Review (3/5): Wouldn’t Recommend for Dry Skin
I bought this hoping it would be a morning moisturizer. It came well-packaged and with a safety seal, and I have no complaints about the tube itself (easy squeeze tube for no mess and hygienic). The texture of the product is interesting—it’s thick and bouncy, and once it starts warming up on your hand, it applies fairly easily. There is really no scent, and there is a decent amount of product in the tube. The issues I have with the product, however, is the absorption rate and its spreadability on my skin (for reference, I have dry, sensitive skin). This stuff absorbs VERY quickly once it’s spread on the skin, which in this case is not really a good thing. It sticks to your skin where you spread it and doesn’t budge, which makes me tug at my skin inadvertently in an effort to massage the product more thoroughly all over my face. The finishing texture/spreading feeling on the face is very reminiscent of glue. On my skin, it’s also not nearly moisturizing enough—it feels like it’s just sitting on top of my skin.
I wouldn’t recommend this for people with dry skin, it’s just not hydrating enough. The spreadability and odd glue-like feeling of the product is also just not for me. I like thick and emollient moisturizers (for instance, the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face cream is one of my all-time favorites) and so I thought I’d like this one, but it doesn’t spread or absorb very well. It feels almost more like a gel than a cream.
I do still use this product, but only for my neck as an added skincare step at night. I no longer use it on my face.
