Age Defender Gel Moisturizer

Great moisturizer particularly for individuals wanting a lighter moisturizer. Nice size for travel too.

Very Disappointed

The first few days of using this product seemed to be great, my skin looked and felt amazing. I was so impressed, that I immediately bought a second bottle to take advantage of a deal! But, by day 5, my forehead starting breaking out, then my nose and cheeks. It was as if I was in high school again. Very disappointed.

My favorite moisturizer

Extremely convenient and nicer product which applies easier than cream based product as well as no odor. Does a wonderful job of keeping my skin moisturized and glow.

Good Product

Like it. Good feel and results on skin. Not going to make you 10 years younger but does firm up without feeling greasy

Great moisturizer (if you don't use too much)

This stuff is great. Non-greasy, effectively moisturizing, and nice and light. I use it over the Age Defender serum, and I have no problems. Other reviewers have noted it's sticky; this is only true if one uses too much. A small pea sized amount is all I need. A tube lasted approximately six months of daily use, too. And, my skin is bright and even when using, with no oil slicks through the day or pore issues (in humid western Oregon here).
