I wish it would work
Review by Nicole
-
I bought this a while ago, but it didn't work very well on my combination skin, it irritated me and I didn't feel enough moisturization. I stopped using it and then tried again after a month or so, but the results were the same. I wish it had worked, really, beacause I know that all PC products are so well formulated and I have products that work well on my skin, but not this one :(. Sadly, I have to give it only 1 star.Product Rating

Silky, absorbant formula
Review by Bumbalina
-
This product has worked very well for me. It has a lovely silky texture that spreads really evenly across your face when you apply it. It absorbs very well without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. My skin feels quenched after using it. I found that it worked remarkably well during the winter months as well. Like all of the products I have found a little goes a long way with my 60ml lasting me for 4 months. Given the results you get I think these products really are excellent value for money. I was paying £100 every 2 months for a moisturiser that reduced my breakouts. This is much better and costs much less. (Posted on 25/02/2012)Product Rating -
Well worth the ££
Review by Jo

This is a brilliant lightweight moisturiser that I would reccommend to anyone who suffers from outbreaks of spots like me! Doesnt clog your pores and is great under makeup. Mine has lasted me nearly 6months as you only need a small amount - well worth the money in my opinion! (Posted on 30/05/2011)Product Rating -

Tried both this one and the hydralight, but much prefer the gel. Feels great, no break outs (and no smell!). Will go back to this lovely moisturizer as soon as the hydralight is finished. (Posted on 14/02/2011)Product Rating -

Another excellent product
Review by Sarah

The first time I sampled this I knew it was going to be a future purchase. It is perfect for combination/oily skins and is the best base for make up that anyone could wish for. I have tried so many primers that feel greasy and slick but this leaves your skin soft, silky and a natural matte. A 2 in 1 product; lightweight hydration and make up primer with skin loving ingredients. Love it. (Posted on 26/11/2010)Product Rating -
Smooth and light on skin
Review by Charlie
-
I love the light, smooth feeling of the gel. I can feel my skin relaxing almost instantly. This is one of the nicest facial products I have ever used. No fatty skin, no pulling due to not moisturising enough, just perfect for combination skin so definitely 5 stars in my book. (Posted on 12/10/2010)Product Rating -

Great product
Review by Natalie
-
Not greasy, moisturises well and makes my skin feel great - I tried the hydralight paula's choice aswell to see how they compared but to me that one felt too thin and didn't sit as well on the skin. I'm sticking with this now, I've tried many moisturizers over the years and have not found anything better. (Posted on 24/06/2010)Product Rating -

Ideal for oily skin
Review by James
-
My skin is sensitive and combination. I use the Skin Balancing Moisture Gel at night and it soothes, reduces redness and is not greasy at all. I think this is a must try for people with my skin type. (Posted on 18/11/2009)Product Rating -
Makes My eyes sting.
Review by jane
-
Great moisturizer except it stings the eyes for a few minutes, even when I avoid the eye area. It must be caused by an ingredient that evaporates from the surface as the stinging stops when the gel has dried. A shame!! (Posted on 17/06/2009)Product Rating
At night, apply a thin layer (about a nickel-sized amount) of Skin Balancing Moisture Gel after cleansing, toning or exfoliating. Also works beautifully around the eyes. For particularly dry areas, this can be worn under a more emollient moisturizer. For daytime, if needed, wear under an SPF 15 product.

Should I consider this product if I currently use Paula's Choice HydraLight Moisture-Infusing Lotion?
This is a matter of preference. If you prefer your moisturizer to feel weightless while keeping skin smooth and soft, then Skin Balancing Moisture Gel is for you. Either formula will take care of dry (but not very dry) skin without feeling heavy or occlusive, and both leave skin matte.
My skin is normal, without any really oily or dry areas. Do I need a moisturizer?
Your skin needs the beneficial ingredients found in our formulations. Our state-of-the-art toners can suffice if you don't want to use moisturizer every day. Our Skin Balancing Moisture Gel and HydraLight Moisture-Infusing Lotion are weightless moisturizers that can make you feel like you aren't wearing anything on your face at all.
