This is definitely my favorite moisturizer! I got mine at Walgreens on sale for about $10.00. The tub is 4oz which will last quite awhile. I love that it's a gel-cream consistency, as I have comination-oily skin and the typical white cream moisturizers are too heavy to put on my face. When my pot is finished I will absolutely repurchase!

This is increadible. I will never use another moisturizer. It makes my skin glow. It is not oily. I love how it has an SPF. It also smells very pretty. And it goes on smoothly.

I wanted a moisturizer with some SPF and this one caught my eye. It feels good on my skin and absorbs really fast. It didn't break me out and it had helped fade the fine lines on my forehead when combined with retinol cream. The smell is amazing. :) I will be repurchasing.

I am a big fan of moisturizers that come in tubs, because I generally don't use an entire pump from the bottles. It absorbs super quick, has a light,clean, non-chemical scent, and is light enough where I don't get super oily by the end of the day! I live in Hawaii, but my skin is so dry that if I don't put moisturizer on it's tight and itchy, but most moisturizers just sit on my skin and cause it to be oily later in the day. However, because this moisturizer just sinks right in, it doesn't leave me super oily at the end of the day! I love this product!

Bottom line: This moisturizer absorbs quickly, smells good, and keeps your face moisturized without leaving it oily. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

I love this stuff, my skin sucks it right up. Most moisturizers just sit on your skin, but this stuff actually absorbs super fast. I've been using it for several months now, and I love it!

Not moisturizing enough for my combo skin in the colder months. Certainly the dimethicone makes my skin feel silky and moisturized, but if I apply this in the morning, wait 10 minutes for it to sink in, and then apply foundation, my foundation tends to look chalky and obvious on the drier patches of my cheeks.

I'm kind of a beauty nerd and get a real kick out of experimenting, so I took the little free travel size lotion and scooped it all out, and mixed in a little less than a half teaspoon of jojoba oil into it. I was at Sephora the other day looking at the ingredients of a lot of the lighter-weight moisturizers, and saw that the Korres pomegranate moisturizer for combo/oily skin was mostly jojoba oil. For a while I was using pure jojoba on my face at night as my night time moisturizer, so I know that it doesn't break me out. Anyway, this turned out to be a perfect solution and the resultant moisturizer is my new HG for daytime wear under makeup. I might have to reformulate (hah!) when the weather gets warmer, but we'll see.

I purchased this at Walgreens for about $10-15 (can't remember the exact price :P) and have been using this moisturizer since the beginning of summer this year.
Okay, I'm just going to shoot right into it, this is my HG moisturizer! Or at least for the summer ... haven't really tried this out in the cold season. Originally, the Clinique Dramatically Moisturizing Gel was my HG but that didn't contain SPF and this one does! This one also includes antioxidants and anti-wrinkle properties, which is a plus! And the consistency feels the same so everything works out :) Since I have combination oily skin, this is GREAT for it. It doesn't have the creamy lotion-y consistency that makes me oily but instead it's more of a serum or gel. I seriously adored this during the summer and since it's still pretty hot in So Cal, I'm still loving this :) And since it's a serum like consistency, you really need just a little tiny bit to spread it all over the face. And it smells really good! Overall, it's a great moisturizer that feels light on the skin and really helps with my oily skin!
The only complaint I have about it, is the packaging. I do wish it comes in a bottle with a pump or something instead of a jar for sanitary reasons ... but that's pretty much it!

I wanted to like this product so much. While it did moisturize my face, it also gave me VERY oily skin! And I have a feeling it contributed to the constant redness my face was having. I liked the way it made my face feel when it was first applied but it went downhill after 20 minutes or so. My face would just feel dirty and gross. Not cool...

Found this thanks to MUA. Nice product. Smells great, feels great, and absorbs quickly so I can apply make up without much of a wait. I like that it has SPF so I can forgo additional sun screen on work days when I don't get outside much.

My sister gave this to me because she didn't like it; I've been using it a little while now & it's my FAVOURITE moisturizer. I use it every single day. I love how this product smells. It actually smells like grapes, which amazes me. It doesn't leave my face oily/greasy & doesn't feel heavy. It keeps my face moisturized without making me look "dirty" or sweaty.

However, I'm not sure if I would buy this myself; like I said, I received this as a gift. When I see it in stores, the price makes me cringe.

Absolutely LOVE this moisturizer! HG status! I have been using this moisturizer religiously for over 2 years now and it's the best moisturizer I've ever used! I have oily, acne-prone skin and it works super well to keep my skin hydrated without feeling too heavy. It smells nice, absorbs quickly, and works well under makeup. SPF is an added plus! It does not clog my pores nor does it make me break out. It's a bit on the pricey side, especially for a drug store product, but it's totally worth it. I can't imagine life without this!

I bought this because the cosmetics sales lady at Walgreens said that customers love it. I was hesistant but in the end i listened to her and tried it. I'm really glad i did! it's hydrating but it definitely doesnt feel oily on my skin. The package contains a lot of product, I've had mine for a few months now and I'm not even halfway through with it. At first I wasn't crazy about the smell but I got used to it pretty quickly. Since its working so well on my skin, I think i'm going to keep buying it once I Run out.

I love this stuff! It is, by far, the best moisturizer for day time I have ever used. It is anti-wrinkle, artificial fragrance-free, non-oily, and, has tons of antioxidants. Also, it has SPF 15, which, is a good amount of SPF to have on your face daily. Now, I don't have any issues with wrinkles, so, I couldn't say how that aspect of the moisturizer works, but, it is definately non-oily. It is not completely oil free, so it didn't highlight my dry spots and moisturized well, but, it also absorbed well, mattifyed my oily skin a bit, and, didn't break me out. It is amazing! It does have a scent from the ingredients, (it is a very refreshing scent!) but, there are no fragrances added. As for packaging and price, it is purple and comes in a jar. (which some hate, but, I actually love!) I got it for $15 at Walgreens, which, is a little pricey for drugstore, but, you get 4 fl. oz. and a travel size jar. (0.5 fl. oz. to 1 fl. oz.) Overall, totally worth everything, expecially if you have combination-oily skin!

Da tôi rất nhờn và hay nổi mụn vì vậy tôi luôn đắn đo không biết nên dùng loại dưỡng nào cho ban ngày và trước lớp trang điểm. Tôi cũng đã thay rất nhiều loại kem dưỡng trước khi tìm ra sản phẩm này. Phải nói là tôi vô cùng hài lòng, nó hấp thụ vào da tôi rất nhanh, không gây nhờn dính và không gây mụn.

I love this product. Bought it at Walgreen's on a whim, it was so much cheaper than competitors and just wasn't finding anything I liked. I loved the smell (says fragrance free but evidently that only means free of artificial fragrance) and it felt heavy when applied, but it dries quickly and leaves your skin so soft. My next door neighbor stopped to talk to me the other day and kept saying "What are you doing to your face! what are you doing to your face! It looks incredible!". I just laughed and bought her some last night. I'm 52 and my skin is dry. This cream is awesome and if it goes off the market I will be so upset.

I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin but this is grade A stuff when it comes to oily skin like mine. Best drugstore moisturizer I've tried yet. I love how fast it absorbs. I'm very against products that add oil to my face because they can cause me to breakout. The price may be a bit high for drugstore brands but this is really on par with department store stuff. Overall great product and I'll definetly be repurchasing it.

I'm annoyed that I found this product after reordering a big bottle of Clinique's DDM gel. Walgreens was giving out samples of both the day and night creams so I gave them a try. I'd never even heard of this stuff before but this moisturizer really is fantastic and at a great price compared to what I've spent on others. I have a hard time finding moisturizers that aren't too heavy or contain silicones and sunscreens that feel disgusting or break out my combo skin. While this does contain Dimethicone it's lower on the ingredients list than most others I've used. I didn't see any silicones listed on the Night Cream and that one feels exactly the same so I don't know why they bother. You would never know that this was spf 15. No filmy residue, smells nice, and it absorbs instantly. I prefer using the cone free Night Cream during the day under my own sunscreen but this is great to keep in my bag or for days I'm not running around outside much. I got a travel size tub of the Day Cream with a full size purchase of the Night Cream at Walgreens for $19. I took one lippie off for the tub packaging and the fact that in spite of the many good ingredients they both still contain petroleum. So if you're looking for a petroleum free product this line is not for you. Both versions list either petrolatum or Isoparaffin in their ingredients.

I LOVE THIS MOISTURIZER! It is great because I have really oily skin, especially during the summer, so this product is amazing because is not greasy at all, is lightweight so my skin absorbs it really well, it has a nice scent to it, it has anti-wrinkle properties, it has spf 15, which is not enough but at least it has some in it :) The other thing I love is that it comes with a free travel size jar, how nice of them! :D. However, I wouldn't recommend this if you have very dry skin because i don't think it would moisturize your skin enough, so this product is best for oily skin.

I LOVE this product! Buy the night cream also! It DOES NOT I repeat DOES NOT have petroleum in it. The product dries fast, leaves no oily residue on the skin, has a faint but pleasant smell, the day cream is a lilac purple cream in a white jar the night cream is a white color in a black jar. I have acne prone skin and this is the perfect moisturizer for my skin and leaves your skin will feel smoother and more "flexible."
