This is a really nice lightweight moisturizer for oily skin types. I have been using Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, which I really like a lot, but I received a sample of the...

The smell doesn't bother me. I luv the texture. It get absorbed into the skin fairly quickly. I've tried soooo many moisturizers. Many of them just sits on top like putting a sticky film on ur...

I liked this as a light moisturizer for daytime. I have very oily skin and this sank in well and did not feel greasy. Plus the DHC packaging is very high quality.

I agree that it has an unpleasant smell! It does disappear somewhat, unless you get hot, and then you'll smell it again. It's a nice product otherwise. Does a good job of moisturizing without...

My skin seemed to like the sample, but I CANNOT get over the smell! Smells like old baby formula or something. Baby spitup? I don't know, but whatever smell that is, it most certainly doesn't go...

I just can't get over the smell of this moisturizer! IT smells kind of like rotten milk..It DOES linger. Kudos for those who like it. The consistency is thin too. Not much of a moisturizer to me. I...

DHC discontinued Light Moisture and replaced it with Emollient Balm. Doesn't cause breakouts and lightweight perfect for combo skin. I actually kinda like the smell. (I guess I'm a freak) Smells...

A nice easily absorbed moisturizer for those who don't like the feel of sticky creams. Feels cool and silky on skin. OK, it doesn't have the usual perfumey smell, but it doesn't smell bad to...

The sample of DHC' s Emollient Balm was great for my skin (combination) but it has a really off-putting smell. I won't buy it because I don't think I could stand putting that smell on my face...

Smells like the bottle of vitamins when you open them and take out the cotton. Ugh. Kind of strange, gritty consistency. But smooths the face. I can't get past the smell.

I really like the mosturizer. It's really light for my extremely oily skin. Though I think they can do something about the fragrance, it does'nt really bother me because the long term results are...

I agree with the previous review.. DHC stuff really smells bad.. that's the main reason I stopped using the line. It's a nice skincare line, but I just need something that smells more pleasant....

This is supposed to be a moisturizer. I know that DHC products don't contain any fragrances but I think they should have fragranced this stuff. It smells gross. I don't know what it smells like but...
