Most Helpful Positive Review Fantastic Moisturizer! I received a sample of this product last year in a kit and it is one of the best moisturizers I have ever tried! I used it at night, because I use an SPF moisturizer during the day, and in the morning I couldn't believe how clear and soft my skin was. It has a wonderful intense cooling sensation when you put it on, which is great for the summer months, but I'd recommend sensitive skin types to patch test it first. Overall, I'd say this moisturizer is one of the best out there and is definitely worth a try!
Most Helpful Critical Review Had high hopes for it A Skyn Iceland rep demo'd this on me and she told me all the great benefits I could get from using this product. The cooling sensation really took me by surprise, but I thought that it would probably be good in the long run, especially to treat inflammation. A month went by and the cooling still bugged me as it would last for more than 15 minutes. I would walk out to go to work in the cold morning and my face felt like when you chew gum and drink cold water at the same time. Some might like that, but I found it really unsettling. I also disliked the fact that it was not hydrating at all for my dry spots on my face. The rep said it should help with those areas, but instead my skin would dry back up like I didn't put anything on it. I also just realized there's alcohol in the ingredients and figured that that is probably why my face feels dry when I have it on. Won't be purchasing again in the future, but I do like their other products like the cleanser and serum.

Now, I have to buy the whole line!
I've been purchasing the eye gels for a while and swear by them. They're the hands down best but, I digress, This face lotion is a super power! I'm for real.
What? You have puffy eyes in the morning? Slap some of this on and 1…2…3…. All better!!!!!!
Oh no!!!! Redness from irritation or too much sun? Smooth some of this on and…….Twang!!!!! All better!
This is like a perfect ice cold glass of the most perfect water on a thirsty day you have ever had. Please NEVER change the formula or get rid of! I am a customer for life!!!!!!!
Fantastic for redness! 5
Alexis from Cardiff by the Sea
I have oily, acne prone, red skin and this makes a noticeable difference! My skin is looking a lot calmer after using this.
My favorite everyday moisturizer 5
Melanie from Westminster, Maryland
I have loved this moisturizer for years! I love almost all of the Skyn Iceland products, but this moisturizer is my absolute favorite.
I enjoy anything that provides a cooling sensation and this is IT! Leaves your face feeling fresh, hydrating and minty. Smells wonderful.
Highly recommend.
So good. 5
Britty from Rhode Island
So, this really calms inflammation. You feel it working which is pretty cool. It does the job better than probably any face moisturizer would when it comes to calming the skin. It also moisturizes nicely without leaving a heavy and greasy feeling. I have noticed improvements in my skin since using this. I eat a lot of chocolate and a lot of cheese (LOL) which are both super bad for my skin... the inflammation is there trust me. However, when I started using this, I now feel like my skin is under control.
Very nice but not for dry skin 4
Alyssa from El Paso
I used to use this as my daily face lotion and it was awesome. It has a nice cooling feeling. But my skin type changed and it's just not hydrating enough. No hate, just not what I need anymore. Never made me break out though.
On my 3rd bottle 5
Ennbee from Connecticut
Love this! Especially after a long day/night. Cooing, hydrating, light formula.
All around great for troubled/dry skin 5
RR from Rochester, MI
I have tried various creams and serums and no light weight serum has 1) moisturized 2) not made me break out 3) feels nice
all in one!
When's this on sale again?? 5
RoxyLover from Colo Spgs, CO
This is a holy grail for me. I love how it makes my skin feel and the hydration it provides. It is great for summer months when your skin is hot. I assume menopausal women would also appreciate it's cooling effect. Just sayin'. A bit pricey, but worth it, especially because skyn usually has some great gift with purchase perks. The pump is a bit problematic for getting out every last drop, so I gave it to my mom when that happened and she fell in love with it. Before you judge, she has much more time for skin routines than I do, working full time. =) But i do love the feel of the packaging and until you get to the bottom the pump is quiet convenient. I've tried some other skyn products, this and the eye relief cream are faves.
A Must-Have for Anyone with Hot Flashes! 5
LaciCake from Arkansas
I have trigeminal neuralgia, a very painful neuropathic pain condition. It causes excruciating pain in the face, either sharp electric shocks or deep, burning pain. Like someone has poured gasoline on my face and struck a match. So my face always feels like it's overheated. It makes my whole body feel hot. This lotion saves me every day!! I bought it solely for its cooling properties. It's like opening Mother Nature's Arctic freezer door right in your face! Nothing else works like this does to cool down my overheated face. The fact that it's a light lotion for oily skin means I can use it multiple times throughout the day to help cool my face without it being too heavy/oily and clogging up my pores. Yes, when I use it after washing my face, I sometimes wish it was a bit more moisturizing, but since I use it so much throughout the day, the lightness of it works in my favor. Seriously, if you have hot flashes or get easily overheated in the face, this lotion will be your best friend. Don't use it if you don't wanna freeze. Please never stop making it!!
Truly a Solution for my Stressed Skin 5
Jessica H from Colorado
I'm approaching 27, but because of my hormonal birth control and having to wear a face mask, I have had a resurgence of skin issues. my nose has blackheads and enlarged pores and my t-zone has acne. I've tried all kinds of acne treatments but they tend to strip away all of the moisture in my skin, which is undesirable when battling the harsh arid climate of the Rocky Mountains. This moisturizer doesn't clog my pores or dry me out. It has a minty fragrance and a mentholated effect, but it is mild enough that it calms my skin. Still, spot test your products before you put them on your face. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. It is a moisturizer for acne-prone skin that is replenishing enough for adult skin.
MY SKIN LOVES IT 5
Han from Nc
This product is perfect for a person who wants to feel super clean and fresh. In the morning it helps me wake up and at night I feel cooled and clean. Didn't break me out and I have sensitive/acne prone skin. Wears amazing under makeup!
Refreshing 5
JJ from AZ
I love this product. Got it in an iPsy years ago and continued to get it ever since. Definitely worth it quenches your face as if your face drank a class of cold water
I would buy this product again 5
E Yancey from Clearwater, FL
Love this product makes your skin feel great.
Finally found my moisturizer! 5
Sarah K. from Akron, OH
I have been searching for a moisturizer for my acne-prone combination skin to no avail- until I found this one! I had been using Clinique for a while and I thought it actually was making my skin worse. When I looked at this product, I was initially afraid it might cause me to break out, but quite the opposite! This really does calm my skin, control oil in my t-zone, and leave it soft and smooth all day. I'm very happy with my purchase!
Came Damaged 4
G from Arizona
So I love this face lotion it's very cooling if you have skin that gets flushed. My only hang up is this was shipped in a paper bag and was broke. Such a waste. Ulta needs to pack items better.
This product really helps keep my skin calm. 5
Georgette from CA
It helps keep my skin calm under my mask, less breakouts, than if I wear a mask and don't protect my skin
Wanted to love, but didn't work out 2
ddddme from Texas
When I read the description for this moisturizer, it sounded like it was made just for me. I saw the rave reviews and decided to give it a try. Normally I don't have very sensitive skin, but the "cooling" sensation burned my skin, and this moisturizer actually worsened my redness. I also did not notice a change in my oiliness or acne. I really wanted to love this product, but it didn't work out for me.
Third time buyer 5

I love this moisturizer! The cooling effect is amazing! Skin feels hydrated and it's not greasy at all. Definitely a keeper
LOVE 5

I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and this is such a dream. It feels so good and smells good too!
An oily, acne-prone, stressed skin's dream come true 5
kmr0919 from Maryland
I have had acne-prone skin for most of my teenage and adult life. A lot of acne moisturizers are full of medicated ingredients that are sometimes just too much. When I was introduced to this lotion, my initial impression was how soothed my skin felt with the wonderful menthol tingle. It melted right into my skin, and did not feel thick, greasy, or heavy. It has never caused me to breakout and feels great when my skin is really freaking out. I have tried other moisturizers, but always end up back with this one!
Love this! 5
Kayla from NJ
I have very sensitive & acne prone skin and this is the only moisturizer that has worked for it! It helps reduce my redness and my skin overall looks better. I like the cooling feeling of it too.
Truly is The ANTIDOTE For All My Skin Problems 5
eLRodi from Georgia
There is not one negative thing about this product, except that it seems a bit expensive before you see the results it actually delivers. I received a trial size a while ago & immediately purchased the full size & have been using it ever since. this product does everything it claims & is absolutely one of a kind. The first thing I love is the cooling sensation that feels unlike any moisturizer I've ever come across. it's a feeling of absolute freshness & rejuvenation. This unique quality is definitely what made this product initially stand out to me. This cooling effect is so amazing that it makes it impossible to go back to just any ordinary moisturizer! I have adult acne at age 30, so my Dermatologist recommends moisturizers made for sensitive skin only. there are very few products that don't aggrevate my acne prone skin, & the ones that don't are not hydrating enough for adult skin (most are made for teen skin). Basically, it's difficult to find that a moisturizer made with anti-aging benefits, adequate hydration, while not containing any ingredients that clog pores. After about a month of daily use, morning & night, I have seen a very noticeable difference in my skin: it's smoother & more even toned, post acne marks/discoloration have greatly improved, blackheads have completely cleared up & I haven't had a new "break-out" of acne blemishes, pores seem smaller, my skin never feels dry or irritated & I feel like my skin is just brighter! I recently really put this product to the test when I accidentally burned the side of my face with a flat iron. I was concerned it would leave a permanent scar, but after using a little extra of this moisturizer throughout the day & concentrating it on the area in addition to Neosporin with a bandage to keep the products from rubbing off at night, I'm amazed to say that it's almost completely healed after about a week! I must add that I use the whole "system" of the Icelandic Skyn products, most notably the "Nordic Skin Peel" pads. I also use the cleanser that accompanies these 2 products. All of the results mentioned above I credit to this moisturizer, with or without the other products, because I have been using it longer & noticed these results before adding the other 2 products. If you have issues with adult acne, I definitely would recommend both this moisturizer & the "Nordic Skin Peel" pads. For those without acne being a concern, this moisturizer is the best by far & absolutely worth every penny. it's a large bottle for a facial moisturizer & you only need one pump per use, so the full size 1.76oz bottle really lasts a long time. The bottle is glass, as opposed to plastic, which I love. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with any skin type. The cooling effect & quality ingredients are enough to make me love this product. There is no moisturizer comparable to this, & it's worth the price because it truly delivers the results it claims to deliver!!!
Annoyingly good 5
Chelle from USA
The price is a pain but this stuff really works great. Whenever my skin is screamingly angry, it calms it down. I recently got ahold of a sample of something that left me covered forehead to cleavage in tiny white bumps. Two days of hydrocortisone cream doing nothing, I sucked it up and got this. It's been about six hours. The bumps are shrinking and my skin isn't so red.
Disappointing 2
Ashe from Ohio
I was disappointed in this product. It broke me out, but also the "cooling" feeling does not subside. It made my eyes burn eventually, even though I didn't apply near my eyes, and I had to wash it off. Tried twice and returned. LOVE the brand just not this product.
Holy Grail 5
Stephanie from Michigan
I have been using this product for years. When it goes on sale I literally by 6+ at a time. It's too expensive, but I keep coming back for more. The cooling sensation is unlike any other product I've ever used. It honestly wakes you up in the morning. It's great by itself in the summer however I do find I need to add an additional moisturizer in the winter. I have returned time and time again to buy this product and will continue to do so. Beware though! Although the packaging is beautiful and has a pump, it is frosted glass so if you drop it it will likely break 😢.
