   I got this and the night version as samples when I restock on my Purifying Foam Cleanser. The texture even though light and watery tends to turn a bit greasy after I’ve put it on. On itself I would rate it as an average to above average lightweight moisturizer that does it job but disappoints when put under make-up.

   It seems to amplifies the dry patches on my cheeks what with my makeup base and liquid foundation basically clinging onto the patches and refusing to even blend. I look like I have half-baked melted make up on after 5 mins. And I notice there;s breakouts every time I used it.

   This might be suitable for those with dry to normal skin types that can absorb richer moisturizers, but for those that have acne-prone/sensitive/overall moody-ass skin, its better to get a sample to test it out before splurging on a whole bottle.

   Decent basic moisturizer; keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day and doesn’t seem to cause any breakouts after two months of use. I apply after the alcohol-free softener in the same line, and it seems to absorb well enough. I wouldn’t trust the SPF for more than walking to and from your car, though.

   This is probably not for anyone with oily skin, or who wants to look matte all day.

   A lot of other reviewers have commented that it leaves a greasy film on their face, and yes, it’s true. It feels similar to how some primers and suncreens dry down.

   I actually happen to like the film because it makes my foundations look better (no dry cakey look), which is why I purchased this moisturizer in the first place. I don’t like a lot of liquid foundations because they look powdery and dry, but wearing them over this moisturizer makes them luminous and glowy. Go figure.

   Great packing – sanitary pump, and opaque container so light-sensitive ingredients don’t break down before you apply. One full pump is enough for your face, neck, and chest, but the pump isn’t “sticky” like some others, so you can easily dispense 1/2 pump or whatever amount you want.

   For the fragrance-sensitive, this has the usual Shiseido fragrance, which dissipates shortly after application.

   I tried this and I was in love.
   Much more moisturising than the White Lucent range, and cheaper to boot.
   My HG moisturiser. Keeps my skin lovely and soft the whole day!

   EDIT (25/1/2013): I have stopped using this product as I find it less effective than Biotherm. Biotherm’s cheaper too. However it is nonetheless a good moisturiser.
