Black

It's a grey/black color however, when it is applied to the skin it goes on clear. I hope that this helps!

It is sort of a translucent charcoal color but once you cannot see the color when it is applied.

It is gray. I have not had a problem with it showing on my face at all. It rubs in completely and easily.

The gel is a dark charcoal gray/black.

Black

it's gray, but clear when you put it on.

Yes, the gel is tinted. It's a very sheer gray color when it comes out of the jar, but does not have any noticeable color when applied to your face! I hope this helps.

It's black, but once you rub it in there's no color or shimmer. Just a healthy glow.

Not if used correctly. Like most other moisturizers, must be massaged in completely or may leave a temporary tint ( 5 minutes at most).

The black blends away. You don't see it after you rub it into your skin.

The product is colored black but it does not apply any color on your skin

It is a VERY sheer charcoal color that completely turns clear once absorbed. It leaves no black or gray residue and absorbs quickly - I actually appreciate the tint because it helps me use the right amount.

Yes, but only for a moment. As it's first appled the gel is black, but with each movement of your fingers rubbing it in, the colour disappears and only the cool breeze feeling remains.

Yes, it's a clear black.

Yes, it's a bit strange

It is black-ish because of the charcoal, but once you smooth it over your skin its clear

When it comes out of the container it has an opaque black tint ot it...but when moisturized into your skin the black fades away. Even if you just brush it over your skin lightly and don't massage it in...it still fades away. You wont have any black on your skin from this moistruizer and it works great......especially since the charcoal absorbs oil and impurities while detoxifying....it's lke a spa treatment and mositurizer all in one. Besides if you try it and don't like it...just return it for free. I have a feeling once you try it you will not only be keeping it.....but raving about it to all of your friends. I will warn you push gently to release the gel....i pushed down really hard one time by accident and it shot up into the air, lol.

Yes, it is black - but it instantly disappears on your skin. You won't see any color.

it's gray, but disappears when applied.

thank you dear beauties for your insight...
I get way too excited about this stuff because its truly magical and i guess ive been overdoing it a little bit
i will try to use less than a pump and see where it gets me
THANK YOU!

Always remember a little does get you a long way. I only use about half a pump every morning and night. One jar can last me about a good month and a half. Who knows maybe Boscia will release a larger size? Until then monitor the amount of portions you use for your face to really make that jar last longer.

just under two months for me. I used about 3/4 a pump and used it 2x/day.

I find that 1/2 a pump is plenty. Mine has been in use for a month now, but I only use it in the morning. It's great!

I have noticed this too. I use about a half pump twice daily and run out about every 2.5 - 3 weeks. My first jar I made the mistake of using it more frequently as I was experiencing really dry skin (beginning of winter), and I got about a week and a half out of it :( Definitely have to pace yourself with it!

Both! But if I had to pick one, I would say day.

I use it both day and night I use it before my sunscreen and the last thing I put on before bed time. I suggest using it at night after serums and treatments

I use it AM and PM. It's great for both.

Either is fine, but I use it mostly at night or after I use a mask. Masks tend to dry my skin out a little and this really helps with that.

I use this both day and night and is so flexible based on your needs. If you like light hydration in the morning before makeup and heavier at night I'd wear it only in the morning. However, I don't like anything heavy at night so I use this both AM & PM. If you are looking for something with SPF during the day, I'd use it only in the morning. My foundation has SPF so It's not something I'm worried about!

It IS a moisturizer. Very light, fast absorbing, seems to have a matte finish, doesn't leave my face greasy halfway through the day. Has done wonders for T zone and shrinks pores.

I have combination skin and I use this as a treatment. It gives you a little glow, but not enough moisture to skip moisturizer all together. I have been using a mattifying lotion with SPF. The combination of both makes me look all "glowy"

I like to use it more at night when your skin produces a lot of sebum. I prefer another moisturizer during the day, especially in winter. Well moisturized skin in combination with a makeup primer holds make-up more effectively. Remember to find one with SPF.

I've used this as a regular moisturizer and it's worked well for me. That might not be the case for everyone, but from the moisture I got from the product, I'd say it would be a common occurrence.

I think it is a great moisturizer. I don't use anything else when I use it. It also has a very refreshing feeling. I loved it!

Yes. I have normal to oily, especially in T zone, 43 year old skin.its great.

Yes. Lesser amount of oily residue yet feeling incredibly moisturizing. However, I have yet to use this product in the winter.

It worked on my oily T-zone and sensitive cheeks. If it works on those extremes, I'd say it would work on mature skin as well.

I would definitely try the product before buying, if you can. However, I have not reacted negatively to the product and it works with my oily skin. I am not sure how intensive this moisturization will be for your needs, as it works more to clarify.

This is perfect under make up. It's very light, fast absorbing, no greasiness. I use less powder in my T zone due to the matte finish.

It is okay as long as you have a good primer. I prefer other Boscia products that have SPF. A good primer to use in combination is the Boscia T-Zone treatment. Allows you to use less powder. The lesser amount of makeup, generally, is one of the steps to better skin.

Absolutely. The first time I used this was to prep for costume makeup and it worked beautifully. I almost didn't need a primer!

Yes! I use it underneath my Laura Mercier primer and tinted moisturizer and it makes a huge difference. It helps keep my skin from getting really oily and it helps reduce my pore visibility (over time). The cooling sensation helps close your pores, which is great before putting any makeup on. I use it daily, even if I don't plan on wearing makeup.

Lighter areas on my face where I had been using a lightening cream are starting to even out. I have combination skin and I still use a mattifying lotion with this gel. My dark spots are starting to flake off, but I use Retin-A as well.

From what I understand, we have the same skin. For me, the product barely moisturized, especially this season (winter), and it did make me break out pretty bad. I had red bumps all over my forehead and jawline but once I stopped using, they practically went away on their own. I hope this helps!

For me its enough. I also have acne scars and I break out very easily. It helps with fading uneven skin tone. If you are already oily, this is enough moisture.

I don't think this will be good for drier winter skin. Since you have breakouts, I would recommend Murad's Skin Perfector, which is oil free but more emolient. Try a sample at your local Sephora, if possible.

I don't consider my skin sensitive but when I first put this on my face I got a burning sensation. The burning sensation went away after five minutes or so and is replaced by a cooling sensation (fire & ice??). I recommend trying it out first before you get it in full size.

i would get a sample and try it for about a week if you can. this gel has ingredients that cause a "cooling sensation" that may actually irritate your skin. i had this for about two weeks and then after my skin became more sensitive from the dry weather, the cooling ingredients started to sting when i applied just a little bit.

yes, if anything it soothes my sensitive skin

I would say this product is safe for people with sensitive skin. My skin typically becomes dry the second I use anything that's even a little bit harsh, and I've seen nothing but beautiful, soft skin!
