This is super lightweight but not drying. It's great even for dry skin. Even though it's a gel cream, it's just wonderful to go from spring into summer if you want really lightweight skin care. This by itself gives a nice little healthy glow but not like a greasy shiny look because it's just a Moisturizing Gel Cream.

This one's the BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream. It's 16 bucks at Ulta. [...] This one's a glycerin based gel. I would say this one's better for normalish skin types or dry skin types, but I really like BYOMA. They've got some really nice products. A lot of them tend to be fragrance-free.

Where they part company

The Budget Dermatologist calls BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream approved. No BS Beauty calls it mixed. Two experts, one product, takes about 3 weeks apart, and opposite conclusions. Their own words are above; we are not going to tell you which of them is right.

What the whole panel says

These two are not the only voices on BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream. Across every independent expert take we hold, it carries a Guru Score of 78% from 11 experts, which is the share of them who approved it. The other 9 experts we hold takes from are counted in it too. See every take on it →

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
