Extremely disappointing
If you're looking to replace Estee Lauder's oil-free Day Wear, this is NOT it. I used their oil free moisturizer for years but was unable to find it recently, I went with what I thought was the closest substitute, but it is nothing like the oil free. This product is very thin and does not moisturize at all. After applying it, my skin is as dry as if I'd used nothing at all, My foundation 'sticks' inserted of gliding on smoothly. I'm looking for another oil-free moisturizer.

Too Dry for Combo Skin
I have been a long time user of the regular DayWear cream and loved it. I have combination skin, sometimes oily later in the day. I tried out the DayWear Matte and it was MUCH too dry for me. I think this would be a good product for VERY oily skin, but definitely not for anyone who considers themselves combination. I also didn't realize until I returned it that it doesn't have SPF in it, and the regular DayWear does. Nordstrom happily let me exchange it for the regular DayWear and that's going to be what I stick with.

Worth the price!
Finally a face lotion that’s worth the price! I have combination skin, but my t-zone postpartum has been very oily. This lotion is perfect for my skin!

Best Day Cream
I use this non greasy moisturizer in the morning on a clean face before I apply my makeup. Brightens up my face and keeps the shine away too. Very light and perfect for the warmer weather days too!

The Best for Oily Skin
I bought this several months ago at Dillard's and it is one of the best face products I've ever used. It is fabulous. It is a matte gel specifically formulated for oily skin. I can use this during the day and my oily skin is not greasy. I love this stuff! I put it on at night and it helps keep the oil under control and my face moisturized. My face has not broken out using this and it is not too oily. I really think it is helping to normalize my skin. The smell is faint but fresh and clean and the color is soothing. I like this product a lot better than Clinique's gel moisturizer. I'm so glad I found Lauder's matter gel creme. Lauder also make a similar product for eyes, an eye gel creme that I am looking forward to purchasing. Thank you Lauder for making this fabulous product. Man I love this stuff!!!
