Oh MB, you never fail me
I love all of Mario Badescu's products that I've tried to far. Along with my clarisonic, his products really work the best with my skin. I have enjoyed this moisturizer more recently because it's been very hot in Texas, and therefore the oil on my skin is over the top! Previously I had used the regular moisturizer, I think it's the collagen one or something. But I wanted to try something a little lighter under my makeup. When my face gets dry in the winter, I will probably switch back to MB's regular moisturizer. Right now, this is doing the job!

Oily
My skin is sensitive, oily and acne prone. It reacts fairly fast to a product that doesn't work for me. I used this twice and broke-out. Too oily for my complexion.

Adequate moisture indeed
I'm using oil free items to reduce acne breakout. Seeing great results. Love this moisturizer for the mornings. Doesn't feel heavy...even though I add foundation over it.
Wish it came in a bigger bottle...

Love it
I have acne prone skin and this does the job of moisturizing without adding extra oil. Its not greasy like most moisturizers who have the spf in them. The bottle is small and I used it daily. It lasted about 3 months! You only need a small amount.

GOOD AS IT GETS
A very gentle, basic, non-greasy, soothing moisturizer with SPF. Many moisturizers w/SPF are irritating to sensitive skin, like mine. Not this one. This product can go up against other high priced fancy moisturizer, and it would win. MB makes great, effective, skin care products that are sanely priced. Try it.

My favorite Moisterizer
I use this cream everyday and love how my skin absorbs it. This is my third time buying it and I give it an A+. Before I started using it, I was having trouble with acne. The dermatologist prescribed Retin A and recommended a SPF 30 oil-free moisturizer, but I didn't like how shinny my face looked. So I decided to try this one with the SPF 17 and let me tell you it did wonders. My face gets the moister I need and it looks great.
