The perfect moisturizer is a rare thing, but this comes pretty close.

No joke: I am all about Clean & Clear’s Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. I don’t experiment too much with skincare products because my face is pretty sensitive, so I was a little anxious about testing this guy out, but ended up being pleasantly surprised!

As someone with combo skin, I appreciate that this product keeps my dry spots hydrated, but doesn’t wreck my t-zone. I also loved that I didn’t need to use a ton of product, which means saving serious dollars.

This product was light-weight, didn’t feel greasy, and I didn’t need to apply it more than once a day. It also smelled pretty awesome, which made for a great way to start my day.

BB5 Tip: Accept the fact that the perfect year-long moisturizer does not exist.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a product that works with your skin exactly the same way each month, you’ll never find exactly what you want. Different seasons mean different needs— you don’t expect cute summer dresses to keep you warm in the winter, right?

Find a great moisturizer that won’t make you feel like a grease monkey in the summer, and grab another for the harsher months.

Wishing you beautiful (and moisturized) skin,
