Barneys Is Making a Comeback With a Beauty Line — Here's My Unfiltered Review

The two creams in the Barneys lineup are the true standouts for me. The first is the Barneys New York Beauty Glocela Light Gel Cream ($138), which I'd say is the perfect daytime moisturizer. Gel moisturizers can be tricky: they can be sticky and pill under SPF or makeup, and oftentimes never quite sink into the skin. Not so for this gel cream. The consistency is like a lightweight jelly and glides onto the skin like a dream — it doesn't leave a residue or pill under whatever your next layer is. The cream also absorbs residual sebum, controlling oil production so that you look hydrated and plump without being slick.
