i bought this because i wanted a day time moisturizer with spf. i wouldn't buy this again because i want something with at least spf 30; it also left my skin looking shiny, which i didn't like, and it didn't moisturize that well either, so i took off the 2 lippies for that. it smells good, and you get a lot for the price, but it just didn't work for me.

I bought this moisturizer when my Clinique Counter was out of Superdefense SPF 25. This is not a quality product at all. Although it’s oil-free and did not cause my skin to break out, my skin becomes an oil-slick after an hour (unless I use philosophy the Present clear makeup primer on top of it). Also – and this is really strange – it stings! No other moisturizer – high-end or drugstore brand – has ever done this. My skin is oily, break-out prone, and mildly sensitive, but I’ve never had a moisturizer exacerbate its sensitivity. It also has a synthetic fruity smell. The only thing I liked was that it came in a travel-friendly pump. I will not buy this again.

this stuff is really fucking nasty. it feels alright to the touch and spreads evenly at first but beware. i believe it helped cause so many new blemishes on my skin. i bought it instead of my (old) regular pore minimizing moisturizer (which i really quite enjoy) and i should have known, moisturizers don't come in packages that big.
my skin usually doesn't like spf more than 20 but this has 15 like a lot of products i used and it still caused greasiness and acne.

i hated it. will not use it again. i added some tea tree oil to it and it still sucked.
avoid it.
biore's new line kind of sucks.

I've had the same experience many others have had with this product. It clogged my pores, caused breakouts, and left my face feeling greasy and sticky. Awful experience! I purchased it after my regular Biore Moisturizer disappeared from the shelves - the Shine Free Oil Absorbing moisturizer. It was one of the only moisturizers I was ever able to use in my life because my skin is so super oily. I've since purchased 6 bottles on Ebay since I can't find it anywhere (Biore has discontinued it!). I called Biore the other day to find out if they were planning on offering a replacement product - and they said the Nourish Moisture Lotion WAS the replacement. Ugh.
In my opinion it's way too thick for those with oily skin. However, if you've had the same experience that I've had, contact Biore directly by emailing from their website. They are very responsive to feedback and will offer you a replacement product coupon for any Biore product of your choice. I also think it's important to let the company know that this product isn't working for a lot of people with oily, acne prone skin.
Next, I might try the Biore Pore Minimizing Moisturizer - this one claims to reduce pore size, provide a light powdery finish, & help with excess oil. So... we'll see what happens with this one!

This product smells very nice but it's so strong and lasts for a very long time so you get irritated after a while! It has spf 15 in it so it is a bit thick and after it goes on my skin, it doesn't absorb very quickly and just sits there making my oily skin look even more oily.

To make things worse, it broke me out so i gave it to my boyfriend who has very dry skin and it's doing wonders for him. He tells me, it softens his skin but the smell doesnt please him either.

To conclude, this moisturizer is not for combo/oily people.

This moisturizer is really great!! It's not thick, Yet it moisturizes very well and I only have to use a bit. It'll be very good for winter. EDIT- After a while, I noticed that this clogs my pores and makes my skin look oily. It doesn't really absorb into my skin.

This is my first review, I just had to review about how terrible this product was. This stuff broke me out horribly, my face started to feel irritated and itchy. It didn't sink into my skin nicely. It felt like a layer of grease on my face. Overall a terrible product. This product is everything you don't want a moisturizer to be. I'm so disappointed!

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely adored Biore's Pore-Minimizing lotion with SPF 15 and I was completely devastated when I stopped by my local ds to pick it up the other day and found it gone! So...I thought I'd give this new lotion a try. Like my previous fav, this is also oil-free, but it does seem to be a little more moisturizing which will definitely be a plus during the colder months, however it is a bit much for my extremely wacky seasonal skin right now. Although this lotion doesn't have the yummy watermelon scent that the pore-minimizing lotion had, it smells okay, kind of a crisp, herbal scent that masks the sunscreen smell. This lotion absorbs okay, but does leave my skin a bit shiny, so some kind of powder or foundation is a must for me. I also haven't had any problems with irritation, stinging, etc. To sum things up, this definitely isn't my pore-minimizing HG but it's definitely a reasonable substitute considering it's availability and low price (especially considering that this new bottle is 3.4 oz versus the 1.7 oz size of my old fav). Would most likely repurchase this lotion.
