Editor Review

Rated a 3.5

More like a serum, this daily lotion gets mixed reviews, partly because it doesn't contain SPF. As the lotion dries to near-invisible, skin feels calm and tingly. But is that due to "Icelandic kelp," the menthol scent or one of the other many, many ingredients in the list? It's not exactly "quenching" in terms of moisturizer, so oily skin types may find it more appealing than normal-to-dry types. Word to the wise: Keep clear of your eyes. (Ouch!)

    Finally: a perfect moisturizer!

    by AllGrowedUp (7 reviews)
    I can't be the only woman on the planet who has combination skin---especially in these dark and harsh days when we are subjected to so many chemical and environmental stressors that breakouts and itchies are just lurking everywhere! That said, I'd just about despaired on finding a moisturizer that wasn't either too drying... or too emollient.. ...yet somehow this one seems to have a "brain" and just know what my skin needs. It calms down the anxious spots and actually reverses the areas "on the verge of a nervous breakdown"---without causing those awful flake-y dry patches---and gives me enough moisture that the rest of my skin just glows. And GLOWS. And my whole face feels absolutely fabulous after I've used it: all tingle-y and happy, as if it's saying "About time, girl!!" March 22, 2008, 12:42 am

    This is a face lotion, not a body lotion

    by lkertscher (3 reviews)
    This is a great face lotion for those with combo skin to use in the summer. it is a nice light weight lotion with a touch of mint that provides a great cooling sensation. Has a nice light scent that does go away quickly. October 15, 2007, 10:16 am

    Refreshing for my sensitive combo skin

    by sjacobs405 (11 reviews)
    This stuff is so different. Its got this cooling sensation that I can only compare to a really mild version of the "icy" in Icy Hot. I have sensitive combination skin and this stuff absorbs quickly and never feels greasy. Since I started using it, I have noticed a significant decrease in day-time oiliness. Its gre...at for helping to balance combination skin. June 10, 2008, 1:09 pm

    Never Again

    The menthol smell was so strong it really bothered my eyes. On top of it, it left my skin slightly greasy. September 18, 2009, 11:48 pm

    May not be good for all, but a GODSEND for many!

    by brooklyn007 (4 reviews)
    This moisturizer (that is not at all like a serum) has a gel-cream consistency-- So, it is not going to be great for all skin types. A lot of those with drier skins may not be happy with it. (I hear the one w/ SPF is way thicker, but haven't used it myself.) However, this is great for combo and oiler skin types! It isn't dr...ying, yet it isn't greasy. Amazing! There is a tingle when you apply it (that can be attributed to the menthol), and I've found it to be quite minimal, but maybe others might be bothered by it. I've found my skin to be brighter, rosier, and more clear! There are a lot of natural ingredients, and they leave out the parabens. (Yay!) I've heard some people complain about price, but if you want a good, name-brand, department store/boutique, product, you're going to have to pay a little more than you would for neutrogena, dove, or biore, (and in my opinion, this is a far superior product w/ better ingredients). And this really is not that pricy when compared to other products sold at Sephora. This is very fairly priced. I do wish it weren't in a clear glass bottle, for I would think that this would degrade the efficacy of ingredients. I would not recommend storage in the bathroom, (extreme heat and light is bad!). I know some people balk at the fact that there isn't any SPF. They do have a version with SPF, but I think it has a much different consistency. Personally, I don't always like an added SPF in my daily moisturizer, b/c of the added greasiness. I just use a mineral makeup for sunscreen. (I love Everyday Minerals!) When I'm at the beach, though, I'll use an actual sunscreen cream. Anyway, all in all, this is a very nice product that is worth trying. Don't forget that if you live by a Sephora store, you can get a free sample b/4 purchasing! Hope this helped! *Update* Although I do not currently use this moisturizer, I still stand by the review! I'm one of those who is constantly trying new things! I actually finished the entire bottle! This is a great product! October 25, 2008, 6:19 pm

    Smells great, results so-so

    I loved this, the consistancy is light, it absorbs well and feels great on your skin. HOWEVER: NO SPF so you'll still need to add it on. August 19, 2008, 2:33 pm

    Great for Summer

    by Megan807 (8 reviews)
    I love the cooling sensation you get when using this product. It is very lightweight, it seems to evaporate into your skin. I use it sometimes when I am hot and just need a cool down! The only problem I have with it is that it did not help my dry skin. I wish it did because I love everything else about it, but I will pr...obably switch moisturizers once this bottle is gone.
