I gotta say that it isn't as hydrating as I'd like it to be, but it has never broken me out, and it's really soothing, I just know I can count on this product when my skin is irritated. I like to layer it, which makes it not last as much, but I find that layering creates a nice occlusion. I have oily skin, so for me this is enough most of the time, when my skin gets dry, i use an oil on top, and that seals all the goodness in.
I bought this because Hyram recommended it. The last time I tried his recommendation my skin was SO GOOD.
My skin is really sensitive & Oily. First time using it I was so pleased with the texture and the feeling it left on my skin. But after a week of using this i noticed small red bumps, slowly turns into red inflamed acne. I thought I was purging and continued to use this. After a month of using this I see no difference, my skin got worse. More raging acne and tiny bumps.
I have no idea why is this happening to me bc for the last 6 months I have never broke out this bad. And its funny to me my old moisturizer did better than this, even though the ingredients of Iunik was better than my old one.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong or maybe there is an ingredient I'm not suitable to?
But in conclusion my skin hates it :/ maybe if you have an oily and "less" demanding skin than mine, this will be perfect for you.
I live in a tropical climate in SEA where it is extremely humid and hot and have combination (oily/dry) skin. My skin can also be quite sensitive and some moisturizers have caused my skin to sting.
Results:
This moisturizer has reduced my redness tremendously and never once made my skin feel oily and disgusting even after a day out. My skin did not react to it badly at all unlike the previous moisturizer that I was using. The dry areas on my skin also feel adequately moisturized and never once felt so dry that it was stinging (this happens frequently with other gel moisturizers). My skin has also really improved and now has a plump and soft texture with a glow.
It takes about a few weeks to notice the changes
Texture and Feel:
It's texture is thick but gel-like yet it feels really light on the skin.
Dries pretty fast so you might need to use quite a bit and apply it quick.
Has a pleasant smell. May not be suitable for people who strictly do not want any fragrance in their skin care.
Pricing and packaging:
I think it is really cheap for the effects that I am getting.
The ingredient list also show fairly good ingredients and nothing too extra/unnecessary.
Packaging is really minimalistic but one thing I don't like about it is that the exterior of the tube can get scratched up easily. My previous tube is full of scratch marks just by being inside my skin care pouch.
I really love this moisturizer and I am on my second tube. Highly recommended !
