I’ve been a fan of the Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Oil-Free Moisture Cushion for a while now — in fact, many of Dr. Gross’ products are tried-and-true go-to’s for me, especially the Hyaluronic Marine Hydration Booster. With a gun to my head, if I were forced to admit which Hyaluronic Acid serum is the best of the 87,000 out there, I would likely answer the blue one from Dr. Gross (I’d be too freaked out to remember the actual product name.)
Violence isn’t necessary. It’s the Dr. Gross Hyaluronic Marine Hydration Booster, okay?
A Hyaluronic Acid serum is a true necessity all year round, but the Hyaluronic Marine Oil-Free Moisture Cushion is particularly useful in the summer. It’s more of a conventional gel-cream. If it looks like a gel-cream and feels like a gel-cream, it’s a gel-cream! I wish they’d just call it that.
But no matter, it’s a refreshing, lightweight, pleasure-to-use moisturizer — and doesn't make the same alcoholic (haha!) mistake as the two prior moisturizers from Dr. Jart and Naisture.
Just really good, pro-skin health stuff here, including Sodium Hyaluronate — the salt form of Hyaluronic Acid that’s more compatible with our skin. I love the Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Watermelon Fruit Extract, and Coconut Fruit Extract.
It makes me feel like I’m chilling under an umbrella by the ocean. There are also a few natural extracts that offer gentle enzymatic exfoliation — Sugar Cane Extract, Lemon Fruit Extract and Sugar Maple Extract.
Speaking of exfoliation, I’ve been pairing this gel-cream with Dr. Gross’ most famous product — the Alpha Beta Daily Peel.
Interestingly, even though these AHA/BHA wipes are quite popular, I haven't really paid much attention to them as I’d only taken a look at the best-selling versions of them — all of which contain a high level of alcohol.
But I recently discovered that the Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel for Sensitive Skin contains not a drop of alcohol. Yes!
The two-step treatment takes just a few minutes each morning to literally reboot and light up your complexion. These two Dr. Gross products go together really well.
