Works as a night cream, but is too heavy for day

I apply Celestial after washing and toning my face and can count on waking up to soft, moisturized skin. Although Celestial smells a bit odd in the jar, you'll catch heavenly whiffs of vanilla as you smooth it on your grateful skin. It may seem spendy, but a little goes a long ways. (And do use only a very little; it can feel greasy.) Although my whole face is dry and flaky, my nose is also blackh...read moreead-prone. Celestial makes the blackheads ten times worse, so I can only use it on my cheeks and forehead.

NOT FOR ACNE PRONE, COMBINATION SKIN

Me: Combination, sensitive, hormonal moderate acne breakouts. 26YO female. My skin was at it's calmest state(mostly have healing acne scars, no new breakouts, etc) before I decided to try out their moisturizer. Idiot girl there recommended for sensitive acne prone skin. PROS: Natural ingredients. Smells good. CONS: Feels REALLY heavy like a body lotion. It takes a long time to absorb. At first i...read moret seemed okay when I used it but within a week my skin went rogue. Considering it's for sensitive skin, I broke out badly. Noticed little white breakouts everywhere. Clogs pores and had giant zits. VERY disappointed and angry because it takes a lot of work to keep my skin calm. Especially when you sweat, you can feel the full blown thickness of this moisturizer. Skin gets super greasy. By the way, it's not until a bit later that I realized it has cocoa butter which is highly Comedogenic. Conclusion: Used for a week and returned.

Sensitive Skin Essential *

When your skin is freaking out and you just need something without much in it, (aka. I want something soothing that wont break me out or make my face red) then this is the one for you. Also works well with other products I use a skin brightening serum under it. another thing if it seems like it is going on too thick put a squirt of tea tree toner water on your face first or simply wet your face a little.

Nothing Special

This is a fine moisturizer, but nothing great. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin. The biggest dissapointment is, as usual, Lush's use of parabens and phalates. Not very "green", Lush.

THE BEST!

I love this moisturizer. I have slightly oily skin that gets dried out easily and causes breakouts. I have a really hard time finding a mild, yet effective, moisturizer. This has been my favorite for years. Actually, it's the only one I'll buy. Bonus - it smells nice and a little goes a long way!

Use just a little

I love the smell of this product, but if I use too much it leave my face feeling greasy. Just the tiniest speck is all you need. I think this tub would far outlast its expartion date for the amount in it compared to the amount used.

Love it!

I have sensitive skin and thus have a hard time finding nicely scented moisturizers. This one is lovely-smelling and works like a charm. I highly recommend it.

Love it!

This is my absolute favorite face moisturizer. I have dry skin (mild eczema,) but my face has been called combo by facialists (but all the combo stuff I’ve tried makes me break out, so I’m not sure how combo I actually am FACIALISTS,) so finding a facial moisturizer used to be a pain. This stuff has solved all my breakout and dry skin problems! Love the vanilla scent (smells like vanilla frost...read moreing, yum!) and a little goes a long way-- the tubs last me three to six months depending on the time of year. I use more in the winter, but avoid putting too much on at once-- it'll sweat out if you put too much on. I usually do a thin layer in the morning all year round, and then another one at night during the winter.
