I have sensitive, fair, oily skin, and I LOVE this moisturizer! I'm about to buy my third tube of it. I use about a dime-size amount to cover my entire face; any more, and it doesn't mattify as well. ...Read more

This doesn't keep me matte not even for 2 hrs. It dries my skin and makes it itchy. Dissapointed.

I was suspicious at first. Well, I already have two Holly Grail moisturizers, why would I want to try another one? One word: curiosity. And after 1,5 month I think it's quite nice, actually. It does...Read more

They recently changed the packaging to a squeeze bottle/tube. Which imo, is better. This is my HG moisturizer in the summer months. Definitely makes my skin matte & helps my make up stay on longer.

Its a good makeup base and a mattifier however it is really NOT moistursing and doesn't do any good change on the skin.In my opinion its overpriced for what it is and will not be re-purchasing it
