I've been using the Melvita Hydrastim Moisturizing Gel ($34), which is great for dehydrated skin and oily/combination skin. It combines the benefits of noni, mourera and aloe vera in an organic certified face care product. I haven't used it on my face all the way since I didn't want it to conflict with some of the products I'm currently using. I liberally apply this around my eye area for smoother and firmer skin as their site promises. I haven't used it long enough to reap the full benefits, but I like how instantly the eye area appears naturally brighter and revitalized.

Hydrastim provides lasting moisturization for dull and dehydrated skins and helps to reduce expression lines . The gel combines aloe vera, the extract of an Amazonian river plant, mourera fluviatilis , and hyaluronic acid derived from soya, which all provide remarkable hydro-regulating effects to keep the skin at its ideal moisturization level. This action is reinforced by a protective complex based on honey, lemon pectin, phospholipids and an extract of noni, a Polynesian plant with cleansing, anti-free radical and revitalizing properties.
