Community: 5 Ratings • 4 Reviews | Other Sources: 1 RatingsTo begin with, I have normal to dry skin-- with really dry, itchy skin near my ears and forehead. I decided to splurge on this item after hearing great reviews and carefully reading the ingredients (which are for the most part superb, except for the limonene, cintronellol, and added fragrance TT). If feels quite luxurious applying this watery, gel-like cream, which I attribute to the price and aesthetic packaging, and while it did moisturize my skin, especially during winter, it is not by any means revolutionary enough for me to spend 40$ on it. **tldr; Luxurious & moisturizing, too pricey for what it is **
This cream felt amazing on my dry skin. It spread smoothly and sank in quickly. It felt thick and moisturizing but not in a heavy way, and was not too greasy. I woke up the next day with such soft skin. There is a noticeable scent but it didn't bother me too much, although I do prefer unscented products. Unfortunately, I broke out on the side of my face I was patch testing on due to this cream so I can't use it anymore but I really hope I can find something like this.
I have oily skin, especially on the T zone and I've always been struggling with pores and blackheads. I've never had acne issues, even though my skin has always been really sensitive to any kind of change of ingredients in my skincare products.
I really need to hydrate my skin, especially during winter and I therefore need moisturizers that are not pore-clogging. This moisturizer left my skin too glowy and lucid but at the same time I felt it wasn't enough hydrated at the same time. It's just a normal moisturizer, definitely not the "bomb" it is advertised as, and it does its job. Nothing more though. And I am looking for something more than that in a moisturizer.
Unfortunately, after using this moisturizer for 1+ years I realized that it was occasionally breaking me out, especially around my chin and jawline. I noticed that when I took a break from it, my slightly acne prone skin would calm down, and tiny whiteheads on my forehead would diminish. I have looked closely at all the ingredients in my skincare and makeup and finally decided to cut it out of my routine. Using more occlusive moisturizers with propolis and no fragrance has changed my skin for the better and provided the hydration I was missing from this product as well. That being said, applying this product was a nice experience, and a lot of people with normal-dry skin types that are not overly sensitive swear by this cream.
