Most Helpful Positive Review Absorbs into the skin quickly I purchased this cream when it launched. I have been using this face cream every day. I have combo to oily skin, and this product does not make my face more oily. It has a thick consistency and works well under makeup.
Most Helpful Critical Review Only for no makeup days I really like this cream and wear it every day I don't plan on wearing face makeup, besides a little power to tone down the SPF shine. But it is NOT a good base under makeup. Almost every liquid/cream makeup product I've tried, including some other elf products, absolutely does not work with this. It pills up and looks like it just peels off, so it will just give your skin a really bad texture and the SPF is gone (I'm assuming). I also wish it had less shine but it is SPF so I can't be too mad. If they had higher SPF options I would consider buying again.

This product is SOO moisturizing and gentle on my extremely sensitive skin. There is no white cast, and it provides a slight glow to the skin. I am absolutely in love with this product and 100% will be buying again.
Caused painful breakouts 2
Erica from USA
I wanted to like this so bad! I use the regular (fragrance free) holy hydration moisturizer almost everyday and I absolutely love it. I bought this thinking I'd like it just as much and I do, BUT it caused me to break out in really painful whiteheads. It feels really nice on the skin and it isn't too greasy, but if you have acne prone skin I'd stay away from this.
Ehh. 3

I enjoyed using this product despite the fact that it would peel on my face and skin as well as burning my eyes. Yet I did not like the oily finish it would leave even though I have dry skin.
Fantastic hydration cream 5
Kimmy42 from Reading Berkshire
Love this face cream, goes on really well and skin feels super hydrated, smells lovely too
Favorite moisturizer after a long search 5
mljane6 from United States
This moisturizer is perfect for my combo, sensitive skin. It's nourishing and sets well. I prefer to pair it with the elf hydrating serum.
Simple, light and moisturizing. 5
KaylaM from Anderson, CA
Got this as freebie and so glad I did. I've never been big on any face cream because they feel to heavy. This stuff is amazing, light weight smells great and had helped my skin so much in just the month I've been using it. I just order another jar because I love it so much. It's also great to use under light make up.
Not my favorite 3
Ellie from DEN
It does the job and it's great for day to day, but it does pil on my skin especially my neck. For reference, I have combo dry skin that's very sensitive to heavy fragrances. The regular Holy Hydration (FF) works great for my skin, but this is just meh. It also burns my eyes so I have to work around that area.
Nice 4
tdunn from Ohio
I bought this because I LOVE the regular holy hydration cream but this one does not have the same texture/hydrating feel. It has a strong spf scent but eventually you either get used to the scent or it fades away. My real problem with this product is that it pills / rolls off. Due to this layering it under make up or even wearing too much of is a no because of the excessive pilling.
I love it ! So hydrating !! WOULD BUY AGAIN 5
Officefan22 from Chester va
So I have only been using this for about two weeks, I use it once in the morning and once at night. (I use it at night due to the fact it's so moisturizing, I had recently purchased the moisturizing face cream from "original" and I found that it wouldn't keep my skin hydrated throughout the night.
It doesn't stick to my mask at work, but still keeps my face hydrated through the day. So I love this cream! And it's a plus that it has SPF in it. Will definitely buy again when I run out.
Love!! 5
Nat from Colorado
Absolutely love this! I'm always on the lookout for a good moisturizer with SPF and knew I had to try this when I saw how affordable it was. It absorbs nicely and is very moisturizing! Highly recommend!
Good 4
Hannah from Pgh
I use this in the morning. It's good moisturizer and I have dry skin. I still like to put sunscreen on top tho because I'm not sure how potent the sunscreen is in a moisturizer but something is better than nothing.
Great 5
Pao from North east coast
Great moisturizer. Does not leave my face shiny, spf smell goes away after a few seconds and does not clog pores at all. No white cast left either.
So Good! 5

Heather from Stapleton NE
I use every morning! I don't even need to add a primer! This works as a moisturizer and primer! It's awesome!
This is my holy grail SPF 5
sodapop from undisclosed
I have dry skin and live in a sunny region, so I am constantly in need of moisturizer and SPF. After many products after many years, I can confidently say that this is my holy grail SPF. It soaks into the skin easily and really, it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing anything (even after slathering it all over my face).
great under makeup 5
kserrao from virginia
I use this every day for sun protection and moisture! Love it
Not greasy! 5
cakik from undisclosed
I love love this hydrating sun screen. It is not greasy like usual ones. I use it on my face before make-up and it goes well with my foundation.
Definitely a must have!!! 5
Xireh from Florida
I won't lie yall I never used SPF! And I live in the sunshine state so you would think SPF is part of my daily routine but…it never was. That all changed once I really started changing my skin care and all other cares. This moisturizer feels good, is good for you and worked beautifully with my makeup. It didn't cause me to be extra greasy. I had no white cast after putting on my makeup. This is a gem for a steal of a price. I love the texture of it. It seems thick but goes on so creamy and smooth. I am super impressed by it.
Good Moisture but not for me 3
Tiffany from California
This was really good for moisture but after extended use, it would cause me to break out. I really wanted to love it but I think it was just too greasy and thick for my acne prone skin
Not oily 5
002M from Texas,TX
I enjoy have this hydrating cream hydrates my face and also applies SPF. I was skeptical about wearing this cream and then applying makeup but it does so well! I love it!
Excellent! 5
Aanuza from KY
I have been using this for around a month. I like it so far. I wish it was a little cheaper cause am already running out of it.
Feels amazing on my skin! 5
Cevans from Stansbury Park, Utah
I have dry skin in the winter especially and this works great for me. It's very hydrating without being heavy.
My favourite 5
MrsDuff from Doncaster UK
I first tried the mini cream and loved it so bought a full size one, then i saw this with the added SPF I it and had to try it. This cream is fantastic at keeping my skin hydrated and looking its best. Its also the first cream I've actually finished a tub of too.
Highly recommended!! 5
Maggie from Utah

Great for Normal, Combo, Dry skin skin type 5
Suz6886 from Colorado
A little goes a long way careful with eye area it will burn! It has fragrance does not smell like sunscreen more like citric floral, keeps me moisturized through out the day looking glowing, works great underneath makeup too. It be nice if ELF made a SPF 50 fragrance free :)
