   I absolutely LOVE this moisturizer. I’m always switching up whatever face products I’m using becuase I’m just never satisfied but I’ve been using this for a few years now and I’m going to continue to do so! It controls the shine I usually get on my nose and forehead for most of the day, and isn’t heavy or greasy at all, plus it just feels amazing on my face.

   This stuff is very light weight. It dries quickly and leaves my skin very soft and NOT sticky which I find rare in most moisturizers.

   My skin is still oily after a few hours but not as much as it would be without this. I absolutely love the finish of it and how makeup applies with it on.

   My only complaint is that it is not as moisturizing as I like so I prefer to only use this in the morning.

   This product definitely helped a lot of my moisturizing problems and it gave more results to my problems than any other one I’ve tried.

   My face does not appear quite as hydrated, even after a couple of hours of use. I still get sick of oily makeup and my face has itchy spots every now and again. I went with this product for its ability to soften my face or increase hydration when I normally do.

   Best My (3 Months old!) Healing Cream for dry skin

   -Even after just using this product, I now have a lot of dry, scrumptious feeling skin around my eyes

   -The body keeps making contact with moisture and body weight, making it ideal for covering with a coat of my products.

   -It cleans and suppresses dead skin and creates a base that helps to create more hydration.

   -It also helps create a good foundation look with it’s glossiness.

   -The formula is really fast to apply, very effective with no hiccups in the blink of an eye.

   -It really works on my dark circles and circles… but does so much more when applied to them.

   Overall, I believe this is the best I’ve tried on the market.

   This product is so easy and effective.

   —For those that dont know, this is an gel but this is actually an oil that sits on your skin and even if you don’t use anything other than eucalyptus it can be more effective and cure these issues! Even when you wear it, you can feel the moisture spreading from your pores and covering your skin as well. In fact it can even help dry skin if you are heavy with acne

   —I would suggest this not to use on the wrong cheeks, it is definitely not for oily skin. If you get oily skin or sensitive looking face, if your cheeks get browning you must take care of this product because it will be quite long lasting. Using this gel on oily face may make it impossible for some areas of your face to get moisturized but not all areas on your face. It must be removed once daily.

   —So I bought this product which is fairly low glycerin and the price is fair to what I was looking for. I couldn’t find any product which only put you through 2 weeks, but more on that later, but it made me that

   LOVE IT! I have finally found a facial moisturizer that works with my skin, not against it. I have combo/oily skin. I have tried all sorts of products and usually within 45 minutes my face is greasy. I have been using this and it works like a charm. My face doesn’t get greasy and it feels so smooth. It definitely has a matte texture once it sinks into your skin but it is not overpowering. The smell I can deal with and am not bothered by. Packaging doesn’t bother me either. It’s made in the UK so I expect the packaging to be a bit more simplistic. It’s a European thing. Either way, I love this product and will continue buying it. Boots makes excellent products

   Doesn’t control shine but mixes well with liquid foundation.

   AMAZING! so i have combination skin, bascially my forehead and nose get oily, but i hate using powders 🙁 i tried this lotion, got it for $5-$6 i believe, and i just smooth a thin layer over my forehead and on my nose. it doesnt completely mattify my skin, but leaves it semi matte u know? so theres no shine, but it looks natural…so hard to explain, not quite dewy but i suppose semi-matte describes it best. looks natural, still lets ur skins natural radiance show. when i get home from school (6 hours) the very tip of my nose may be a little shiny, but thats it. great product, ok moisture but i dont reccomend putting it on ur cheeks/neck if the rest of ur skin is dry as it may not be sufficient on its own.
   i suggest u buy it, lovvve it 🙂 ive had the same tube for what, seven months? still goin strong..and cruelty free 😀

   EDIT: FUUU!!! I knew all good things come to an end D: I have blackheads on my nose, and I recently found out this lotion is the culprit. I didn’t repurchase for a while, and the blackheads disappeared. I finally bought it again, naively, and the blackheads returned! Coincidence? I think not…this may not happen to everyone though, but I’m still going to knock the rating down to one lippy.

   In the summer I am oilier, and between that and the fact that I work at a job that is very physical, and I get very hot there, my face gets very, very shiny. On work days, even my usually successful face powders just aren’t holding up. I decided to give this a try, mostly because of the very reasonable price (not much to lose). It really works quite well. My foundation applies well over it. It has greatly reduced the amount of shine I am getting on my face, and eliminates it completely for quite a few hours. I haven’t had any issues with the pump as others have. Maybe they have improved the pump?

   Really a quite effective product at a great price.
