I didn't buy this because I don't want to spend $38 for a moisturizer when I could get one for less (approx. $1 less) with an spf of 30. But this is a nice product. It didn't burn my skin, cause any allergic reactions or clog my pores and cause more breakouts and blackheads. I have acne-prone, sensitive skin that is combo. The lotion is light-weight but it is not oil-free. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and moisturized. It has a scent which may bother the smell sensitive but it just smells like regular sunscreen to me. It comes in two formulas. One for oily to normal skin and one for normal to dry skin. My skin has been peeling recently but it didn't peel as much as when I used this (though it may have been the water I was drinking). It supposedly replenishes the elastin and collagen in your skin but since I am still in my early teens, I don't know if it works. The Laura Mercier MA said that during a class she attended for skin care, the man who was teaching, put some of the mega-moisturizer on his hand after putting oil on it. The cream soaked up all the oil but still moisturized his hand . This is a really nice product and if I don't get the moisturizer from PTR, I will look into buying it.
