"I have used this product for several years now as it is the only moisturiser that suits my skin. Since reaching ""a certain age"" my skin reacts to any product that contains oil and so I treat it to this cream and feel it is beneficial."
Susan, Shepton Mallet
"I am very satisfied of this moisturiser.I use it in the morning,after my Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Tone.It smells great and moisturises my skin without leaving it oily.I think that is the best for oily skin.Again I use very small amount and in the night I use the clarifying cleanser from Living Nature which irritates my skin so I use the Pure Alchemy Cellular Radiance Serum every other night to calm my skin when I don't use the cream that I have for blemishes."
Giannika, THESSALONIKI
"I love Akin Vital Hydration Moisturising Gel Creme, it leaves my skin really mositurised without being too heavy on the skin. It really is one of the best I have used for my combination skin."
Elizabeth, Gateshead
"BRILLIANT! I highly recommend this Akin Vital Hydration Gel Creme. I have struggled for years to find a moisturiser for my combination skin that did not leave my skin shiny & oily.
This is the best I have found. It leaves my skin smooth & soft. My make up goes on well & by the end of the day, my skin is still matte, which means my make up stays on all day."
Andrea, Hitchin
"The moisturiser is really lovely and sinks in like a dream leaving no greasy residue.
However, the packaging is awful and I have had problems with all three of the pump action bottles I've had refusing to work so that I have to remove the top and coax it into my hand before the product is halfway finished.
Tubes or a jar would be far better and I hope that A'kin decide to switch packaging as it's really annoying for such a good product."
Sarah, London
"I was really put off this product because of the price, but after buying I'm so pleased I parted with a few extra pounds. The moisturiser manages to soothe and moisturise, without leaving a greasy, heavy residue that so many other facial moisturisers leave on the skin. It's perfect on it's own, but is also a really nice base for when you wear foundation/powder. It also hasn't caused any breakouts on my skin, which many other moisturisers always manage to do. Lasts a long time, too. Very happy."
Sadie, Cardiff
"QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, PRODUCT SUITS MY COMBINATION SKIN, HAVENT USED IT LONG ENOUGH TO SEE A DIFFRENCE IN MYSKIN YET, BUT I HAD A SAMPLE WHICH MADE ME ORDER IT COS I LIKED THE WAY IT FELT ON MY SKIN, AND IS THE ONLY ONE PRODUC THAT CONTROLS MY SHINE MORE THEN ANY OTHER CREAM I USED BEFORE."
Lisa, Rugby
"Couldn't keep my very oily skin shine free all day, but felt good - light, and didn't make it extra greasy like some moisturisers do, and no extra breakouts whilst using it, which lots of moisturisers trigger on my skin. Would use again."
Eleanor, Winchcombe
"I absolutely love the A'kin Vital Hydration Gel Creme from mypure. It lightly moisturises skin without the oily feel you get with other moisturisers and leaves it soft and smooth. I will certainly be buying this product again to use as a long-term moisturiser."
Bridget T.
"Product applies quite nicely and sinks in so non greasy. My skin did feel softer but I am not convinced it is tough enough for older skin. Smell is masculine."
Dawn, Ironbridge
"I only give this three stars because the pump in the bottle was broken so I couldn't pump any product out. I had to squish the top off, which showed that the tube wasn't even connected to the top. I tried to fix it, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get any product out. In the end I had to get the product out with my fingers, which I'm not too satisfied with as the lid is very hard to get off. Quite disappointing.. but the creme itself is very quickly absorbed and gives my skin a nice matt finish."
Sophie, Solrod Strand
"This was for myself to try but unfortunately the essential oils in it did not work well with my skin. I would recommend this to friends but next time will only get the fragrance free products to limit reactions. "
Teresa, Lochgilphead
"Unfortunately the sample sizes just seem too small to give an accurate review of this product. However the few days I used it my skin did feel moisturised though slightly tacky for quite a while after applying. It was matifying for only the first two days, then no longer seemed to do so (even though I used a fresh sample packet).
Overall though, it did what it said on the tin, but I'd recommend giving the full size a try for a few weeks to see if it works for anyone else."
Anne, Glasgow
"Lightweight, non greasy - great for combination and sensitive skin"
Helen, Peterborough
"Have tried other brands but none do the job like Akin - I'm a complete convert to their hair and skincare"
Helen, Peterborough
"It absorbs quickly in the skin and not oily. I love that!"
