    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This lightweight gel moisturizer layers beautifully under makeup and sunscreen, making it ideal for warm-weather use when lighter formulas feel less heavy on the skin and allow better sweat evaporation. Inside you'll find hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate for hydration, urea to soften rough texture, and caffeine as an antioxidant that may help ease redness from environmental stress.

    "The Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly is an oil-free gel moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid as well as a blend of barley, sunflower, and cucumber to help soothe and also help repair the skin barrier. I've been using this myself in the past few weeks and I've been loving using it, especially in the morning because it layers really well under sunscreen and makeup."

    "If you like a gel moisturizer, keep your eye out for this one, it's ordinarily 32.50 so 50 percent off is going to be a great deal. This is a very good gel moisturizer. It has urea in it, which can soften rough skin texture and improve moisture content in the skin, it's part of your skin's natural moisturizing factors. It also has caffeine, an antioxidant that can help diminish the burden of oxidative stress from environmental exposure and may temporarily improve redness, plus algae extract packed with humectants and sodium hyaluronate. I particularly enjoy gel based moisturizers in the summer when it's hot and humid because they don't feel as heavy and allow for better evaporation of sweat."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Urea

    Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
