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.

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.

Not good
I really wanted to like this after all of the glowing reviews but it has consistently broken my skin out. My skin was fine when using Clinique then I switched to this and within weeks my face was constantly breaking out. I’m sad I wasted money on this

Hi
I am obsessed with everything about this product but the price. The container is super cute and the moisturizer itself is so lightweight and absorbs so quickly into your skin. I prefer for moisturizers to not feel like vaseline so this texture was perfect for me.

Great product
Great product. Grabbed the water gel one by accident as it’s for normal to dry skin. I needed the other one. In this summer season and post nursing/hormone changes I’ve had oily skin. This particular one isn’t good for oily skin but will be saving for winter time. Make sure you get what your skin needs, makes a difference.

Awesome
The texture is thin and absorbs into the skin very fast. I use this under a sunscreen in the AM. It blends well with my sunscreen without pilling. I've been using this for almost 3 years.

Great moisturizer
Great simple moisturizer. The packaging is great, I love that it’s in a glass jar. All clean ingredients. Will not clog your pores. It leaves your skin so glowy and radiant. No smell, great texture, moisturizing and non irritating. This is coming from someone who has extremely sensitive acne prone skin. Try it out! And it’s affordable so that’s great.

Was better before the "new formula"
I used the water gel moisturizer for nearly two decades, then Neutrogena changed the formula and the Gel Creme 1) doesn't moisturize as much and 2) makes me break out now. I'm glad it still works for some people, I'm just annoyed that they'd change a perfectly good product just to save a couple of bucks when there was no real reason to.
