The e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Gel-Yeah Moisturizer is a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer designed to provide intense hydration without the heaviness of traditional creams. Infused with squalane and allantoin, it promotes a plump, smooth complexion while being 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

Gel yeah!
This gel texture is so much fun. This super light moisturizer feels fantastic and balances out oily skin. It dries down to a matte finish and leaves your face with the right amount of hydration. It seems to lightly tighten the skin, so that tells me that it has true Prickly Pear extract in it. I love this on days when my T zone is overly oily a fre times a week. You will need an SPF with this moisturizer if you are out in the summer sun. The fragrance is light, and dissipates quickly. I personally love the smell, but to be honest I wish there was a fragrance free version available as well. A lot of ppl can not tolerate fragrance, no matter how light.This is definitely a day moisturizer. It's far too light for a night cream alone. However adding a little facial oil over top of it will work as an occlusive, if you'd like the actives (squaline and prickly pear). This will help condition your skin during skin Cell turn over which happens why you sleep ( I use maracuja oil but jojoba or marula oils work fine as well.)I love this moisturizer and the texture is so much fun. It goes on feeling like water and the skin absorbs it quickly leaving you with a matte, oil absorbing finish. Perfect price point too!

Very soothing and moisturizing. Lasts all day.
I LOVE THE SMELL. This is a great, hydrating product that leaves my skin glowing and very supple and smooth. I am over 50 and use this coupled with a hyaluronic serum first and it keeps my skin looking plump and soft. Works well for really dry conditions but also in humid conditions. All around good product. I love E.L.F. products.

good moisturizer for oily skin*
Background: oily skin, on 10mg of accutane 2 days on, 1 day offI first use a foaming cleanser, follow up w/ essence, next I use this elf (blueberry amount) moisturizer, then seal it in with an occlusive (vanicream lotion). The elf gel has weak occlusives. Petrolatum is the best to reduce TEWL in my experience. So, if you find the moisturizer not hydrating enough, ensure you're sealing in the moisturizer. That is my experience so it doesnt apply to everyone.I am pleased w/ this moisturizer as it is light and does not irritate my skin. My only complaint is the fragrance/perfume. Why do companies insist on adding this. Guess people want it. I dont think it adds value and would prefer they offer a fragrance-free version.One other plus is how affordable this item is - will repurchase.Update 9/16/24: i think this moisturizer is too light for me given that I take Accutane (even on my low dosage).12/24/24: too light for my skin even when paired w/ the vanicream cream or lotion and reducing my accutane usage. would recommend if you have no signs of dryness at all.Update 6/29/25: disregard all that was said above except the fragrance bit, i still dislike that. This product can be used as standalone moisturizer but the caveat being you gotta use a gentler cleanser. I cant use a strong foaming cleanser like the LRP Foaming or Cerave. I personally LRP hydrating.

Quick Absorption, but Short-Lived Hydration
This gel moisturizer offers a lightweight feel and absorbs rapidly into the skin, which is great for those with oily skin who dislike heavy or greasy textures. However, the downside is that it dries down a bit too quickly, leaving my skin feeling parched sooner than I'd like. I find it hard to use my gua sha after using this moisturizer because my skin is already dry!While it's convenient for those in a hurry or with oily skin, it might not be the best choice for individuals seeking long-lasting hydration. Overall, it's a decent option for specific preferences, but I'll continue my search for a gel moisturizer that offers more enduring hydration.

Locks in moisture
I was using Neutrogena hydro gel and wanted to try a less expensive alternative. Love it and will definitely repurchase. Dries down quickly and locks in the moisture.
