Review (5/5): Solid face cream in a tube!
First, the solid cream is solid. At first application I tried just putting it on my face directly from the tube and stopped almost immediately because I did not want to tug at my skin. Instead, I did the bar method of application by using my fingers on the top to warm it and then tapped it onto my skin. The next morning I let it sit on my cheek an extra moment and was apply to seamlessly apply with little to no tugging.
It's a a balm texture from the tube, but then melts into an almost oil/cream. While I find it takes a little for the oils to fully settle onto the skin once they do, I don't find it to be greasy or heavy.
I put this under my SPF in the morning like a serum, and it doesn't pill or bunch up or affect my sunscreen or makeup application after.
At night it's just the right amount of moisture to keep my skin happy and balanced. I have not had any break outs. There is no noticeable scent, neither on opening, applying or after wearing.
If you are new to solid face creams, serums, etc. give this a little time to find the right balance of how much, how long.
The price for the amount is a great value, and I really like the brands ecologically sound stance. I've been a fan of their haircare and am happy to branch out into the skin and face care.
