Most Helpful Positive Review WOW WOW WOW My skin has recently taken a turn to oily. at first I thought my skin was just dehydrated, but after reading many articles ive come to the conclusion that since I'm becoming older it is normal for your skin to change. ive gone thru multiple moisturizers trying to find one that will help with my oily skin especially in the t zone since I wear makeup every day, and ive ended up returning them all. after so much research on this moisturizer, I bought it and am in love with it! the packaging is also great since It has a pump you don't grab too much product! it really has helped with the oil and leaves my skin so smooth! go Kate Somerville!
Most Helpful Critical Review Disappointed I really wanted to love this product. I have a Kate Somerville cleanser that I love, so I figured the moisturizer would be just as amazing. I was recommended this product by a Kate Somerville sales rep, because I have combination skin and rosacea. The consistency was nice, but I had to use WAY too much product to get an even distribution on my skin. Even after putting it on my skin felt dry. I ended up returning it, but I am super bummed. With the winter coming up, I just want a moisturizer that won't leave me feeling dry.
Reviewed by 578 customers Best oil free moisturizer!! 5
MmChicago from Chicago
I am 35 years old, battling mild to moderate acne since I was 22. This is the best moisturizer I ever tried, it has finally clear my skin!!! (I feel like crying..sigh) I have been using it for about a year now, and my skin is so much better. I have even been able to use ""serum"" at night to help some wrinkles that I have after battling acne with harsh creams even some prescribed ones :(
I have been also to switch to milder Kate Somerville face wash as well, I only use the acne prone face wash around my period when my acne tend to act up a little. Please never discontinue this product!!! Thank you
Love it!! 5
JessaLVP3 from SoCal
Love this moisturizer! I have very oily skin and this has worked wonders. I used to avoid applying moisturizer because my face would look more oily. I love how my skin looks after applying my make up because it looks so smooth and not Cakey like it did with the other moisturizers. It is pricey but it's worth it!
The only one 5
Hansbanans from Whitehall NY
I have oily skin and suffered with acne since I was 13. I'm 28 now, it's significantly better but still has its days. Anyways, I have spent a fortune on moisturizers. I like to try everything new and I keep coming back to this one. It leaves no residue, doesn't feel tight and smells good. Has never caused a breakout. Seriously the best. I don't waste money on new ones anymore
Love the packaging! And product 5
JeSuisJoli from helena Mt
My favorite moisturizer now! It's easy to get the perfect amount out thanks to the pump and it goes on smooth and sinks into my skin quickly. I use it after her cleanser (and my serums) and it really controls my oily skin while not feeling heavy on the skin.
So disappointed 1
MommyLovesMakeup from MN
I like Kate Somerville. I've used many products from this brand so I thought I'd fall in love with this moisturizer. My skin gets very oily so I thought it would be perfect. This has made my skin so dry, it's flaking. It's so thin. It's like regular lotion. I still get oily after a few hours so it doesn't even help there. The packaging is horrible. It's completely falling apart. I've thrown away the packaging so I can't even get a refund. I'm so unhappy with this product.
Have Cystic Acne 5
Emelie from Florida
I've had a really hard time finding a moisturizer that just does what a moisturizer is suppose to do: moisturize. Since I have cystic acne I am already using other treatments and medicine in order to battle it, I did not want something with a treatment in it nor something that would irritate my skin (have super sensitive skin). The moisturizer is light but does the job very well, haven't had any issues with it.
The packaging was something of my concern since I have acne. I don't like jars where you have to put your fingers in the product since it is not very sanitary. Buuuut, this one has a super smart dispenser. It's a little plate you press down on and the product disburse on the plate. Then if you want to keep bacteria to the minimum just clean off the plate with alcohol in between uses. I love it!
Reaction 3
CK from NJ
I received this in a travel size as part of a set. I used it in the evening and woke up with a severe reaction. My face is red, hot to the touch, and itchy. I have sensitive skin, but never had a reaction like this!
Truly amazing! 5
AlwaysTryingNewThings from California
I got this as a free sample with purchase. It is truly amazing. It has significantly reduced the amount of oil that produces on my face. My skin is also so much clearer since using it (maybe less oil has something to do with that!). The finish is so soft and luxurious. I am very impressed.
Allergic reaction... 1
Alyssia from CT
I buy a lot of skin care and makeup because I have acne prone dry skin and not many things work for me. I was using the kate sommerville cleanser and got this moisturizer as a gift. I used it once and the next day I had little hives all over my face. It took a few days to go away and I went to the doctor who told me it was an allergic reaction. Not a good experience, be careful. I also had this reaction to POREfessional if that matters... I liked the texture and pump though, just wish I could have used it since it was so expensive.

Great for oily skin 5
Laura from Boston
Splurged on this moisturizer after trying everything for oily skin. This moisturizer keeps skin hydrated and gives the perfect amount of moisture to make your skin look healthy and soft. Leaves you with a beautiful healthy glow.

Disappointed. 1
Kenz from USA
I received a sample of this and their dry skin saver moisturizers. I was so excited to use, since I love everything from Kate. I had the worst allergic reaction. All over my face and down my neck. Awful hives, swelling, and itching. Can not use their moisturizers, but I will continue to use their other products.
Holy Grail 5
Emily E. from Undisclosed
This is the only moisturizer that works for me. It absorbs quickly, creates a good base for makeup, and never leaves me greasy. Love it!
Works without greese 4
Shelby R. from Undisclosed
I liked this moisturizer more than most. My skin gets oily very easily, so this was a nice fit.
Glorious skin 5
Cindy E. from Undisclosed
After using this moisturizer my skin is so smooth and soft that all I want to do it touch it. It keeps shine at bay, and is the perfect addition to my skin care routine.
Best Oil-Free Moisturizer Out there 5
Cathryn A. from Undisclosed
This leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, but doesn't make my skin look oily or breakout at all. It's the best oil-free moisturizer I've tried, and I've used quite a few. Plus the push-down bottle makes for the perfect portion of use so nothing goes to waste.
Wonderful Moisterizer! 5
Rebecca L. from Undisclosed
This moisterizer is lightweight and absorbs quickly into skin making for easy makeup application right after using. I never feel greasy when using this product, but it always leaves my skin moisturized. Will definitely buy again!
LOVE 5
Maddie M. from Undisclosed
Great daily moisturizer for acne-prone skin. Keeps skin clear and feels light on skin.
Very good 4
Nicoleta C. from Undisclosed
I was looking for a good moisturizer for some time. This one is light weight, absorbs fast and is good for my combination skin. The price is affordable and I will continue using it.
Amazing! 5
Pui H. from Undisclosed

Love this moisturizer 5
Mary A. from Undisclosed
I have been using this oil free moisture for years now. It makes my skin feel so hydrated but doesn't clog my pores. I can't live without this product!!
Great moisturizer for oily skin. 4
Laura S. from Undisclosed
If you've never tried this product, what are you waiting for? This is one of my very favorite products in the Kate Somerville line. It makes my face feel clean and smooth.
Can't Live Without it! 5
Emily E. from Undisclosed
This is the only daytime moisturizer I use. I absorbs instantly, layers well with sunscreen and makeup, and doesn't break me out! Nothing else can compare.
What they say is true... 4
Nicole M. from Undisclosed
This is a nice light-weight (thin, not thick consistency) and non-greasy (it rubs in quickly) moisturizer. It leaves a lovely scent (even though I don't think there is an added fragrance). I think it works well on dry skin too.
