e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream, Moisturizer For Nourishing & Plumping Skin, Infused With Hyaluronic Acid, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 1.76 Oz

Absolutely Fabulous Cream! - it’s not too heavy, it is never greasy, nor is it too light. It has a few basic extra ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid, plus it has niacinamide, all of which are great for all skin types, truly!If you’d want something ‘extra’ you can add a few drops of your own favorite oil to the jar such as sweet almond oil, rosehip seed oil, or jojoba oil, but it really does not need it. It’s an affordable cream to make you feel like a movie star as you work it into your face, neck, chest, and back of hands. Don’t forget the back of your neck too! Thanks, E.L.F., for making this 5-star cream and making it affordable, too! It gives great hydration, absorbs well, face is not greasy in the morning.

This is a great value and a great dupe for neutrogena moisture surge. I love that it has sunscreen in it, but the smell is a bit overwhelming. I also wish it had more of a matte finish on my skin. I have combination skin which tends to be a little oily on my forehead, nose, and chin. This is a great summer moisturizer for me because I can have lighter hydration in the summer. However, when it gets colder and dryer I will probably go back to something thicker with longer lasting hydration such as Cetaphil. It seems to be similar in size to the Neutrogena one, at about half the cost. The smell, consistency, and hydration seem identical.

I really like this! I’ve been trying to find more affordable alternatives for most of my skincare and makeup, so I ordered this to try out. It had good reviews and was priced fairly, so wanted to give it a shot. It works really well under makeup so I’ve used it as part of my daytime routine. I’ve got extremely dry skin, so this is not heavy enough for me for nighttime use. I use a much heavier product as night and then throw this on in the AM to use under any makeup I decide to wear. I’ve got no problems with it piling underneath my foundation. I wouldn’t say it is completely scent free, but any scent it has it very light. I did not have any reactions to using it, but I don’t have super sensitive skin. It is a good balance of being not too matte nor not too glossy or ‘glowy’. I personally don’t love the over-‘glowy’ look, so this is a great pick for me. It’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t feel heavy on the face, which is ideal (I’ve been surprised to find how many lightweight moisturizers are still very noticeable feeling).

I really like the scent of this lotion. It doesn't make my face sticky or break out. Granted, I'm mid-40s with normal skin, so your mileage may vary. I wish it moisturized just a TINY bit better. It's definitely something to apply twice a day, for me. Which is no big deal. I've certainly had much more expensive lotions that I liked a LOT less. And it's cruelty free, which is a huge selling point for me.

I am half way into my jar and I'm so glad I shifted to this moisturizer. Infact, I mostly use Elf skincare now. This moisturizer is perfect for tropical weather because it's not greasy, very light on the skin and its absorbed beautifully. My makeup settles on my skin better. It keeps my face hydrated the entire day. I totally recommend this moisturizer because it's affordable skincare that really works.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This face cream has become my go-to morning moisturizer. It feels lightweight but still gives solid hydration, and the added SPF 30 is a huge plus. It blends in easily—no white cast, no greasy finish, and it plays nicely under makeup.For the price, it’s hard to beat. My skin feels soft and protected, and I love that it doesn’t have that strong sunscreen smell some SPF products do. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly daily moisturizer with sun protection, this one’s a win.

I have been looking for face care products that are light and effective. I didn't want to spend a lot of money for something that might not work. This cream leaves my skin feeling hydrated and buttery smooth. It leaves my skin glowing. It is a great value for the price. Will buy again.

I absolutely love this moisturizer face cream and I use it daily after I wash my face some of the pros are that it is light weight but very hydrating. It also works well under makeup and it leaves my skin smooth throughout my day.
