Lovely

Lovely moisturizer for my aging, dry skin. Flakes up a bit if too much is used. Does feel nice going on. No offensive fragrence. I buy this on the regular.

Great Product that Works

I have tried several City Beauty products and I rate this as the best. It appears to do the job while others have not. It soaks into my face and leaves it smooth.

Plush moisture

Wonderful product. I use it nearly every night as my final facial layer. It gives deep moisturizing without any greasy feel and has a nice fragrance. Hasn't done much for my fine lines however.

Happy surprise!

I was amazed at the difference this has made in my skin. It's more supple, soft and even holds on to my blush, keeping it on much longer. Great stuff!

Blue Defense HydroGel is an exceptional new product by City Beauty.

I use many City products. Blue Defense HydroGel is exceptional. I use it to start my morning and evening routine. It both moistures and tightens my skin. I have been really pleased with the results.

An absolute MUST!

I am 79 years old. I started using this product about a month ago and I must say the results are fantastic. When I wake up in the morning my skin is just so soft and supple to the touch. It has become my daily routine to use this before any makeup is applied to my face. This is a must use product.

HydroGel--Try it, you'll like it!

I'm really loving this HydroGel! I've tried way too many moisturizers that just sit on top of my skin. This HydroGel slurps right in and I'm starting to notice some positive results. Will buy again!

Beautiful Blue Miracle in a Blue Jar

A true miracle! I am almost 3 years out from breast cancer. My skin has really taken a toll in the journey. My skin drinks in the hydration and is so happy. It is cool to apply and such a treat. My skin is so very hydrated in the mornings. I look like myself again. My skin feels like babies skin to the touch and looks amazing. It gives me the self confidence back that I have lost. It truly is a miracle. Good bye Botox, hello Blue Defense HydroGel. A true blessing! Thank you City Beauty!

Makes your skin feel rejuvenated every day!

I love this product. Not only does it feel amazing when applied, it makes my face hydrated and glowing for the entire day. Love the way it feels on my face. Would feel incomplete without it!

Amazing

I have super dry skin and it is the only moisturizer that I have found that will make my skin feel hydrated. Even the next morning my skin feels as if I have just applied again.

Living in the desert it's like putting water back into my skin!

I live in the Arizona desert and this is literally like putting water back into my skin. I use this for a day moisturizer. My skin drinks it in! The only product that feels lightweight but gives me the hydration I need. I have tried so many moisturizers and this one does what I need. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

City products work

I've been using City products since they were known only as City Lips. The thing with City is that their products do what they're supposed to do. I've never failed to get the described results from any City product and this gel is the *best*. I've always avoided gel products because they're drying and the texture is unpleasant. I trusted claims that this gel is different, and I've never used a more efficient moisturizer. My only issue with City products is that they all include (sometimes overwhelming) fragrance but this one is very light.

Miracle!

This is definitely a "miracle" skin treatment. I absolutely love how my skin feels and looks. It has the added benefit of lightening a brown spot I have on my cheek. Even my husband noticed the difference in my skin. I would like to get on the autoship program but you have been sold out for weeks. Any timeline for when you will have more?

Customer

Thank you so much, city

Wonderful product for my 66 yr old face. I use it in the a.m with the sculpting cream and the purple face masque at night and my skin hasn't looked better! My breakouts have cleared up faster and my pores seem smaller as well as my skin appearing filler and more elastic.

Need more specific instructions for us!

I am confused with all the products offered by City Beauty: what to use when, in what order, instead of, etc! I need more specific directions: just "morning and night" is not very helpful when using more than one product.

Incredible Healthy Overall Skin Tone Difference

I'm in love! This is the best moisturizing product I've ever tried. It feels like it's got algae in it that will sink deeper in the skin than regular moisturizers. I use it day and night and have definitely noticed smoother overall skin.

Customer

Finally!! A product that does everything!

This amazing product makes your skin (and you!) feel luxuriously moisturized. I have seen a marked improvement in the tone, brightness, patchiness and general all over reduction in fine lines and wrinkles as a result of using HydroGel! I also feel like my skin is more firm and taut after utilizing it! This product has helped brighten and rid my skin of patchy-looking spots and has given my skin an exuberant appearance! It makes me feel more beautiful and as if I have a spa-rich experience going on in it every day!

MY NECK LOOKS YOUNG AGAIN

One of the best face treatments I've used in a long time, very hydrating, soothing, decreases appearance of fine lines -especially around my eye area and my neck, reduction of forehead lines and fine lines are diminished. My skin is a lot softer now, and a few age spots are lighter and a couple spots have vanished. As I get older I'm noticing my skin is definitely duller. Blue Defense Hydrogel has made my skin more luminous and hydrated. Lasts all day! I generally cover my neck with a scarf and lately I'm less self-conscious about my neck, so I'm not wearing my daily scarf anymore!

Customer

Looks amazing

Before my skin had a very dull appearance with wrinkles around my eyes and forehead. after using this product I've noticed a significant change in my appearance and the wrinkles have significantly reduced. I also love how when you apply this product to you're face you instantly feel the skin get firmer and stays firmer. You will not only look younger you feel younger your skin glow with radiance. It has made a difference
