   I got this -50% in duty free for ~25€, NOT BAD!
   I have dry skin, but this cream was just too rich. I cant imagine what the version for dry skin must be like.
   Anyway, it was wayyy too rich, even for a person with dry skin like mine after using accuttane and due to this I began having break outs. It doesn’t absorb and is kinda greasy and feels uncomfortable, so Im sure it blocks pores.
   I recommend either the Clinique moisture surge or intense over this if someone has very dry skin. I used it during and after accutane and will keep using it since nothing else works.

   I wanted to like this product as I heard that it has a lot of good nutrients for the skin. For my dry skin, it just disappeared and left my face feeling tight, cakey and uncomfortable. Even after two coats! Liked the smell and texture though.

   The estee lauder nutritious vita-mineral moisturizing gel, is good. The lady at the counter that sold me the gel said that it would improve the elastin production in my skin and maybe eliminate pores, as far as i’ve seen my pores have shrunk but it might or might not be because of the gel. The gel smells really good, but it is kind of oily so i wouldn’t recommend this for oily skin, it would be perfect on dry skin that needs that oiliness, overall I think it is a good moisturizer because it does help my skin and doesn’t break me out, I would purchase it again.

   This smells darn good, but it is a bit too greasy for a day cream. Definitely not worth its price at all. Would probably work much better as a night cream.

   I discovered the Nutritious line by accident and now I love it. I first picked upthe moisture gel creme at a COC and was told that the line is only old in Asia. After trying and loving the gel cream and lotion, I desperately looked everywhere for more and what do you know I found the Nutritious line at Nordstrom! Back when I lived in the Midwest, my combination skin got very dry in the winter and I needed a heavier moisturizer but now that I’m living in the mid-Atlantic, the higher year-round humidity has kept my skin more normal. I don’t find the gel creme to be greasy at all. It’s a very light texture, somewhere between a gel and a cream, and absorbs instantly without any greasiness. It does, however, leave a slight dewiness on my skin. I use the gel creme at night and in the daytime in the winter time without any breakouts or greasiness. That said, I don’t think the gel creme is appropriate for very dry skin or oilier skin. You have to have as close to normal skin as possible. In warmer months, I switch to the lotion. Once again, I haven’t experienced any breakouts. That said, my skin is not nearly as acne prone now as it was when I was in my 20s so breakouts are rare for me. Nutritious is my favorite line of moisturizers and I hope Estee Lauder doesn’t discontinue it like they do with all their lines. The fragrance is fantastic! It’s very light and subtle and not at all like the usual old lady Estee Lauder fragrances although no fragrance would be even better. I love this stuff!

   This is my favourite moisturizer at the moment. I love the fruity smell and the gel-cream texture. It’s hydrating enough (though I’m not completely sure about winter time) and it’s not oily (doesn’t make my t-zone into an oil slick). It’s a pain that it’s only available at Nordstrom but, so far, they’ve had pretty good gwp so no complaints. I’ll have to see if it can last me through winter…

   Hmmm. Here’s an update on this Gel Creme, which I’ve been using on and off. I wanted so much to love it as I use the Energy Lotion which I like, but it’s simply too greasy, icky and dust-attracting (I can imagine my cheeks picking up all the germs on my pillow if I sleep on my side — yeuks!).

   No matter how little I apply, an oily film remains on the surface of my face. No doubt, the smell is heavenly and makes me feel like I’m giving my skin a heavenly treat. Unfortunately, the truth is far removed from that fantasy.

   The Gel Creme, amazingly, is intended for use in the day which I can’t understand unless you’re in your 40s and 50s with incredibly dry, mature skin. The texture is simply too rich (shouldn’t a gel have a lightweight, souffle-like consistency?) and neither does this moisturiser have any SPF. At best, it should be used at night. Nutritious has a night cream as it is, and with the Gel Creme being this heavy and greasy, I can only imagine how much oilier the night version is *shudder*.

   EL Nutritious Vita-Mineral Moisture Gel Creme is a Nordstrom’s
   exclusive. I worked my way through a generous trial size jar,
   but much as I like EL products generally, and I was a big fan of
   the original Nutritious that came in the white milkglass jar, I didn’t
   care for this new Nutritious. Silicones perhaps. I tried it alone for
   days without makeup, and I tried it under makeup. When used alone,
   it looked ok for a few minutes only, then made my skin look
   old. And when used under my usual makeup, the makeup
   didn’t last well. The light scent was ok, though I prefer unscented.
   Really wanted to like this, but will stick with Daywear Plus and
   various Clinique products.
