This is truly an amazing product! My wife has been using "Blue Defence Hydrogel" for about two weeks and I can assure you this is wonderful stuff! Like all of your products, this does wonders! Well worth the price and then some! Highly reccomend!
I am 72 & have always felt as I get older, my skin was becoming drier. Blue Defense Hydrogel keeps my skin feeling soft & moisturized all day. Definitely a "keeper".
I love the way this goes on! A little bit goes a long way. It actually feels like I'm nourishing my skin, not slathering heavy cream over it. Glad I got a few jars!
I needed something to help my skin look more hydrated. I tried the gel by itself and it didn't quite to the trick. I've tried the sculpting cream by itself yet my skin still looked kind of tired at the end of the day. I like the combination of the two (gel then cream) but need to make sure the gel is completely absorbed before applying the cream otherwise it tend to pil.
My skin is so much smoother and firmer. I keep my jar in the refrigerator so when I put the cream on, it's cool and very comfortable. I take a few minutes to massage it into my skin. I can really tell a difference.
The makers weren't kidding when they said this stuff was filled with moisture. If you've ever touched a baby's face, you'd be able to feel a slightly tacky skin that is drenched with moisture. Touch your own face and chances are, you'll feel a dry powdery sensation. Blue Defense puts that tacky baby skin feel back on your face. It also locks that moisture in so that you don't get that dry tight feeling by mid-day. I use this Blue Gel exclusively now, as my ONLY go to for face moisturizer. It goes on OVER my Uplift Serum because we can't have a baby skin feeling face that's all droopy, now can we?
I love love love Blue Defense HydroGel. As soon as I place it on my skin it is so soothing and cool and it feels like my face just for a boost of water. My face feels nourished and plump and soft all day and night. It works well with my makeup and brightens my face and makes me feel awesome!!!
I love this hydrogel! It is very light feeling on my face & is absorbed very quickly into the skin. Will be using this product as long as it is available to me.
I love the texture and it feels so dewy and moist. You don't need to use much as it goes along way. It is really combating the dryness of my skin.
Blue Defence absorbs beautifully into my skin making it look fresher and firmer. During the day I use with my Sculpting Cream and then apply again at night. Would definitely recommend.
I have used Blue Defense Hydrogel for about a year and I love it! As a 77-year-old with dry skin, I need all the help I can get and this product certainly provides that help...
I love Blue Defense HydroGel! I use it as the first layer on my face, morning and night. Sometimes I don't add anything else. Most times I add a moisturizer on top of it. I find that it tightens my skin and goes on easily without pulling my skin. I highly recommend this product.
I really love this product. The texture and feel of it when I smooth it onto my face is lovely. I am really seeing a positive difference in my skin, less wrinkles, smaller pores and a smooth glow.
Love the scent and it is very moisturizing. I purchased it because I spend a lot of time working online. I've been using it about 2 weeks and I'm waiting to look 5 years younger! :-) The HydroGel works very well with the Serum and other CityBeauty products and I never feel like my face is greasy.
I started using the hydro gel at night to test it. I am now going to replace my favorite facial oil with the gel during the day. Smells lovely and moisturizing without being greasy.
I put the HydroGel in the fridge between uses so that it really refreshes my skin as I use it to hydrate my face in the morning and at night. Absorbs quite well on clean dry skin and yet allows me to use other moisturizing and nutrient products over it. Really enjoy using it (and love thinking that it penetrates deeply!)
I am enjoying this product. I am not used to using a gel formula, but I am getting used to it. I thought because it was a gel it wouldn't absorb, but that is definitely not the case. I really like it!
This is one of my favorite products. I use it everyday and all most every night. I didn't realize that this could totally replace my moisturizers until today! I have multiple moistures, and lifting and tightening potions (haha) so what do I do with these? I have been using them on top of the hydrogel, but sparingly, otherwise as I was breaking out! I am 72 years old, still learning!! I would love to know your answer to the above! But do I love Hydrogel-YES!
Blue defense gel is highly refreshing. I love how it feels first thing in my morning routine. It helps to keep my skin hydrated and prepped for the rest of making up.
I love the feel of Blue Defense Hydrogel on my skin. It goes on cool and silky and is absorbed rapidly. I haven't been using long enough to see a big difference. It is cool and refreshing after a long day.
