Nice, natural moisturizer
This moisturizer leaves your skin soft, but not oily. It goes on smooth and doesn't leave residue. The brand is well known for their natural, eco-friendly products.

Affordable and works well
I love this stuff. Lightweight, non-greasy but plenty moisturizing, no strong smells, affordable. Doesn't irritate my eyes if it gets close to them. My regular skin texture would probably be considered "dry" and this stuff keeps it moisturized all day with a single application post-shower.

My perfect moisturizer!
I have combination oily/dry skin and have had trouble keeping breakouts under control while not drying out patches of my skin. I am so happy with this product that I have re-ordered twice already so that I don't ever run out when I need it. I use it in the morning and at night. The jojoba oil just works so well with my skin and the moisturizer soaks right in. I am in my mid 20s and I saw some faint wrinkles showing up on my skin from the damage I was doing to it with harsh chemicals in the acne moisturizers and gels. Now, my skin is baby soft all the time and those lines have completely disappeared for now. I use only the Desert Essence face wash, face scrub and this moisturizer, and I no longer get breakouts like I used to. I highly reccommend this product as well as the 32-oz face wash and almond facial scrub!

Good 4 Me.
Bought this item because I had good luck with other products from same company. This face cream has is light weight, applies easily and, most importantly, is unscented. I've tried lots of face creams. This one felt a bit lightweight at first, but I have gotten used to it. Dissolves on skin quickly. I recommend that you give it a go.

Effective. A bit heavy.
This is my winter moisturizer as it's a but heavy for summer months. Perfect for winter, though, when it's particularly dry in the northeast. Generally less expensive than big name brands but works just as well if not better.

... first found this product I thought it was a great deal for the price
When I first found this product I thought it was a great deal for the price... but I soon found out that I got what I paid for with this one. At first, my complaints weren't that major: it would get in my eyebrows and make them feel gross and it also wouldn't fully moisturizer my t-zone no matter how many layers I would do (I have combo skin where I am oily in my t-zone and normal everywhere else and I am also acne/blackhead prone). Then the real horror happened. I use chemical exfoliants (both BHA and AHA) and have been for years without any issue. I had even been using them with this moisturizer for nearly 3 weeks with no issue. But one day the moisturizer reacted horribly with my exfoliants and gave me what felt and looked like a horrible sun burn. It stung for about 2 minutes and my face looked horribly red all over! I thought I might of been my exfoliants because the moisturizer doesn't react like that when I don't use them but I tried them with a new moisturizer and there was no problem at all. So this could work for you if maybe you have dry or normal skin and don't use chemical exfoliants. Even then, I would say it's a gamble.

Perfect for my sensitive, combination skin!
I love this stuff! I won't rehash all the details, but in addition to the info listed on the packaging/in the description, I like that it doesn't contain silicone. It's not that silicone is bad for my skin, but it doesn't do much in a moisturizer besides add slip for cheaper than using more oils and fatty acids, which provide their own slip. It says it's scented with natural geranium essential oil, but don't worry if you can't stand the smell of geraniums. It's a quite mild, faint, almost brown sugar smell. It's not the odor of the stalks and leaves. It is so faint that if they didn't tell me it was scented on purpose, I would just think it was unscented. It's a decent size jar for the price, much cheaper than other face creams I've used. I used to use the Welleda baby face lotion with calendula, but it's so greasy compared to this. The Desert Essence is light and sinks right into the skin, without leaving a sticky residue or coating of oil. I use it at night and in the morning, after I wash my face. I will continue to use this until they stop making it or change the formula drastically.

Okay regular moisturizer
This is not a perfect miracle moisturizer. I used it as a day moisturizer for over a month and for me it was: - a reasonably good-smelling lotion - a slightly oily moisturizer that can feel a bit greasy or leave some shine - good on sensitive skin, or skin recovering from a lot of sun/dryness, - BUT not a good idea for acne-prone skin due to the oil All in all, it's a nice and fairly cheap moisturizer, but not good for use with acne treatment.

Use after shaving in a dry prairie environment. I like this because I don't notice that it's on my face. It has no scent and doesn't feel clammy after a few minutes. Helps keep my face from getting too oily or too dry, with no extra pointless additives.

Not sticky. Absorbs right into skin. Excellent for sensitive skin. Love it.

Excellent cream and the protective film of moisture it leaves on the skin, which I find is very unique to anything else I have tried.

I liked this face cream mainly because it is a lot more natural than most of what’s out there. It didn’t smell bad though it didn’t smell good either. Adding essential would work well though. The reason I gave it a four star was because it did leave my face a little sticky (it left a residue).

Dont waste your money. I have tried many face moisturizers and this is the worst quality.
