I have combination skin that sometimes feels tight/dry and even gets flaky on my cheeks. Is there enough moisturizer in this product or should it be layered on top of another moisturizer?

Hi Melayia. I layer it over my daily moisturizer because my skin tends to be dry. You may need to layer it on your cheeks.

I have combination skin too. I don't layer it with another moisturizer unless you are on accutane. It is a great sunscreen.

I don't usually use moisturizer...I find this product to be a light as a feather and gives nice coverage without feeling heavy or "made up". On occasion if I feel dry after being in the elements, I use a tiny bit of moisturizer . Since I've been using this product for over two years now, I've never had so many compliments on my skin.

I have oily skin and I use a moisturizer under my EltaMD UV Clear... I would definitely recommend using a moisturizer under this, especially if you get dry and flaky. Let me know if I can be of more help - Kimberly @ beautystoredepot

You can use another retinol on top if your skin can handle it with out getting irritation ( peeling, redness ) other wise you can use another moisturizer on top I do because I don't find it moisturizing enugh for my skin. Just always use your serums first before moisturizer.

if you have dry skin then yes you can use a thin layer as a moisturizer, but if you have an oily face, stay away, this is too heavy and will clog your pores. I use it on my hands, knees, feet and areas where I really need extra moisture.

I always use along with moisturizer but I have dry skin. I usually mix a bit of Coola with my moisturizer then apply on my face.

Sorry for the delay in answering. I love this product! You can do it either way with great results, make it a thin mask or make it thick it works and your skin feels silky afterwards, so try it in different ways to suit yourself. I order this all the time, and usually 3 jars at a time, just so I don't run out. Great product!

This serum also contains hyaluronic acid, which helps hold moisture in skin. I would try it - if your skin feels dry you can always top with moisturizer.

If you skin feels good and not tight or dry then use a light moisturizer. I think Neutrogena and Simple Skincare have good light moisturizers that are somewhat affordable.

I have combination skin and haven't had a problem with the oily areas. It leaves an initial greasy feel on your face so it's best to use at night to let it soak in. By morning my skin is soft, supple, and not oily at all!

Not at all! My skin is also combination, and this serum soaks right in. One of my favorite products!

I think this is the issue. I too am a bit older (49) and I wanted BE because of other women I saw who wore the product and looked amazing. This is what I have noticed. Those who look great are usually not fair and I would guess don't have dry skin. For me, I am fair and have very dry skin. I find I do not look good in just using the minerals. What has worked best for me is using Lancome underneath with the moisturizing mineral veil from BE as a powder. I think it really depends on your skin type and that no one product is good for everyone which is a bit sad as the women who look good with BE look amazing. To date, though the best product I have found for aging skin is in fact Lancome. I think this is the issue.

I have combination skin so some are as are dry but as long as I used a regular moisturizer either under or mixed with the BB cream it was fine... no issues at all.

I use it every day on my face and it works great! But you'll still need to use a daily moisturizer after. Your skin may feel tighter or a bit dryer than normal

I put this on first, and then add moisturizer if I need it. It is pretty moisturizing on its own, but you may need more depending on your skin type, and seasonal factors. I don't see why you couldn't use your serums under it. Also, don't use it on your face every day, as the application area should be rotated for absorption reasons I am not going to go into. :-)

My skin is on the dry side so I use a very strong moisturizer followed by my tinted sunscreen. Other than that, I only use blush. It's all you need with this great product!

HydroShield is a fantastic moisturizer that can be used with another moisturizer, but I don't see why that would be necessary. It is an intensive product that is all I need as long as I use it twice daily (and/or every time I cleanse my face) and as long as I allow it the five minutes to be absorbed before using other products. After each cleansing, it should be the first product applied to the skin.

Put on face and let dry then put on good moisturizer I use No 7 face cream.... Good results.
