The jar I received is smaller than the one i just finished using. Allso the box had been opened before and was dented. The crea, I received is called Water gel and "aqua gel" The box says "gel cream" It seems ike the same gel but it has a different name and is smaller than the one I bought last time.

Don't get it
Doesn’t hydrate my skin at all no matter how much I pile on. If anything it dries it out more and it’s broken my skin out in an itchy rash and gave me whiteheads. Don’t buy

Dont Try So Hard
I like the feel of this moisturizer, but it adds question to my mind when you have to make it look like there is more product than there is with the use of deceptively tall packaging. Is there another brand out there that I’m missing with a larger size and similar product? I’m on the hunt now!

Destroyed my skin barrier. I tried this in a pinch instead of Clinique moisture surge. I thought I just had dry skin at first and kept using it. My entire eye area is sore, dry and flaky now. My face burns and is dry and cracking in less than a week. This is the only change I made and I have to go to my Derm now for help. This product is awful!

Formula change quality is a joke
Disappointing formula change, immediately caused me to breakout. I’ve used the traditional formula for years, this is horrifying!

Skin car staple
I always come back to this face cream. It really gets the job done. Not too scented doesn’t leave my face feeling too moisturized or dry. I have dry to normal skin and it really works

I’m not sure what consistency this is supposed to be but the product I got didn’t have any “hydro” to it. It was the consistency of dried up slime. It wasn’t possible to get anything out to use. It was also an extremely small amount which would be ok if it was actually usable.

Changed their formula. Smells like plastic
I’ve used this for years. I ordered a new one at the beginning of January, and it smells like plastic now. Thought maybe I got a bad one. Ordered another one to check. It also smells bad. They definitely have changed something. Hope they fix this.

Packaging
The product is fine. But can you ease up on the packaging? It's very deceptive in the way the packaging makes it look like there is more product that their is. The box has filler and so does the actual container. All that adds to waste in the landfill.

This is great for dry skin. I have used it for years. It doesn’t clog pores and gentle.

Amazing! Thank you Tate McRae. It is very thin so it might not be for everyone but I prefer very thin creams.

Missing the Water Gel
Please change it back to the water gel. This is not the same, and not in a good way. This feels greasy, and does not sit well under makeup. Something feels way different than the old formula.

Super small
It’s on me for not paying attention to the size but wow I wasn’t expecting a lotion the size of eye cream container.
