Can you use this during the day? Everyone says that it works great and makes your skin look nice at night, so can you use it during the day as a foundation?

Only problem is that this doesn't have SPF like the foundation, so you have to be careful.

I like using it during the day. Makes my skin look even and bright! Feels light too, especially in the heat & humidity!

I use it daily, but at night. I feel like its a little too filmy to wear during the day/under makeup. I don't think it gives a lot of moisture, but rather balances out my skin.

I would not use it at night. It's really for use as a daytime primer/blur/sunscreen product. I don't think it's intended for use as a regular moisturizer. I love this stuff, and it's great under makeup or even alone for when you don't want to put on any makeup!

I believe if you wanted to use it by day you must use a SPF 15+, also some skin doesn't tolerate that much retinol which is what this is you might want to try using it at night only first, some even alternate every other night

I have used it during the day, just a very light breeze over my face and neck. But it is better at night when it can soak into the skin. It has a lovely fragrance. I can`t tell so far if it has regenerated my skin but it is a good moisturizer which is what the skin needs.

There have been times that I've used this cream during the day, especially when I may have forgotten to put it on the night before, or I am going to be in the house all day, or there is very little sun out. But this cream does not have sunscreen in it like the daytime moisturizer, so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day. I love the Total Effects with SPF 15. Very emollient and offers great sun protection without looking pasty.

No, this is definitely more suitable as a night cream. They do make a day cream with SPF in the same line.

personally I use it at night with my skin care regime. I could see using it during the day, especially in summer. It feels cool and smooth. There isnt anything cooling in it, the gel formula goes on cool.

I have to balance mine out. I use this at night and another moisturizer during the day. Using this during the day (swapping the two) made my skin break out with acne (frustratingly common for me and I'm 47!). Using it at night seems to work the best for my skin type. Most moisturizers and many acid products make me break out but this one didn't. I think it really depends on your skin type. I love this stuff! By the way, it also worked really well removing the age spots on the back of my hands!

I think it does a good job evening skin tone. I wear it for everyday highlighting with a bronzer for more color sometimes. If you like a real heavy makeup it might not be enough??? I just really like the way it feels on my skin.

I just use this gel during the day, and Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion at night. But I'm sure you could use it a night too. However, Jeannette Graf used to make a night gel too, but I have not bought that or seen that recently.

I would recommend only using during the night .. It may be too heavy for normal skin during the day

When I bought it initially at the mall and realized I totally over paid, they told me that I should use the serum at night and the cream in the morning. You use it everyday for a month and then you can scale back to about every 3 days. I use the cream every morning under my eyes. You use both around your eyes or anywhere you have wrinkles on your face. It works great and I love it.

As its statement, it should be used as a night cream. There should be no chance for you to see sunshine. Don't recommend use the chemical under daylight to induce further sun spit in my opinion.

Yes, you can. I use it day and night (and have not had it react to sunlight). It is labeled a "night" cream because it does not contain sunscreen, and because it is a heavier moisturizer than many people want to use for daytime. My skin is very dry, and I have found it very helpful to use it both times (instead of buying both a day cream and this night cream like I used to). It is absorbed into the skin quite well, so it really isn't too heavy for daytime if you have dry skin. It has the added benefit of being less expensive than buying two different moisturizers. You can always use a separate sunscreen if you'll be outside. Yes, you can. I use it day and night (and have not had it react to sunlight).

I use it only in the AM because it's very rich and helps my face feel hydrated all day. I usually put makeup over it (a tinted SPF moisturizer) but I do not use foundation. This is my go-to winter face cream. I love it.

if you have oily skin you don't need to. its a very light formula. I layer it over other products at night but it would be to oily for me to use during the day
