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.
...'Uplift Firming Serum'.., After Using It The Very First Time I KNEW We Would Be INSEPARABLE..My Skin Is So, So Supple, Firm.., It Glows. I DO NOT Even Wear Make-Up. I Don't Have To , My Skin GLOWS, From Within. I Find Myself Looking Into The Mirror Constantly..!!..I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT..!! And I MUST Add That...' When I Pear This With My "Multi- Action Sculpting Cream"...WOWW'!! I Receive A Lot Of Stares Because Of My GLOWEY , DEWEY, EVEN TONED, FABULOUS Skin..Thanks !
I was pleasantly surprised that a product actually did what it was advertised to do. I use it twice a day as instructed and I can really see the lift. I was currently using high end products, but I feel this serum does a much better job. So glad that I purchased it!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I've been an esthetician for 20yrs. My recent rapid skin aging is a result of health issues...recovering from an accident and reconstructive knee surgery which wreaked havoc with my CFS! Unbelievably, I could see in my magnifying mirror my deep wrinkles lessening daily. I've been using it for 6 weeks and the improvement continues even though I'm still struggling with having good sleep(essential for good skin!). Thank you for helping me feel so much better about my appearance!
I have only been using this product for about two weeks but it seems to be helping my fine lines and wrinkles look less prominent . I think it is giving a smoother skin surface .
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!
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.
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.
The best cream ever! Does exactly what it says. I've used City Beauty products for at least 3.5 years and have been more than happy . I love how tight and lifted my skin has been. The Multi - Action Sculpting Cream is my daily ritual.
