What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this as an excellent lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without feeling greasy or heavy, making it ideal for warm weather and acne-prone skin. The value proposition is a major selling point, affordable and comparable to pricier brands. The one recurring complaint is stickiness or tackiness on the skin. Most reviewers note it works across multiple skin types, though it shines for normal to dry and combination skin.

"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. By itself, it gives a nice little healthy glow, but not like a greasy shiny look. It's simple but so nice on the skin, and it's weightless. Such a good price point, which we love."

"This one's a glycerin based gel. I would say this one's better for normalish skin types or dry skin types. It sets to a really more of a matte finish. It does tend to be sticky though. That's the one thing I'll point out. It tends to set to a little bit of a tacky finish, but it's got ceramides, green tea, it's got fatty acids, it's got panthenol. It's really wonderful for 16 bucks. The packaging is great."

"Bioma does it again with their moisturizing gel cream. It's lightweight, it's affordable, it's barrier supportive, and it's a great everyday option if you don't need much weight."

"It has ceramides, which are excellent for the skin barrier. And it also has niacinamide, with all of the pluses and minuses of niacinamide. It has tea leaf extract, which may offer some antioxidants. Panthenol, the moisturizing B vitamin, glycerin, a humectant. If you're looking for a fragrance-free facial moisturizer that won't feel greasy or heavy, but gets the job done for moisturizing the skin, there's nothing wrong with this. It's a great option. This is a particularly good facial moisturizer for someone maybe in their 20s or late teens, 30s, maybe coping with acne breakouts, using acne treatments like topical retinoids, and looking for a lightweight facial moisturizer that will combat the dryness and irritation one might expect with some of those treatments, but not be greasy or heavy. This is a great option. It also works as an eye cream. If you are looking for an eye cream to moisturize the skin around your eyes to plump up and diminish dehydration wrinkles, this is something you could use around your eyes for that purpose. I don't have anything negative to say about it, but it's not as jazzy as far as the wow factor in terms of plumpness, hydration that I get from it in comparison to a lot of the Korean moisturizers that I'm always raving about. But it's good."

"My favorite is probably the Bioma Moisturizing Gel Cream. I typically use their gel moisturizer when I'm in a little bit more of a dry environment but I still want that invisible moisturizer feel on my skin. It does a great job of deeply moisturizing without looking too greasy."
Approved
"This is a moisturizing gel cream with a tri-ceramide complex with niacinamide, that B vitamin our body naturally makes, as well as that green tea antioxidant. This is just a nice fluffy lightweight moisturizer. With one pump you're getting the perfect amount. It's a great choice you get a lot for your money. It's very similar to drunk elephant at a fraction of the price."
Approved
"The Bioma Moisturizing Gel Cream is a perfect formulation for the summer months but honestly this is great for all year round. It does have that nice moisture to it from that creaminess but then of course that gel just creates more of that lightweight feel so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin whatsoever. It always pairs up nicely with all of my skincare products including my sunscreen and of course my makeup. This one has green tea which is an antioxidant and there is also triceramides which will help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier. The niacinamide in here really is great if you have oily skin so this can help to reduce excessive oil, great if you're acne prone. I really love this. It's a great option if you are looking for something that is lightweight but still moisturizing enough."

"I really love this one, this one stands out the most. This formula is so lightweight but it's really moisturizing, perfect for all skin types. I do have combination skin for reference, and so when my skin is at its oiliest this is great, but also when my skin is dry and when it's flaky this also performs really well. This one has the ceramides and the niacinamide, but this one has green tea which is an antioxidant. I just love this formula. I like the packaging, I like the way that it performs underneath my sunscreen and makeup, and it just keeps my skin comfortable for the entire day or at night, but I mainly like to use this in my morning routine."
