC Aquaprime over this and then apply my foundation. My makeup looks better and last longer in the blazing Florida heat than it has in years.

This is a great moisturizer for my oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. I've been using this for about a month now, and I've seen a huge improvement in my skin texture. This has also helped to soothe my irritated skin from frequent retin-a micro use. I will definitely repurchase!

Love it! It absorbs right away and doesn't leave feeling sticky. I have oily skin and was looking for a moisturizer for long long time. I will probably stick with this one unless I get really dry. No lovely flowery smell so I feel clean after I put it on. Best on clean skin if you have oily skin.

I was loving Benefit's Do It Daily, but after it started interacting with my foundation, I had to try something new--as usual, the MUA ladies pointed me in the right direction...This moisturizer is great--I don't need a lot to feel like my skin is moisturized, it's not oily, and it helps my makeup glide on. The only thing I don't love about this moisturizer is that it has no SPF...that's why I knocked a lippy off. If Lorac can find a way to keep the quality and add an SPF (At least 12 or 15, come on now people!), I'd be buying this like there was no tomorrow. Aw, who am I kidding? I'm repurchasing this one even without the SPF...but I'd love some protection in this!

My HG moisturizer! Unlike Jing Jang Creme, this moisturizer is oil-free and does not leave a greasy oily look to my face, but rather leaves me looking glowing and radiant. Not only the perfect moisturizer, but the perfect foundation primer for my Bare Minerals foundation! This is oil-free which is perfect for my acne-prone skin, does not break me out while sufficiently moisturizing my skin. It used to take me days to get rid of dry patches with Jing Jang Creme, but this product absorbs fast and works quick and effectively. Another good thing is that a little goes a long way. The SA at Sephora filled me up a good sized sample and I have yet to finish it, and I use it more than once on a daily basis. IMO, you really get your moneys worth for this particular item. I would recommend this to anyone!

*UPDATE* Last night after I cleansed my face I noticed that my nose was so horribly dried out it looked like crocodile skin. I applied this moisturizer and woke up the next morning and oh-my-god I couldnt tell my nose was every dry, and it glowed! I swear by this product, it's my miracle cream!

Strongly recommend! Normally, I have dry skin in the winter. I have been using this during the day under my mineral foundation and my skin is moisturized and radiant. Great primer-makeup stays well throughout the day.

I've been using this product for a few months now. My skin tends to break out if I use an products with oil, so I need oil-free and this is okay on my skin. I don't break out, but I also don't think it's moisturizes all that well. I still have dry patchy areas that remain no matter how much I slather on. Still, it works well under makeup, etc. Worth a try if you have a similar sensitivity to oil.

I definitely prefer this moisturizer over the several I have been trying for the past several months. My skin is usually dry all over in the winter but in the northeastern US, this winter has been a little mild so far and my skin is slightly oily with some breakouts and dry patches. Creams are too heavy for my skin right now and some lotions designed for normal/combo skin do not feel right.

I am enjoying this oil-free moisturizer. I put it on and it absorbs well; it does not leave a greasy feeling on my skin. The texture is really nice; it's very smooth and easy to apply. So far, it's perfect for my combo skin that can become sensitive to products.

This is a really nice, simple, non-irritating, non-oily moisturizer. It really helps foundation go on smoother, and it hydrates thrirsty skin. Plus, it's totally safe for oily, acne-prone girls- as is the whole LORAC line.

This moisturizer is very good, it hydrates my skin perfectly and gives my a flawless complexion, I think every skintyp can use it, because it's a light moisturizer, it's oil-free and it smells nice. I often use this moisturizer and I have it always at home.
