What They Say: "Infuse your skin with moisture! This ultra-charged moisturizer delivers 16 skin-essential elements including Calcium, Zinc and Manganese to keep skin hydrated all day. Oil-free, water-smooth texture leaves skin glowing with health. SPF 15. "

My Experience:  Since the beginning of winter, my face has been unbelievably dry.  My normal moisturizers just weren't doing the trick, and would often leave me with dry patches by lunchtime.  When I read that this product is supposed to continuously moisturize your skin during the day, I had to give it a try.  My experience with it has been mixed at best.  Let me just say first that it feels very cooling and luxurious on my face -- it feels really, really good.  It's easy to put a lot of it on your face.  I've been using it for a little more than a month on a daily basis, and I've used up more than half of the container.  It goes pretty quickly.  When I put on too much, it doesn't dry well, and when I apply a base or foundation on top of it, it doesn't mix well and creates clumps of makeup on my face.  Not too attractive, I tell you.  When I put on too little, I don't notice that it moisturizes as well, leading me to believe that I am right in being kind of heavy handed.  My only other complaint is that it smells rather strongly of cucumbers.  If you're a big cucumber fan, this may be for you, but I thought the scent was a turn off.

Tips:  Experiment to find the smallest effective amount of moisturizer for your skin type.  I like to apply a smaller amount right after I get out of the shower in the morning to trap in some of that moisture and reduce the need to layer it so heavily.  I then blow dry my hair and get dressed before attempting to put any makeup on top of it.
