Product Love: Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Moisture Cushion.

I love the feel of a gel moisturiser! Light and cooling on my skin they are something that I often opt for in the warmer months when I want something that feels comfortable and lightweight which will absorb easily in the heat without leaving any greasy residue (nice!) on my face. 

Recently, I have also been choosing them in the colder weather when my skin becomes dehydrated and fine lines appear from seemingly nowhere. The past few weeks saw me playing around with a few of these gels and the best one by far was Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Moisture Cushion.

This pale blue gel smells fresh and feels weightless on my skin. The main ingredient is water but there's also a little Lactic and Glycolic acids in here to aid with absorption along with the star ingredient Hyaluronic acid which helps hold onto the water in the gel leaving you with hydrated skin that looks and feels softer, plumper, lifted and generally healthier. I found that it temporarily softened those fine lines caused by dehydration and that because my skin was smoother it reflected light better and so had a bit more of a glow. 

There's a whole host of good support ingredients in this too: fruit extracts, sugars, aloes and collagen to name but a few. The gel absorbs like a dream so you can use it during the day - it preps skin for make up very nicely thank you - or you can use it at night layering it with other products.

I did find that as I liked this so much and it absorbed so well that I tended to be a bit heavy handed with the application of it so I did speed through this jar rather quickly (especially as I was reaching for it on a daily basis) but that is the only minus about it for me.

Having said that, while it's not cheap, it is at the cheaper end of the price range for quality skin care  products and I enjoyed it so much I will certainly be repurchasing it before too long.
