Review (3/5): A bit too oily for my skin. Most of the great ingredients are far down on the list...
This PENEBELLA Anti-Aging Face Cream is filled with emollient oils, and not much green tea, which is something I love in a skin care product. My skin is normal to oily, but also sensitive, and cannot handle all of the oils in this product. It sort of just sits on top of my skin.
I really wish the company would have listed the ingredients, instead of pointing out the great ingredients that are in minute amounts. Aside from glycerin, the other touted ingredients are almost halfway down, or lower, on the ingredients list, or are not so skin friendly. Green tea is wonderful for your skin, but it is near the bottom of the ingredients list. Also, the type of vitamin C, Ascorbyl Palmitate, is not very skin friendly, and can actually be very irritating to sensitive skin, like mine.
This moisturizer may work well for those with very dry skin, but I would have liked to see the boasted about skin loving ingredients closer to the top of the ingredients list. Full transparency is always best, and will make customers happy. Listing some wonderful ingredients that are minimally effective in very small amounts, is a bit misleading. This moisturizer has way too many oils for my skin, is a bit irritating, and is not my favorite...
