One flaw in an otherwise great product
I love how lightweight and refreshing this feels. The packaging is clean and cute too. The problem is it pills really badly under my makeup - far worse than anything I’ve used - and while I can still make it work, it means I won’t repurchase. Great price and everything else about it works - just one key flaw unfortunately.

Honestly the WORST I’ve ever used…
This is honestly the WORST moisturiser/primer I’ve ever used! I was recommended it in store (the Porto store) as I’d forgotten mine on holiday. This stuff is incredibly sticky (took ages to dry), it rolls under makeup and rolls in general! I tried it under EL DW foundation and at the end of the day it was crumbling off my face! It looked like flaky skin under my makeup.
Honestly the worst purchase I’ve ever made. I do not recommend full stop.

Not bad
I did heard of Sephora before but never heard feedback about their product so haven’t tried any until I got this. I did used it for few weeks and I can not notice any massive difference. Is indeed hydrating but not as mattifying as expected. Lovely scent and texture

Like a glass of water for my skin!
Sephora Collection Hydrating & Mattifying Oil-Free Gel Cream is amazing. The gel texture is so smooth & it sinks into my skin instantly for a hydrated, matte finish.

Noooooo
Three times no. I have ended up with pimples all over my face after first use of this gel. I had also tightened feeling on my face straight after applying this onto my face. I would not recommend this to my friends and family and you too!

Absorbs so quick!
I absolutely love this from Sephora. It smells amazing and the gel texture that absorbs straight into your skin is lush. The packaging is so pretty and I’ve noticed a real different in my skin.

No bad words about this cream
First of all, I’m so glad that we in the UK finally have access to Sephora goodies. This face cream is amazing for my super oily skin. I love it and will definitely be adding it to my beauty buys. It keeps oil at bay and I have no bad words to say about it. I love the gel cream consistency too. Perfect for me.

Amazing for oily skin
Big thank you to @influenster @influensteruk & @sephorauk for #gifting me this amazing Clear & Purifying, Hydrating and Mattifying Oil Free Gel Cream 😍
This is perfect for combination/oily skin like mine as it reduces the appearance of blackheads, excess sebum and uneven skin texture. I have super oily skin and would usually need to use a mattifying powder throughout the day to keep my make up looking fresh, I used this as a make up primer because it's super hydrating but oil free and I've not needed to use a mattifying powder since doing this so I'm super impressed!
