Best purity product yet!
I'm a huge fan of the entire purity line. I have very dry sensitive skin so it works great for me. I've been using this for about a month now (twice a day) and have noticed a huge different in my skin.

Pretty good.
It's not all that different from other moisturizers with this price point. I felt like it did a pretty good job, but it just wasn't anything special, and because of that, I can't justify the price.

I am now starting my second bottle of this purity ultra light moisturizer. I really love it. I use it on my face and my hands, and I am prone to eczema on my hands and it really helps. It doesn't irritate my hands at all.
Amazing
This is all I needed .
Doesn't work well for me
I live in a very dry climate, especially during winter. Even with consistent applying of the moisturizer each time I did skincare, it just seemed it couldn't keep up. It does absorb quickly, but the actual effects of being moisturized seem to only last a couple hours at best. My skin remains dry and peeling (due to the dry climate).
