Justisa
Amazing for sensitized skin , sleek packaging, I put mine in a skin care fridge and it feels super refreshing every time I apply. It is a basic formula but I use a lot of serums so it works for me. Would definitely recommend.
Jennifer
I LOVE this creme for day time. I can honestly say...WOW, what a visible difference. Your skin DOES glow, naturally, because it hydrates and soothes. I let it sink in for a minute and then follow with daily light foundation, and it doesnt make my makeup slide off.
Molly
If you have dry skin, you need this product! I dont know how they made this product lightweight yet still have such an emollient feeling. It feels rich upon application but sinks right into the skin. I apply this after serum in the morning. A dream routine!
Holly
My skin eats this lotion up. I've been using it for years as it was originally recommended by my skincare specialist. Its absolutely amazing day or night. I scoop mini amounts into travel size containers for when I travel. I cant recommend this lotion enough!
Melissa
I always have this moisturizer on hand, but its so expensive and seems to go by so fast! It is smooth and a fantastic moisturizer. I mix it with another product to extend the life. I love this brand and will definitely buy this again.
Jessica
I'm a regular user who fluctuates between normal to dry/dehydrated skin. I bought this to use as a night moisturizer. It didnt work out because the cream just sat on top of my skin. I used very little cream, but it still gave me greasy-looking skin.
Sabine
I bought this hoping it would be a good substitute for another moisturizer. While it does moisturize pretty well, every couple of days I would get an "itchy spot" - something that never happens with the other one. Still trying to figure out what to do!
Lisa
After 25 years of trying different night creams, I have found my forever night cream. This is the first time I have bought a second jar of anything. Through dry and humid weather, this cream leaves my 64-year-old skin feeling hydrated and supple.
Petal
Emollience had a medium consistency and provided a light layer of protection for my dry and mature skin. However, it did not feel any more nourishing than other moisturizers at a lower price point. Im not sure I would recommend this for sensitive skin.
Cody
I loved the first container of this product, but when I purchased my second jar, my skin began showing irritation and dry patches. After 5 weeks of use, I started noticing my skin suffering from severe irritation and dryness, which was very disappointing.
Ellen
I continue to return to this moisturizer every time. It is rich, but not heavy, and keeps my face feeling healthy. It has no strong scent, and it absorbs well without feeling greasy. It is worth the price!
Michelle
My winter skin was setting in, and I needed a rich moisturizer. This cream is wonderful and feels great on my skin. It is not heavy and soaks in right away. I use it at night after applying retinol, and I wake up with no flakes in the morning.
Celia
I have been using this moisturizer for years. It works so well that I now use it year-round as my night moisturizer. My skin looks healthy and glowing, and I have received many compliments.
Jessie
I bought this when my skin was dry and tight with a patch of eczema. After a few weeks of using it, I noticed a big improvement. Now my skin is no longer dry, and this product was worth every cent.
Natalie
I love this stuff! It is my go-to moisturizer for winter daytime use and at night over retinol. It feels creamy but light, not greasy, and very moisturizing. I use a heavier cream when I need it, but this one is versatile and effective.
Sarah
I have been using this moisturizer in the morning for a few weeks, and it has improved the texture of my dry, sensitive, mature skin. It also helps my foundation apply easily. The fact that it has no fragrance is a huge plus!
Tiffany
This is my favorite moisturizer! I use it year-round because it is lightweight but can be layered for more hydration in the winter. It is gentle on my sensitive skin and lasts a long time. I will never use another moisturizer again!
Lisa
Seems like the formula has changed. I’ve purchased this product for years! The previous was white and a thicker compound. What arrived was lighter and off-white in the Emollience package. I ordered directly from the website.
Aundrea
This is a great cream for the winter! I have oily T-zone and normal skin, but during winter, I get a little dry. This cream balances my dryness without making me greasy. I use it at night and sometimes in the summer more sparingly.
Donna
I love this moisturizer! I have aging and sensitive skin. I have been using it for years, and it is my favorite daytime moisturizer. It absorbs quickly, and sunscreen and makeup go on smoothly. Leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft.
Rhonda
I purchased this for my dry winter skin, and it fits the bill perfectly. It has just the right amount of moisture and the texture is perfect—not too light or too heavy. It also has a cooling sensation, which I love!
Taylor
SkinCeuticals makes superior products. However, this one is clogging my pores. Everything else about it is fabulous, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t work for me.
Natasha
I only bought this because my regular product was out of stock. This turned out to be amazing! My skin looks clearer, smoother, and glows. It balances my combination skin perfectly. Far better than what I was expecting!
Emily
This is perfect for soothing and plumping sensitive skin. I've been undergoing chemotherapy, and this product has improved my complexion. My skin is soft, plump, and hydrated. I will definitely keep buying this product.
Gale
This is my favorite cream for day and night because I have very dry skin. It works well with my serum and other products. It sits nicely under makeup, and I don’t use foundation anymore since my skin looks so healthy.
Donna
I have aging and sensitive skin, and this is my favorite product. I use it every morning, and it absorbs quickly before I apply sunscreen and makeup. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated, and I will continue to purchase this moisturizer.
Sarah
I have dry, sensitive skin, and this moisturizer is perfect. It is light and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated with fewer fine lines. I have used it for years and will continue to use it.
Natalie
I have normal to dry, sensitive skin and live in Minnesota. Many moisturizers sit on top of my skin and dont give enough moisture. I LOVE Emollience. It gives a good amount of moisture that lasts the entire day and absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy feeling.
Cherry
Unbelievable skin care! Friends all want to know why my skin looks so good. I will continue with this product as long as I can keep it in my cabinet! It is amazing for the face.
Lisa
I haven't ordered in maybe 6 months, but when I did, the cream had changed. It used to be rich and creamy, but now it is watery. I need to use a lot more of it, and it doesn't last as long.
Genendl
I’ll be 57 next month, and this is the best moisturizer I’ve ever used. It saved my dry skin. I use it for day, and it is more hydrating than other products. My skin loves this stuff!
Erika
Emollience is wonderful. It's thick and creamy, but you only need a small amount to cover the face and neck. It leaves the skin feeling soft, not greasy. I am on my third jar and don't foresee switching anytime soon!
Ellie
I really like this cream! It feels heavy at first but melts into the skin and leaves it feeling incredibly supple and moisturized. It absorbs beautifully and is my favorite winter moisturizer. I look forward to seeing how it works in the summer too!
Karen
I've been using Emollience for over five years. It is lightweight, does not feel greasy, and sinks into the skin immediately. It has kept my skin in good shape, and I would highly recommend it for dry to normal skin types.
Sarah
This cream helped with seasonal dryness. It is very rich, so a little goes a long way. It helped fight dryness and flakiness, and my skin felt less tight. It has a slight fragrance, but it doesn’t linger and caused no irritation.
Molly
I was not super wow-ed by this moisturizer. It felt a little too watery and light compared to other products. I will finish the container, but after using it for a week, it hasn't impressed me much yet.
Camelia
LOVE Ive tried A LOT of moisturizers and this is a wonderful simple yet extremely hydrating moisturizer. I use this in the morning over my serum and triple lipid at night. I find this wears well under my make up and feels rich while not feeling heavy. No complaints!
Leah
I live in a dry climate and use Emollience twice a day. The moisturizer leaves my skin feeling hydrated, but not greasy. I would not be without it. I would have given a 5 star rating vs. 4 star if it was offered in a larger size. Try it... you will love it.
Sophie
I use it twice a day. Now, wrinkles have decreased and become more tight. I dont have a complex facial care program, just wash my face and apply this. I like it and will continue to use it. I have used more expensive products, and this effect is better!
Ella
Seriously, I switched product lines several months ago & I have been trying different moisturizers in the line. None that Ive tried have been heavy or oily, and this one moisturizes but it makes my skin feel pampered & nourished. I will buy this again.
Natalia
Hands down favourite moisturiser product. I have tried other products, but there is no other product like this one. Perfect for dehydrated and combination skin, this luxuriously thick cream is the perfect thirst quencher without making other areas oily. Minimal scent, non-greasy, easy to apply.
Mia
I cannot live without Emollience! It is my absolute favorite moisturizer. Id give it 10 stars if I could. I have very dry skin but also acne prone. It is the only product that hydrates my skin. It lays light on my skin and doesnt clog my pores. Love it!
Melissa
I have very sensitive, acne prone skin. I use Tretinoin at night, which is very drying. Ive tried so many different creams and lotions and this is what Ive been searching for. FINALLY! Emollience has a light texture, applies easily, and a little goes a long way. It moisturizes deeply.
Lucy
I purchased this a few weeks ago along with a number of products. My face was uncomfortably dry and tight. Since using this product, my skin feels healthy and looks dewy. Emollience has a thick texture that keeps my skin hydrated all day. I have extremely sensitive skin and had no reaction.
Melissa
I have dry, acne prone skin so I started with the triple lipid. I like that moisturizer but its too thick for daytime and the price is steep so I tried the emollience. I love it, a little goes a long way and you get more for a much lesser price. It did not break me out at all.
Maria
I love this moisturizer. It is great for mature skin; perfect for night and not too light or too heavy. I like the texture of the emollience better, and think it works just as well.
Amber
LOVE this moisturizer! I was waking up every morning feeling like my skin was so dehydrated, until I started using this at night. Now my skin stays dewy through the night and my makeup goes on much smoother. My dry skin was healed after just a couple of uses. Great product.
Tess
I love this product so much. Not oily, recommended by my dermatologist. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I use it at night and it really works for me. I have combination skin and this does not give me breakouts.
Kylie
Have tried many quality brands over years, and I find Emollience to be my second choice due to its ingredients, ability to hold moisture in skin without a greasy or heavy feel. It keeps skin feeling great even for combo zone skin over a long period of time.
Jenny
I have combo skin and which tends to lean on the dryer side in the colder months and was using daily moisture, which was fine, but my skin was still feeling a little dry. My esthetician recommended this product and I have been using it ever since for almost two years.
Emily
I already use serums and other products for anti-aging, line reduction and was looking for a good moisturizer to seal it all in at the end of my nightly regime. I think I have finally found a winner. This moisturizer is rich and ever so emollient. My skin feels smooth.
Deborah
This moisturizer is definitely a great buy. I would suggest it to be a nighttime use. I do use it under my makeup but it is pretty heavy for day use. My skin is definitely smoother feeling.
Emma
The face cream looks thick and sticky. It can be absorbed quickly on the face. The skin is tightened. The key is to have a good balance or adjust the oily part of the face. It is not greasy at all. The dry part is moist.
Emma
This face cream is amazing for dry, sensitive skin! Ive had some stubborn eczema flare-ups on my face that this product healed in a week! Never going back! Its almost too moisturizing. Ive found that the products are expensive but at least twice as concentrated as cheaper products.
Grace
I bought this moisturizer as I wanted to splurge on a hydrating one. I have used the serums and loved them, but I was not overly impressed with this cream. The texture was lovely and hydrating, but I received similar results from more cost-effective moisturizers. Save your money!
Stella
I purchased this product several months ago after purchasing and using the Retinol 1%. I did not use a moisturizer with the first use of Retinol and learned a good lesson. Emollience was wonderful for my irritated skin. Now I use it every night and my face looks so good.
Wendy
I have been using this for numerous years and I absolutely love it. It is not heavy or oily and makes your skin glow. My friends have asked what I use because my face looks smooth and glowing.
Kate
Like most, my skin tends to be on the dry side during winter & I was hoping this product would help. I wanted to love it but unfortunately it did not deliver the results. I didnt see much difference in my skin after using it. Disappointing.
Nancy
This is my first time using Emollience face cream. My skin is sensitive and at times gets irritated and red. After using this face cream for a couple of days, my skin got softer and the redness went away. My skin glows after using this product. It feels light and is easy to apply all over your face.
Emma
I started using this about a month ago. I live in the arid southwest and this feels great when applying, absorbs quickly, and keeps my face dewy and hydrated all day. Not sure if I will repurchase, but it is definitely a great summer moisturizer.
Elaine
Have been using this for years and dont want anything else. I have dry sensitive skin and Emollience is light, non-greasy, and gives me the right amount of moisture. It doesnt clog my pores.
Alexa
This is my favorite moisturizer ever and I have used it for at least 14 years. It leaves no pilling, no irritation, or bad smell. I have sensitive skin and am prone to migraines, and I hope they never stop making this.
Donna
This is the best moisturizer I have used! I have been using this moisturizer every day for several years. It makes my skin feel soft and hydrated. It quickly absorbs into my skin and Im able to apply my makeup easily. I will definitely continue to purchase this moisturizer.
Emma
Great product for anyone experiencing extreme flaking around the mouth and chin area. I used another product for many years, but it wasn't cutting it, so I decided to try something else. This product worked extremely well, and it didn't break me out. A little goes a long way. I will repurchase over and over!
Mara
Guys, this moisturizer is fantastic. It has a rich creamy texture and a mild, fresh smell. The results are awesome—deep hydration, suppleness, and even brightening. This moisturizer has saved my skin during my Accutane treatment. Worth the money and lasts a while! I'll never use anything else.
Iris
This has been my go-to moisturizer ever since I discovered it. Combined with other products, I don’t have to wear foundation. I just use a tinted mineral sunscreen, and it lasts me all day.
Rhonda
My facialist suggested I try this for my dehydrated skin. It has helped dryness, is lightweight, and absorbs quickly. However, it may not be strong enough for very dry skin. Although I’m acne-prone, this did not clog my pores or cause a breakout.
Isabella
If you like rich, thick, and heavy moisturizers—this is for you. I have dry skin and use this every night. It really plumps my skin by morning! It also has a nice light fragrance. Not overpowering at all.
Emma
I decided to switch to Emollience during the colder season to increase hydration. It's been over two months, and my skin is responding very well. I strongly recommend this cream during colder days.
Lily
If you have dry skin, this is for you. Feels like a body butter! I did not feel like this sat on top of my skin. I have eczema which worsens during the winter, and this was a big help.
Grace
I liked this product when I first received it, but I noticed that sometimes I get a burning sensation after application, especially after using retinol or acids. It might be due to peppermint oil. Does a good job moisturizing, but I’ll try something else for my sensitive skin.
Isabella
If you like rich, thick, and heavy moisturizers—this is for you. I have dry skin and use this every night. It really plumps my skin by morning! It also has a nice light fragrance. Not overpowering at all.
Teresa
I cant say enough good things about this moisturizer! It smells wonderful, is easy to apply, and makes my skin soft and moisturized. Is non-irritating and gentle. My skin has honestly never looked better! I have already ordered my next one for when this is finished and plan to stay with this product indefinitely! I truly look forward to using it every night!
Emily
I like it! It feels very luxurious and heavy. It absorbs very quickly and is not sticky at all. I've been using it for a week now and it's great. I think I will continue to repurchase this!
Sarah
Love this - super moisturizing! I have very dry skin so I really appreciate a very moisturizing product, especially in the evening before bed. This has been perfect for that! Also good for a windy cold day in the western dry air.
Donna
Love this moisturizer and have been using it in my morning routine for several years. I have aging skin and it makes my face feel hydrated and smooth. It absorbs quickly so my sunscreen and mineral powder can be applied without a long wait. I will definitely continue to use it.
Donna
This is the best moisturizer I have used. I have aging and dry as well as sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and works well under makeup. This moisturizer leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. I will definitely continue to purchase this moisturizer.
Donna
This product is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have dry and sensitive skin and this moisturizer makes my skin feel soft and hydrated. It does not irritate my skin and I have noticed fewer wrinkles. This product is not heavy or greasy and can be used at night or in the mornings. It absorbs quickly and works very well under makeup. I will definitely continue to purchase this moisturizer.
Andrew
Was using Daily Moisture until I got curious about this one... I usually dont go for the more occlusive types but Emollience keeps my skin hydrated and protected from moisture loss all day into the evening. The product has a slight ocean scent, which I figured is from the algae in the formula. My skin absorbs this so fast and its not greasy one bit. A small swipe from inside the jar is all I need to use after my morning routine and before sunscreen. This has become my new staple Moisturizer for sure. I will repurchase when I run low.
Jemma
I have tried everything, literally, and this is the best facial cream I have found for the price. It hydrates my skin overnight and I'm still glowy in the morning. WHY CANT I ORDER THIS!!!! If you want to continue to receive great reviews you need to get this back in stock ASAP otherwise people will go elsewhere. Not sure what your marketing strategy is but this is an amazing cream and not everyone has $$$$$$ to purchase other high-priced disappointing products.
Grace
I do not love the smell, it is a bit spicy for me (is that a smell word?) there are a bunch of extracts all mixed together in ingredients that probably contribute to this. Personally I feel like it does not soak into my skin like some other moisturizers I have used. I like a rich cream that soaks in and leaves skin feeling moisturized, but this one feels like it sits on top of the skin longer than I would like. BUT I put it on 8 hours ago and my cheek still feels moisturized, so 4 out of 5 stars. I am just not sure I will repurchase.
Shelley
I have purchased this one several times. It's a great product. I use morning and night. Although, sometimes I use something different in the mornings to conserve it when I get low. I tried another product last time but went back to this one when the jar was empty. I personally like it better. Both are good but this one just seemed to give me more moisture and more of a glow.
Melissa
I love this moisturizer for day time. It is extremely light, sinks right into the skin and is great for my dry, acne-prone skin. Not thick enough for me for night time but day time it is perfect for under makeup or on its own.
Isabel
I have very dry and sensitive skin due to a long-term chemotherapy use and I need to pick skincare products very deliberately. This is the best facial cream I have ever used so far. Smells good, my skin feels fresh and hydrated after using it. Love this!
Chloe
This moisturizer is wonderful! It feels thick but glides on beautifully and is very comforting and soothing on the skin. This is now my go-to moisturizer in the evening. Love it!
Tiffany
I use the Emollience moisturizer because it is perfect for my really dry skin. It sinks in quickly and doesnt leave a greasy feel.
Clara
I'm in love with this moisturizer. On my very dry, sensitive skin, most moisturizers disappear in an instant and leave no results. But I've found that this one is different in that it leaves a dewy result that actually stays. I use it both morning and night and even in the morning I don't wake up with parched skin. Mornings I apply it after a serum but before sunblock. At night I use it with another cream and this combo really benefits my skin. I've only been using it for 2 months, so we'll see how it works when the weather gets milder. But for now, I definitely plan to purchase again.
Jenna
I found Emollience a few years ago and I will never again be without it. It is the perfect blend between creamy and moisturizing but also light and wearable. I have dry skin and this is my answer!
Samantha
I have been using these products for over four years. I have observed a visible difference in fine lines and wrinkles. I use Emollience every night before bed and whenever my skin needs a little more moisture. This product absorbs quickly, is non-greasy, and hydrates the skin well. It has no scent to speak of and works well under makeup. The product is so worth the price.
Samantha
This is my favorite moisturizer. I have combination skin that is acne-prone, so I have to be super careful with what I put on my skin. This cream is awesome for day and night, but I use it at night time. Its very light but moisturizes well without being greasy. It didnt cause any breakouts which is huge. I recommend it for oily or combination skin.
Grace
I truly love this moisturizer. I love other brands, but they just werent cutting it anymore as I aged and my skin became drier. This is so much better than other products I've used for 50 years. I waited for a sale and was able to pick up a great deal. Even my dermatologist recommends this line.
Amanda M.
I really want to give this more stars. It is a very thick cream. I feel like it should be more of a night cream only. It takes a long time to dry, so it is hard to wait and layer it with sunscreen and makeup. It stays tacky for a long time. I use it when my face feels extra dry, but I try to keep that to nights only or days when I dont wear makeup. It is nice to have in supply, but it is definitely not an everyday cream in my book.
Lily
I was introduced to this product at my Dr.'s office. It was applied after treatments for sun damage. It calmed my sensitive skin and reduced the redness. I have been using it for the last 18 years. A little goes a long way! Its absorbed right into the skin and keeps it hydrated all day. If you experience dry, itchy skin prone to redness from harsh chemicals, I found this to be the most effective moisturizer. Tried and true!
Emily
I purchased this to try as a less expensive alternative to another product. I use it primarily as a night cream. I loved the rich texture, leaving my skin well-hydrated and soft without being greasy. It offers nearly the same softness and hydration, though maybe just a little sticky on my skin. This is high praise considering I have dry, aging skin and live in dry Denver.

I have dehydrated, sensitive skin. It is very difficult for me to find an effective moisturizer that will work without breaking me out. Emollience is one of them. It is a very gentle, moisturizing, and nourishing product. I prefer to spray my face with a mineral water spray before applying it for deeper penetration. Definitely a keeper for the colder months of the year.
Aubrey Ann
My skin has never had this many breakouts since I started using this product. This face lotion really sits on the surface of the skin and does not feel like a good quality product for the price.
Anonymous
For 4 years I've never been able to find any good moisturizer, but this one works. It does not irritate my skin, and it moisturizes well. I need very little to use from face to neck. It moisturizes well.
Alanna
I'm using prescription retin-a, and it leaves my skin extremely dry and flaky. I've been using this moisturizer at night every day, and it definitely has been helping reduce the dryness. It doesn't completely get rid of the dryness, but I see an improvement. If I'm very dry, sometimes I use it in the morning too. It's gentle and hasn't broken me out. I do wish it came in a pump because I always question how sanitary a jar is.
Lily
Is there any product from this line that isnt amazing? Honestly, I switched to their product line a few months ago and have been experimenting with various moisturizers. Every one I've tried has been lightweight and non-greasy. This particular moisturizer not only hydrates my skin but also leaves it feeling pampered and nourished. I'll definitely be purchasing it again.
Jane
I've been using this for a couple of years. This moisturizer is perfect for my 61-year-old skin. Feels amazing going on and leaves my skin hydrated throughout the day. I use it under makeup. People always remark on how beautiful and youthful my skin is. I will never use anything else.
