I purchased this cleanser from mark on January 1st of this year and received it on January 8. I first used this product on January 9th.
The moisturizer claims:
If you’re feeling protective about your skin then try this oil-free moisturizer that helps protect skin’s natural beauty, and is packed with a powerful antioxidant combo of dark chocolate and blueberries, plus the all-important SPF 30 to guard against the sun’s damaging rays.
Read on to see how it worked for me!
It’s $16.00 for 1.7 fl. oz.
It’s supposed to be oil-free, non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.
It comes in an unusual container but I think I like it. When you remove the lid of the container, there’s basically a little hole for the moisturizer to come out. You slowly press the top of the container down, and it dispenses moisturizer. It’s basically an odd shaped pump. You then wipe the moisturizer off the top of the container and apply it to your face. It normally gives you all you need for one application.
It contains extracts of lemon, apple, fumaria officinalis, epilobium angustifolium, vanilla, cocoa, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and grape, making it very much a skin food, as mark claims.
The moisturizer itself feels more wet than my normal Garnier moisturizer. However, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily or greasy. There is no discernible odor.
I feel like this does a good job of moisturizing my face. Also, it doesn’t cause me to break out, which is fantastic. As I’ve been using it every day since January 9th, I was a bit worried that I would break out, but I haven’t experienced break outs from it.
Overall, I like this moisturizer. I like the lack of a scent. I like the fact that it’s SPF 30. I love that it doesn’t make my face feel greasy, yet it definitely feels well-moisturized. The container it comes in is interesting. I will definitely buy this moisturizer again, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new moisturizer.

Hello Cotton
Awesome! I didn't buy this because I was afraid of breaking out. I might try it when I run out of the sunscreen I am currently using. Thanks for the review!
I got this too, used it one time and wasn't too sure about it. I'll try it again now that I have a dermatologist that put me on some good acne meds!
Hi Phyrra! I'm glad to read that this didn't break you out… I wanted to try it but have such sensitive skin. Knowing that it works on your sensitive skin, I now will give it a go!
Gah! Darnit, Phyrra, will you quit posting reviews of awesome things that make me want to go on a shopping spree?
Just this week you've gotten me started on I Touch Roses, and then Meow's foundation, and now this! You are going to break my beauty bank.
But thank you for it, all the same.
Why Phyrra? Why do you make my wallet cry?
I've been wanting to try some Mark products but I just got a set of Boots face goodies in Decamber so maybe when I finsh I'll give Mark a try.
Hi Blix,
My favorite moisturizer before this was the Garnier Anti Sun Damage SPF28 with Vitamin C.
I really like this so far
Hi Jessica,
Let me know what you think
Hi Nina!
I'm honestly surprised sometimes by what bothers me and what doesn't. Let me know how it works for you.
Hi WitchWords,
Awww, you're welcome!
Hi Evil Angel,
Awww, I'm sowwy.
You should post about the Boots stuff! I've always been curious. I think I've tried one of their body scrubs.
I wasn't a huge fan on the pump. It worked once, got jammed and then refused to dispense anything from then on so I had to open it everytime
I tried the Matte Chance I think it was called. Didn't leave me matte but didn't hate my skin either 
Hi Axs,
That sucks!
Mine hasn't jammed at all, but I can see why that would be a pain. Is the matte chance a moisturizer or something else?
I need a good facial moisturizer that actually works and doesn't smell. I might have to get this. Thanks for the review Phyrra!
Hi Heather,
I think this one works pretty well.
My favorite before this was the Garnier Anti Sun Damage with vitamin C in SPF 28.
That pump sounds pretty cool, reminds me of the pump action in the Beautyblender cleanser bottle.
Awwh man, I was kinda hoping it would smell like dark chocolate
Hi Silhouette,
If you want dark chocolate, the Gudonya chocolate shower stuff is awesome!
