Only moisturizer that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or cause breakouts. Very light and luxurious, yet evenly moisturizing. Unfortunately, worth every penny!
I have tried so many moisturizers, from high end to drug store and everything in between. My skin tends to be on the oily side and so I prefer a lighter texture when it comes to moisturizers. This one is perfect and absolutely evens out skin redness and reduces the appearance of my pores (because this moisturizer doesn’t make me oily). I am also acne-prone and this does not make me break out and I feel it also is soothing on any active pimples. Love this moisturizer!!!

PILLS! Kinda drying but light
I found this cream for $65 (1oz) at a discount place so I decided to try it. I wanted the rich cream and will give it a try at some point but this is my 2 day review of this cream. I’m older with normal to dry skin but the description says this is for dry skin. There is nothing special about it to be honest and it pills. There must be silicone or something similar because it pulls and I’m not even wearing makeup. I’m gonna try to return it.

Delayed allergic reaction - please be careful.
I experienced a delayed allergic reaction to this. I did a patch test with no issues prior to putting it all over my face. However, 3-4 days into using this cream 2x a day, I developed a very itchy, red rash with weeping welts all over my face, neck, chest, and back. It's really a shame since the cream is quite nice - it makes your oil levels feel balanced, minimizes the look of pores, gets rid of dry patches, seems to reduce acne spots, and sits beautifully under makeup/sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies to skincare/cosmetics, I highly recommend doing multiple patch tests over the course of several days.

I tried all the Bader creams, this is the one!
The Rich cream was too much for my oily skin. The Cream was good but still too much for my skin especially in the summer. I was hoping the AB line would come out with something just a little different for Oily/Blemish prone skin. This one is it. No breakouts from using it. I don't care if people say it's more of a serum than moisturizer. It is what is says.....a light cream. The faint product smells don't bother me. It's not like i smell like it the rest of the day. It absorbs quick, it moisturizes lightly which is what I need and will be great during the warmer months. Under make-up my skin looks amazing. It's so hard to find a moisturizer that doesn't make me break out. I've tried so many (from the ordinary to la mer) that if i added them up would amount to way more than this bottle. This is good if you can swing it. I'm definitely keeping this one in my arsenal.

Amazing ! I can’t even explain it. My skin loves it. Leaves you feeling so soft and mate. I hate greasy feeling creams. Super light weight. Super effective.

So let me start by saying that I wouldn’t call this product a cream since it has more like serum texture. Smth like rubber smell. None of the promised benefits are not delivered. Just meh

The Gel Cream
I really enjoyed the packaging of the cream. It was very luxe. The cream itself was of a gel like consistency, wgich is good for me since i have extremely oily skin and live in a very humid environment. A con I found is that it had an almost automotive smell to it...it reminded me of going with my dad to Auto Zone when he needed to get parts. The smell does not linger however, which is good. Once the cream is on, you need to make sure you let it sink into your skin for a good 5 minutes before putting other products on top. If you don't, it may peel up. Yet, there is something beautiful about my makeup when I have this cream on that I can not explain. It looks flawless and lasts all day.
