Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, partly responsible for the skin’s moisture-binding capacity. It is derived from amino acids and is highly water absorbing. Due to its moisture-binding ability, it is a high performance humectant which increases the skin’s softness when added to products.
Naturally occurring in plant leaves, cereal germ oils, and milk, Vitamin E is known to be an important antioxidant and free-radical scavenger that contains moisturizing properties.

JoAnn M:I have bought the Oil Free Moisturizer and the Oil Free gel cream. I would buy them both......I have the gel moisterizer for the summer, hotter weather where it goes on a bit lighter.

Amanda S:Depends on what your preference is. I tried the Ultra Oil Free and there is menthol in it which I didn't care for-it tingles a little- if I didn't have that I would like it. The Sodium PCA you just take a little out and rub between your hands and then apply it; it's a light moisturizer.Jun 9, 2013
Gary L:I love both the lotion and the moisturizer. I use the lotion in the morning and the moisturizer in the evening. Both are great for skin that tends to be shiny and a bit oily at times but still needs a moisturizer.Jun 9, 2013
