Chanel Precision Hydramax+ Active Active Moisture Boost Cream
Average member rating
The higher the thread count, the softer the sheets, right? Well think of this splurge-worthy moisturizer the same way. It's not cheap, but it's luxurious and pampering. It's pale blue and has a divine texture that feels like a cream/gel combo. It adds intense moisture to dry skin using glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, and it contains yeast extract that helps form skin lipids that dry skin types lack. But honestly, it just feels so good on.

I love this cream! I recommend it to friends and they also love it. The scent is what I'm addicted to, the scent is light and fresh similar to cucumber . The cream is thick but not greasy. It stays on all night and you still feel a light layer on your skin in the morning. It's very hydrating, great for boosting your skin hydration after exposing to harsh weather days. The sales lady told me that it doesn't have skin repair properties like anti againg and such, so she recommends it used once in a while after days back from places with harsh climates and to use other creams with skin correction benefits daily. I would have gave it a 10 if it contains skin correction ingredients. November 30, 2007, 10:59 am

A luxury, and a pleasure. It's a pale blue cream that has fixed my most problematic dryness in a way that the last 11 (yes, 11) moisturizers I used in the previous 4 months had not. In fact, this is the best moisturizer I have ever used and works absolute wonders for my insanely fickle face. Although the cream seems heavy, it completely absorbs into the face leaving it soft, intensely hydrated and not at all greasy. It's healed all of my dry and flaky areas but hasn't sponsored breakouts in more oily regions . For the first time in months concealer blends in without looking dry and painty, which has solved the eye cream crisis of '08. It is unusual for me to be this happy with a skincare product two months in; ordinarily by now I'd be waiting to use up what I have in order to move forward in my quest for the best. It is now officially summer in Florida with high humidity and 90 degree weather, but I am still able to use this daily without breaking out or feeling greasy (well, no more greasy than usual). However if you are an oily person, you may want to skip this for summer (although you could probably pimp this as a night cream - yum). I realized not so long ago that while I always thought I had combination-oily skin, I'm actually combo-dry and that my skin was overproducing oil to compensate for the fact that I rarely, if ever, adequately moisturized. Testing out a zillion different moisturizers was a sometimes painful task, but finding the right one (for me) has changed the relationship with my skin for the better. Hallelujah! This has become been so crucial that I will gallop barefoot back to a Chanel when I run out. $68 is more than I'd usually spend on a moisturizer but this one's more than worthy (and smells beautiful too). If you have dry patches that won't be tamed, ask your local Chanel counter for samples and give this one a go. June 11, 2008, 5:04 am

Softly Glorious
by andmiriam (5 reviews)This moisturizer has seen me through everything from happiness to heartbreak. I would recommend it to anyone. Plus it smells amazing, its the best of spring and summer and leaves your face feeling baby soft. Now I sound like I'm trying to sell it, which I definitely don't need to do, this one sells itself.

PURE HEAVEN - IM IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by MissAnnnie (62 reviews)
Nothing will beat this moisture cream. There is not enough room for me to write all the good things I could say about it. It's all natural, made from botanicals, has no SPF *yippie!* and smells of heaven. I've used Chanel's hydramax cream for years, and this new version is even better!!!

Soothing and Moisturizing
by dclegal (2 reviews)
This moisturizer actually absorbs into your skin immediately. It is cooling and soothing, and not only plumps-up your skin, it leaves the surface dewey and soft. It has a very nice fragrance that is clean and not overpowering. It lasts for quite a while on your skin. October 26, 2007, 6:27 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
