Reviews
Great for sensitive skin!
"I love this moisturizer. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting it to be a jelly at all (even though it was right there on the packaging lol). I love how much it cools my skin and helps it to feel hydrated all in one. I've noticed that it does help a little with brightening, but what I love most is the fact that it doesn't clog my skin!"
— Krystal R. (5/5)
Super lightweight
"Super lightweight! This is a great moisturizer, maybe just not for what I was looking for. I bought this for a trip where I knew conditions would be dry and I would be outside every day. It has a great feel and the cooling aloe was very nice. I only wish it packed a little more punch. I imagine this would be PERFECT for the beach or somewhere you don't need a lot of hydration. I ended up giving it to my teen and she loves it."

Love this!
"I love how light this moisturizer feels. It is very cooling and feels good on your skin. It hydrates well!"
— Nora (5/5)
I use this every day mixed with my SPF!
"I use this product every day mixed with my daily SPF. I have combination skin, so when I use any SPF product alone, it’s too thick and makes my skin more oily. The aqua jelly moisturizer is a nice lightweight gel moisturizer that I mix with a drop of my SPF to lighten the texture. Love it!"
— Alissa B. (5/5)

Can this be used around the eyes and mouth area?
Hi there, thank you for your question. This may be used all over the face including around the eyes and mouth areas! Kind regards, Amber The Dermalogica Team
Can this be used after applying retinol? I read retinol shouldn't be combined with acne products that have AHAs or BHAs.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. You may use the Cooling Aqua Jelly moisturizer after applying your PM retinol. Kind regards, Amber The Dermalogica Team
What's the shelf life for this product? I bought it and tried it ages ago before trying a few other moisturizers. I think I like this one the best but I'm worried that my bottle is expired. How long after opening is it good for? Do I need to buy another? Thanks!
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Products containing SPF and Acne actives will have an expiration date on the bottle. These ingredients are considered over-the-counter drugs and the expiration is regulated by the FDA. Otherwise the shelf life for unopened products is about 2-3 years. All products without an expiration date have an open jar symbol, indicated by a small jar with a number. Most commonly used is 12 M. This means that once opened, the product will be most effective up to 12 months. Kind regards, Amber The Dermalogica Team
