i've tried so many moisturizers over the years- so the fact that i've re-purchased this one 4 or 5 times says a lot. the gel is so refreshing and light- i have oily skin with some dry patches, and in the cold dry winter, it really needs moisture, too. i love this, and after trying so many other things, and talking to beauty advisors, i'll never stray from this. such a great product!
