Review (3/5): PUMP BROKEN, had to pry open and transfer to another jar.
Yep...these pumps are really crappy make, as I have seen with other reviews...so bad, because I would have give 5 star for the moisturizer...but now, that it has been adulterated and had to be scooped into another old container, I feel weird...
Anyway, overall, it feels greasy, thick and heavy at first, BUT do not despair, in about 2 minutes it absorbes perfectly into your skin and feels clean, moisturized and never greasy, perfect base for make up.
Somehow did make my skin look healthier, plumper, and cause absolutely no breakouts...I did noticed some blackheads and pores on my nose filling up so it is possible that the oils kind of accumulate, but right after using exfoliator, I was fine again...
would buy again, but PLEASE, fix those damn pumps...I cannot run back to the post office every time...and I will not like keeping defective product again!
UPDATE 12/21/14
Very sad to report that now I have stopped using the cream alltogether. I will post update if anything changes.
Reasons: As I have mentioned in my first review, I noticed this cream is very heavy, but absorbs very well. However over past weeks of using it, it seems it has completely blocked my pores, in a very sneaky, slow, invisible manner. The problems started when l found painful bumps between my eyebrows and on my temples and huge hard pores on my chin. I do not use hair products, so it is not from that. I am a picker, so tried to relieve these pores by extracting the blackheads, and exfoliating, in hopes it would relieve them, as well as aid in removing the deposits this moisturizer might leave during the day. I tried this for a while only to find more sneaky blackheads and whiteheads forming in places I would have never had this problem before. See, I have a skin that sometimes has outbreaks but not in the typical oily/teenager spots, but since I have started using this cream, the areas of no problems before have become breeding grounds for families of nasty, hardened pores. Unfortunately they are very hard, painful and almost impossible to remove without damage...I have stopped using the moisturizer and now will wait it out. I guess I might do better with a gel based moisturizer.
