Let me start off by saying, I love this product! I have used it for almost 2 years and have purchased 3 or 4 jars of it. I use the dry skin version, so the pink one (the colour doesn't hurt ;)). There is also a green one, which I got my sister and mom using and they seem to like it too, and I have tried that one as well. I will switch over to the green one for summer, because I don't need as much moisturization. In the winter my skin is very dehydrated, plus I have acne, so I am always using some sort of drying acne treatments.
Why I love it
1. It has a nice gel consistency, sometimes with gels they are not moisturizing enough because they are too light, this feels light on the skin but is still moisturizing.
2. It moisturizes very well, as I said, I have acne, so I use benzoyl peroxide, which can make your skin flaky and dry. This moisturizer subsides that and makes my skin feel soft.
3. It doesn't leave any sticky or heavy residue on the skin, as it is a gel.
4. It is easy to apply because it is not thick or sticky, it applies smoothly.
5. It works great under makeup, the green version actually says that on the box.
6. It doesn't break me out and doesn't make me oily.
7. It isn't very expensive, it's around $10 and I usually get mine at Wal-Mart.
Cons
1. It doesn't have SPF, which could be a good thing because it does usually make products have a different formula. This doesn't bother me too much because I usually wear makeup outside and my face doesn't get any sun when I'm wearing makeup (with SPF 15), seriously it seems to block everything. When I'm not using makeup I will use a moisturizer with SPF or just put SPF 15 sunscreen on.
2. In an ideal world, I would like to use chemical free and more natural products and also products that don't test on animals. This is my only downfall for this product and it makes me feel guilty. I only use this in the morning though, at nighttime I use Tamanu Oil as my moisturizer, which is 100% natural and cruelty free :).
