Prevents Skin from Peeling
After incorporating Retinol into my routine, I’ve been struggling with my skin peeling. This moisturizer is heavy (and a little goes a long way), but it’s nearly eliminated those frustrating white flakes and patches I was waking up to several times each week. This product is definitely for nighttime-only use because it doesn’t disappear after application, but it works well following the Retinol application for me.

Amazing!
This moisturizer literally melts as you apply it. It's easily absorbed and leaves my skin hydrated all day. I have recently started using Elta MD products based on LovelySkin's recommendations. I couldn't be happier with this moisturizer and all the Elta MD products.

"Melting" Moisturizer
When I first used this moisturizer I was a bit surprised at the "type" and consistency of it. I had planned to use it as my night moisturizer. I figured it would be a rich cream since it was labeled as "intense". It's actually more like an ointment or balm, but not as heavy or greasy. It does immediately "thin out" similar to a serum upon application. It does a nice job of moisturizing and my face does not react to it like other creams I've used.

Creates an Effective Moisture Barrier
I’m always on the lookout for an effective moisture barrier for the drier areas of my face and neck. Elta’s moisturizer works really well for having such basic ingredients, and even though it’s fairly greasy, it soaks into my dry skin pretty quickly. I’ll even press a bit onto extra dry areas after my moisturizing sunscreen. Very reasonably priced and you don’t need a lot at one time—will definitely repurchase!

Excellent for Moisture...
This has been my very favorite for a long time. I have very dry skin and I put this one on last, at night, and let it do its thing overnight. I absolutely love it. It was originally recommended to me by my dermatologist because any retinol product makes my face peel. Add this on top at night and it will repair any problems. Large tube, last a long time. You have to buy two tubes at a a time, so be careful not to let it get too warm or it does have a tendency to become more liquid like (oil?).

This stuff is amazing. I love it. It is moisturizing for overly dry skin. It is easy to apply and it is so softening, It is not greasy on my skin even though it seems like it would be, It soaks right in and it feels great. I will be repurchasing this. I love Elta MD products and happy I can purchase them here at a great price.

Husband loves!
This is a great moisturizer!! My husband has a hard time with a lot of lotions not fully absorbing in his skin. This is thick but it magically melts into his skin!

Melts into skin
I use this as a last layer of my skin care routine at night. It literally melts into skin and keeps my layers of moisturizer underneath stay. I also use for rough areas such as elbows and knees. Great and fungal acne safe!

Amazing daily and post-procedure moisturizer!
I swear by all Elta MD products and this one is no exception. I live in CO and during the winter cold and dryness, this product is a lifesaver. My feet and hands love it. It also heals my skin after autoimmune flares and after laser procedures. I love that LovelySkin carries the full line, the products are authentic and prices can’t be beat!

Night-Time Moisurizer
I have dry skin, and need a good intense face moisturizer for night-time. I also have very sensitive skin, and have to be very careful, since I've had reactions to many facial products. I use this product before bed and love it. It provides intense moisturizing, but doesn't irritate my skin at all.

Major Moisture!
Half a dime sized amount. Overs the entire face and neck! Wow...this tube will last a lifetime. This is very rich and is perfect for dry winter months. I haven’t broken out and it seems to be improving my very dry areas.

A must have
I’ve been experimenting with retinols and this is a must have for anyone going through retinization. It’s also a fantastic occlusive for dry skin and burns. So much better than the French cult favorite that starts with a B. This has no fragrance and no parabens.

EltaMD Intense moisturizer lives up to its claims
My skin is like the Sahara. Most times, I will apply moisturizer, and my skin is still dry after I have applied. I use this with a little bit of my regular cream moisturizer and my skin feels so good. I use in the AM and PM. I am sorry it took me so long to find this product. It is a very large container and will last a long time, if I could give more than five stars I would.

Dermatologist had me use this following laser treatment. Takes a while to soak into skin but very moisturizing.

Gentle Moisturizer
I was introduced to this gentle moisturizer by my dermatologist to use as part of my post laser procedure care. It proves to be a very gentle and effective moisturizer for my sensitive skin. I would highly recommend this product to others, especially those who have sensitive, reactive skin.

Excellent Moisturizer to use with Tretinoin
I use Tretinoin every nigh for aging purposes, and I found my skin irritated and dry. So, I tried this moisturizer, and I fall in love immediately. I use it before and/or after vitamin A, and I solved the problem. Also, once a week I use only the moisturizer (more quantity) as a mask and next day my skin looks amazing. Thank you, Elta MD and LovelySkin, for the discounts.
