Age Defender Gel Moisturizer

The product has a weird smell, I apply at night before going to bed (after evening shower)

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

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.

lightweight and non-oily - works very well - non-comedogenic!

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

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).

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.

I switched from the Facial Fuel cream moisturizer to this, and was surprised how small the bottle was. I would use the recommended amount, but it wasn’t enough to cover my face. I had to use a lot more than suggested to get full coverage, and it ran out quickly. I’ve been a customer of Kiehl’s for at least a decade, but this product does not live up to their standards (in my opinion).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel moisturizer is the best for my skin type (dry and sensitive) it doesn't feel greasy and I could feel my face breathe when applied compared to some facial creams that make me sweat because it feels like it's much of a heavy cream. I totally would give this product 7 stars but 5 will do!

I previously used the Age Defender moisturizing cream, which I liked but didn’t totally love. So I decided to give the gel a try and was amazed at how perfect it is. I always use the Age Defender serum first (which was previously my favorite product ever), so maybe that makes a difference. But this gel is amazingly smooth, non-greasy, and non-sticky, and it applies extremely evenly. It absorbs very quickly, so it doesn’t leave you with that slimy, “just applied” feeling afterward. I can only assume that anyone NOT giving this 5 stars must simply be using too much (since too much of ANY moisturizer will feel slimy or sticky). That’s why I wish this gel came in a pump like the serum does...to dispense exactly the right amount. The tiniest amount (about the size of a pea) is all you need to do your entire face. I seriously can’t rate this gel highly enough!

I don’t know what the other guys who complain this gel is sticky are doing, but you’re supposed to use a very small amount at a time. In fact, that’s one of the things I like most about it, is how little product you need to use to cover your face. The gel can feel a bit cold when you apply it, and yes it can feel a bit sticky, but after a few seconds that feeling goes away and your skin feels totally fresh. I’d prefer this over other oily creams that make your face feel smothered in grease.

Goes on smoothly, but skin continues to feel sticky hours after applying. Like the back of a post it note. Will try the cream next time.
