Nice and light

This is the first non-sunscreen Elta skincare product I've tried. So far I really like it. Compared to other barrier creams, it's lightweight and not too thick or heavy, which I like. It absorbs into the skin really well and leaves it feeling soft. I appreciate the moderate price point and will be trying more, based on this one.

great moisturizer

I wanted to review this product after I used a bottle or two. Now that I have, I am ready to say that this product is indeed moisturizing for my skin. I have used the Elta MD line for a number of years. As I have gotten older, the AM moisturizer no longer worked for me. This is much better for my skin.

Good Day Cream

Good day cream in the warmer months. Not as moisturizing as some other creams I've used, so I may not use this in the winter months because I have very dry skin.

Elta barrier renewal

I’m on my second bottle of this. It’s a nice lightweight while still feeling moisturizing. I layer it with other products and don’t have a problem with pilling at all. The texture is nice and it absorbs quickly. I haven’t seen any dramatic difference in my skin, but I do enjoy using this product.

My Favorite Daily Moisturizer

This is my favorite daily moisturizer!! Too many that I've tried feel too thick and leave a greasy, shiny look. This one is super light and feels great. I love it!

EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex Facial Moisturizer

Great Moisturizer. Goes on like silk and keeps my skin moisturized in the dry climate I reside in. Not sticky. Great application puts out the perfect amount.

A favorite ...

I have used this product for years. It is a nicely-textured, every-morning moisturizer, and I feel good that it has additional benefits to enhance and maintain hydration.

ELTA MD always a win

Using this for especially dry skin during the winter. Or after using retinol products or getting a peel, is a quick way to allow your skin to heal and glow.

Very moisturizing for my sensitized skin

I had some really bad irritation from a chemical sunscreen that left me scaly, dry and itchy. I bought this because almost everything else burned my skin, even my post procedure products. It went on smoothly and didn’t burn or irritate my skin. I woke up the next day feeling much less dryness and irritation. I would buy this again.

Great quality and good price point!

I am always happy to find a product that works well and is a good value, too. I really like all the Elta products and this one is no exception. It is a nice moisturizer that goes on smoothly and helps skin to recover from products such as retinols.

Just OK

Was hoping to like this as much as everyone else, but found it was not as moisturizing as needed and it was not addressing dry flakey spots well. OK if your skin is not really dry.

An Overnight Miracle

I first learned about EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex Facial Moisturizer from my dermatologist. As I have aged, my skin has become very dry and I find that applying this moisturizer every night has eliminated the obvious dryness on my face. It is easy to apply and doesn't have a greasy feeling at all. It also soaks into my skin so it doesn't soil my pillow. I have been extremely happy with it and am so glad that my dermatologist recommended that I use it as the best product to help my dry complexion.

Great moisturizer however causes peeling

Moisturizes well, however it gently exfoliates so be careful when combining with retinol/tretinoin. It can cause excessive peeling.

Horrid Reformulation

This used to be a great product, but the reformulation has drastically reduced its quality. On a percentage basis, the ceramides are now basically nonexistent. They used to be among the first-listed ingredients, and now they are close to last. The company also added soybean oil, so it is no longer an oil-free product. Other additions are iffy too. This is not worth the price anymore.

Perfect moisturizer

I use Elta MD AM Restore moisturizer every morning, and I use EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex moisturizer at night. It feels good going on my face, and never stings or causes problems on my very sensitive skin.
