what is the texture of the lotion? I tried an alternative product and it was watery and difficult to apply. Thanks!

This product definitely is not watery. I find it to be fairly thick and a bit sticky, but it smooths on nicely (I use less than a dime size amount to cover my whole face). It gives my skin a great texture for applying makeup and controls my oil so well. Also, I have very sensitive skin and am allergic to nearly everything, but have no issues with this product. One tube lasts about 6 to 8 months.

I've been using it for years. It's creamy and I do not have any problems putting it on. The matifier keeps my t-zone from getting so oily but has enough moisturizer to keep my skin moist. I really like it.

It has the consistency of a lotion, but goes on almost like a primer. I love it. It works really well.

N0, it is not supposed to be runny. It should be like any normal lotion. I love this stuff and use it on my face and neck. I can never find it at Walmart or other stores so, that is why I bought it on Amazon I am sure there are some code numbers on the bottle maybe on the bottom or near the UPC code and if you call the 800 number for Unilever I am sure they can tell you when it was made. Proper storage (temperature) is more important than when it was made. I also always shake the bottle.

The lotion is very thick and is almost like a cream. Towards the end of the bottle I add a little water to dilute it a little to get it all out. I use it all over my body.

Less than a pea size, I've been using it all summer and it's more than half full still. At least that's the way I use it. It's an odd texture, like Elmers glue, and I just put a very thin layer, but it does work. Also wore it all day at Disneyland, and didn't get sunburned, and I'm a redhead, so the sunscreen really works too.

Thanks Reyes, this is very helpful. Thanks to you, I will be sure to give it plenty of time to dry. It sounds like might not give me exactly the visual effect I was hoping for, but I will end liking it for the way it makes my face feel (which is what it is really suppose do to.) I will try it out this weekend. Thanks again.

The texture is dry/matte...not oily at all and tinted. When you squeeze it from the tube, you will think it is too thick, dry, and dark colored, but when you rub it into your skin it blends right in...perfectly. No breakouts whatsoever

I don't use other products so sorry I really can't help you. The moisturizer is very thick but excellent for a night time application; which is when I use it.

Yes, you just use it like you would any hand or body lotion. It is just not liquid like many hand lotions are. It is called "butter" for a reason. Even tho it is solid, it is soft and smooth as soon as you start to rub it in. I do not use any other product anymore. Our entire family uses this daily.

I don't like oily lotion either! This is my favorite lotion of all time. It moisturizes your skin without that greasy feeling!

Well, I am not a dermatologist but I can tell you that I like the lotion. It like the texture ....it is of the "right" consistency, not watery or overly thick and it smells "nice" .... kind of minty. I apply it on my body and even my face.

It is kind of watery, but has been very effective for me. I have Lupus and my skin was flaking off my face like a sunburn peel. Make sure to apply to clean/dry face, then let it soak in before applying moisturizer. It doesn't take much of the serum to cover your face and the small bottle will last a long time. Hope that helps.

For me its not but I bought this product anyway and it never dried. It just stayed a lotion and then it was a problem!

I always apply lotion after this oil dries. It's extremely drying on your skin and leaves it looking white. If you use an oil-based lotion (like St. Ives) you can apply with no trouble. If you use a water-based lotion, it all rolls into little balls and is a mess. I've been using this for 2 years and love it.

It's sort of in the middle, if that makes sense. It's not watery enough to be a true toner, but it's very liquidy for a moisturizer. I use it after my toner and before my serums.

My son says it is not greasy. He says it is thick at first and soaks in within a few minutes then is dry. He said even when he gets wet - as long as it has soaked in - it doesn't feel slippery either. He only puts it on once a day and it lasts all day.

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

I used it around my eyes with no problem. No burning sensation at all. You should know, however, that the "serum" has the consistency of water. Don't get me wrong - I like it, but it's not like a cream or gel. When I say watery texture, I mean it literally feels like water.
