Most Helpful Positive Review Cured my flaking skin! This cream saved my skin! I've been using an OTC retinoid to manage mild hormonal acne and skin texture, and while it works well, my skin always flakes the next day. The ONLY cream that prevents and heals the flaking for me is this Face Base cream. It soaks in very well, doesn't sit on top of the skin, and is very rich. Not a huge fan of the fragrance but it's not a bad smell, just strong. Sometimes I feel I need to apply a little more later in the day (heater blowing on my face at my desk) and it blends perfectly into my BB cream/sunscreen even if I already applied it! Usually a moisturizer will pill any suncreen or bb cream on my face if I put it on after. If I remember to apply an occlusive on top, I don't need to reapply this cream at all. It may be too heavy for me come summer, but for now it is a dry skin holy grail!
Most Helpful Critical Review not for sensitive skin To be honest,I like the way this makes my skin feel, it does feel more hydrated when I use it, but it causes burning around my nose. I do have rosacea, so I assume that's why, but I thought it would be gentle enough. I would not recommend for very sensitive skin/rosacea and it dries so fast.

beauty.supreme1 from Chicago
So I have combination skin sometimes very dry or very oily or both but this cream ? Love it my face stays like normal??? No idea how to explain but I use to use the face base by bobbi and I loved it but it was so expensive and left me all oily. 10/10 recommend this.
Great for Eczema/Contact Dermatitis 5
Kaci L from Charlotte, NC
I've been using this for about a month or so now for my regular moisturizer and it's amazing, I'm usually very dry, this has helped a ton. I randomly thought to put it on my forearm where I've been having an eczema flare up and it was gone in 2 days. Highly recommend for daily moisture and where ever else you need it!
Shook 5
MStr7 from Madison, WI
I think I have more oily skin than dry skin and this line caters to people with dry skin. I love the lip balms and was always curious about this line, so I bought a set when it was on sale. I'm very surprised at the results I've gotten. I use this with the Lano Gel Cream Cleanser (which I highly recommend) and I'm amazed at how clear my skin has been staying and how bright and soft it feels. It does have a slightly old lady smell to it so if you're sensitive to that you might not want to try. I'm also surprised at how light it is (unless you put too much on). If you have dry skin, or maybe "normal" or combo skin, you might want to give it a try.
Maybe ok on its own, but no as a base 1
Not a fan from 94533
Why do I feel like you have to work so fast with this?? I do use as a base for my makeup tho. I heard it was a dupe for bobbi brown vitamin e face bears but miss lano.... you CANNOT compete where u don't compare

The best moisturizer I've ever used 5
Kaylee from Florida
I struggle to find a moisturizer that quenches my dry/acne prone skin without breaking me out and baby this is IT. This literally makes my skin feel like velvet. It has a nice, neutral scent and it goes on thick but instantly melts into your skin once you rub it in. I never want to be without this stuff!!
Wanted to love it but... 1
Em from Texas
The consistency is nice at first but it dries fast and feels like you're rubbing wax on your face. My face felt so dry and itchy a while later after applying sooo definitely not for sensitive skin. Also a little pricey for the size of the bottle..
Calm velvet 5
Lucy G from CA
Honestly, it nourishes my skin— I just feel like things are under control and being taken care of when I use this.It never bothers my skin. Recommend it for skin that needs a rest.
My Holy Grail 5
Manda from Michigan
This product gives me life. Like it makes my skin look better instantly after I apply. The only moisturizer I have used that prevents my skin from looking cakey or textured under concealer. It smells good. I bought on sale and now about to buy 2 more because yeah I'm obsessed now
I love this! 5
Soph from KCMO
I bought this while it was on sale and purchased another immediately after the first time I used it. I use this as a primer under my makeup and on top of my normal moisturizer. I've got very dry skin and this works better for me than any of the high end primers I've used.
Love it 5
Yesi from Memphis, TN
I love using this cream under my makeup and alone! Makes my face super soft and makes makeup apply smoothly. Once you put some on your fingers, make sure to apply fast!
Holy grail 5
Bee from USA
100 percent will repurchase. Amazing base for under makeup.
Good moisturizer 4
Jen from Chicagoland
Full disclosure: I've only used this once so far. It's full-on summer and while I liked the overall feel and it absorbed well, it was just a little too thick for the current season. I expect to use it more during fall and winter, when my skin needs the moisture. I expect to love it though, based on my initial experience.
Absolutely amazing 5
Lulu from Texarkana, TX
I have dry skin and most moisturizers sink in but I'll still have dry patches. Especially when I wear makeup, dry skin shows until now. This stuff is amazing. I bought one to try, fell in love so I got online immediately to purchase more. I was a little put off by the price but it's worth it. I will continue to buy it as long as I can. It feels great on the skin without being oily or greasy. My skin feels healthy and I love that I can add it to my foundation if needed. Great stuff!!
Great moisturizing base 5
Klint from Texas
I saw that this was a dupe for the Bobby Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base and I wanted to try it out. It did not disappoint, very hydrating with a very mild fragrance. I recommend this to anyone who uses moisturizer either alone or under makeup to give the skin a great base. Amazing product!
Awesome product! 5
Xosam from CT
Love this product!!! I have combination very acne prone sensitive skin and literally took months for me to use this product in fear of breaking out. I finally tried it and omg, it is awesome!!! Doesn't break me out at all and provides all the moisture I need.
Yes!!! 5

My new favorite day cream 5
MaHi from Florida
I'm over 40, and I have rosacea. My skin has always been oily, but my cheeks and forehead are becoming dry lately. This cream leaves my skin hydrated and nourished without feeling greasy. I absolutely love that it doesn't smell perfumed; it has a light, natural scent that doesn't linger.

Good for under makeup for dry skin 5
Marylo from Baltimore, MD
I love this moisturizer! I have very sensitive, dry skin, and this has moisturized without irritating my skin. I don't really notice a problem with it being slow to absorb. I use it under my makeup and it works really well! The smell isn't great, but it's not worth removing a star over. The smell doesn't linger, either, so you don't have to worry about it once it's on your face. It's very hydrating and very smoothing. I'll definitely be repurchasing!
I am very pleased with this product 5
sarabelle from Tennessee
I've been using this moisturizer for about a month now. It is very thick in consistency, which is good for my dry skin. It does NOT leave my face sticky or greasy, and I haven't noticed any clogged pores while using it. The ONE AND ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is the scent. It's not a ~bad~ smell, it's just... different. I'm not sure how to explain it. However, the benefits are 100% worth it. Also, I use this morning AND night. And a little does NOT go a long way. That being said, I've only used for a month and I have less than half a tube. If they made it in a bigger container, I would for sure buy it.
Great Moisturizer 4
Panda08 from Greenville, TX
This product comes out very thick like the consistency of a mineral sunscreen. It rubs in well and leaves my skin super soft, with no tackiness, stickiness, or greasiness. The only reason I took off a star is because it has a noticeable "baby powder" scent to it, which is disappointing considering their other products such as their 101 ointment, and Original LanoStick are both fragrance-free/flavorless. Maybe I will have better luck with a different Lano product.
The ace of face base 5
Lipstick Lawyer from Phoenix
This is a great product - moisturizing with a slight tackiness that really helps foundation lay and wear like perfection. I use this daily, and I hope they never stop making it. Love.
Amazing! 5
V from FL
I tend to have dry skin, so pairing this with their Face Base Gel Cleanser makes my morning routine super simple and hydrating!
Great for dry skin 5
Allison from Houston
I have really bad dry patches on my chin area and I used re apply my other moisturizer multiple times. Then I switched to the 101 ointment and applied it just to my dry spots, but when this came out I had to try it. I've been using it for about 3 months and my skin isn't dry or flaky. It is a bit thick but I don't think it would help my dry skin as much if it wasn't. LOVE this product
