Dermalogica Active Moist

I have the oiliest skin on the planet and every other moisturizer makes me look like a grease trap by noon but this one actually sinks in and stays matte. It is a super lightweight lotion that feels more like a tall drink of water than a heavy cream.

Honestly I love that it is oil free because I am so prone to those annoying little whiteheads. This gives me just enough hydration to stop that tight feeling without clogging a single pore on my face.

I have been using this since high school and even though I try other fancy brands I always come back to it. It is just the most reliable basic moisturizer for anyone who hates the feeling of heavy product on their skin.

There is no fake perfume smell which is a huge win for my sensitive nose. It just smells clean and professional like you just walked out of a high end facial.

I noticed my skin texture looks much smoother since I started using this consistently. It has silk amino acids in it and I can actually feel that velvety finish after it dries down.

A little bit goes a long way with this bottle. I only need about a pea sized amount to cover my whole face and neck so the tube lasts me forever.

The texture is very thin and almost watery which is perfect for the summer heat. I can put it on and immediately go in with my sunscreen and makeup without anything pilling or sliding off my cheeks.

I love the tube packaging because it is way more hygienic than those jars where you have to dip your fingers in. It is also really easy to throw in a gym bag or a suitcase.

My husband actually started using this because he hates lotion but he likes that this disappears into his skin immediately. It is a great unisex product for anyone who wants a simple routine.

I catch myself reaching for this every morning especially when it is humid outside. It keeps my skin feeling breathable and fresh all day long.

If you have combination skin where your nose is oily but your cheeks are dry this is the perfect middle ground. It hydrates the dry spots but doesn't make the oily parts worse.

It is definitely worth the money because the quality is just so much higher than drugstore brands. My skin doesn't get that suffocated feeling that cheap moisturizers usually give me.

I noticed I don't get as many breakouts when I use this. I think it is because it keeps my skin balanced so my face doesn't overproduce oil to compensate for being dry.

The plant extracts like lemon and burdock really seem to help with my pore size. My skin just looks more refined andtight in a good way.

I use this right after the multi-active toner and the two together are the perfect lightweight duo for my oily skin. It is like a moisture sandwich that isn't heavy at all.

I bought the larger sized bottle and it is the best value. It lasts me nearly a year and the pump makes it so easy to use every morning.

It doesn't leave any weird shiny film on my face. I can go totally bare-faced and my skin just looks naturally healthy instead of oily or waxy.

I am in my 30s and still deal with adult acne and this is one of the few things that keeps me hydrated while I use my harsh acne treatments.

I took this to a tropical climate on vacation and it was the only thing that didn't make me feel sweaty the second I stepped outside. It is very cooling and light.

It is very easy to blend. I don't have to tug at my skin to get it to absorb which is great because I am trying to be as gentle as possible.

I noticed that my foundation actually stays on longer. Since my skin isn't pumping out extra oil to fight dryness my makeup doesn't break up as fast.

It is just a classic for a reason. If you want a no-nonsense moisturizer that does exactly what it says on the bottle this is the one you need to get.

I love that it is cruelty free and vegan. Knowing that the brand cares about that stuff makes me feel a lot better about spending my money on it.

It is a solid 5 star product for me. It is the only moisturizer I have found that actually hydrates without making me feel like I have a layer of grease on my face.
