    I'm madly in love with this moisturizer. It's thick, but absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It feels similar to some fancier creams I've used in the past, but for half the price. I love that a little goes a long way, so one jar lasts for months (I only use it at night). Highly recommend if you want dewy, hydrated skin.

    Get it from Clarins for $49.
