Blue Defense HydroGel is one of my most favorite products I use in my morning routine. Once I ran out and it was not a good thing for my skin, I definitely notice a difference in my skin when BDH is part of my daily skin care. With BDH I have more hydration, more of a glow and less fine lines. Will never stop using this product! I am 61 and consistently get comments on how fresh my skin looks!
Om Hello The blue defense hydro gel truly hydrates my skin. As a red head and fair skin, I have very dry skin and this product is amazing! Thank you
I love this gel and use it almost every day underneath CityBeauty's Daily Veil that is real protection from the sun. My skin drinks it up, and I'm on my second jar and loving it. I just turned 70, but people regularly think I'm 55! I'll take it!
I use this every morning. The cool gel formula feels great on my face and absorbs right in. I like knowing that I have some protection from the light that comes from electronic devices especially since I sit in front of a computer all day (in addition to my phone). This will always be part of my routine. Keep it refrigerated if you want a really cool and refreshing blast in the morning.
Love the Blue Defence Gel. I think it's working wonders. I had a huge compliment from my esthetician; she said that for my age (58) my skin is amazing …she wanted to know what I was doing - and I think it's the Blue Gel. I love City Beauty products.
Blue Defense HydroGel is one product I can't do without. I use it every day. A few months ago I ran out, and spent a few weeks waiting for a sale so I could purchase again. The sale didn't come, so I ordered anyway! During those weeks, I could see a definite increase in the dryness of my skin and it felt like a drying prune must feel. I vowed then I wouldn't make that mistake again. I really do love this product!!!
I am in my 70s and this product makes my face feel hydrated, is so smooth for a base for putting on my makeup and leaves it looking fresh all day. It is a real game changer for me. I look so much fresher and, yes, younger amd this gives me so much confidence that life is a joy.
I am an experienced user of skin products, and have at least three complete sets of major brands in my bathroom. However, my new "discover' of the City beauty company became a real game changer: from crepe skin on the body to a face of a new me. Blue Defense Gel - has become a go-to facial care for me!
I'm in my 70's and it seems to give my face a smoother, tighter look. I think it lightens a couple of brown spots under my chin. Started using it everyday before I apply my makeup.
Just started using this product and it does give my skin a coolness and moist feeling. I will recommend using this product as my friends have remarked that my skin is glowing!
I have been using this blue gel and I'm 59 and live in Arizona which Is very dry and I love this blue gel with the firming face serum it's great together Z julie
When I first purchased Blue Defense HydroGel I thought it was far to light and that it couldn't work. I was wrong. I left reordering a bit late so bought a high end product as a fill in until my order arrived. I will reorder more promptly now as the other product was dull and did not hydrate my skin in the same way. It really does work!
Blue Defense HydroGel is like applying a layer of water to my skin that stays through the night and into the following day. My skin feels so soft and supple. And it feels so luxurious when I apply it. Water, silky water.
More than twice in the last 6 months people have remarked how young I look and can't believe I'm nearly 70 years old. They all want to know my secret.
This is one of my favorite of City Beauty products. I use it everyday after I put on the firming serum. It has a cool refreshing feel and plumps your face leaving it shiny and young looking. Most people guess I'm in my late 40s, early 50s. That is a wonderful complement since I am in my late 60s
I absolutely love Blue Defense Hydrogel. The texture, coolness, hydration. I moved to a very dry climate from a very humid one and it is a must for me as my moisturizer.
Blue Defense HydroGel is one of my favorite City Beauty products. It is smooth and hydrating. I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate my skin at all. I apply it several minutes after uplifting firming serum and then a few minutes later I apply multi-action sculpting cream.
Love the Blue Gel! The dark spots on my face have faded and are barely visible anymore. The dark spots on the back of my hands are barely noticeable as well. I've noticed also that the patches of "chicken skin" under my eyes is much smoother and I can hardly see the patches at all now. Love this product!
So happy to find Blue Defense HydroGel. It's the perfect moisturizer for my skin, which is combination but tends to be getting more dry as I age. Love the way it soaks into my skin. I had a few rough patches on my brow, but since I have been using BDH, they have disappeared. Thank you Victoria!
The Blue Hydro Gel is my most favorite product. When I put it on, it gives me such a youthful glow and my skin looks so smooth. My favorite moment in my morning routine!!
