Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by saying that I have used a LOT of creams/lotions/serums, etc. over the years. At 34 and with oily/combination/blemish prone skin I'm very picky about what I put on my face. I need something thoroughly moisturizing because my skin can get extremely dry and I also want to minimize the progression of wrinkles and aging, but it can't be too oily/heavy or cause me to break out. That's sometimes a hard combo to find. While I've discovered a handful of products that I do love, this face cream is truly and honestly my favorite -- EVER! I had been eyeing it on Amazon for awhile and finally decided to splurge on myself one day. I'm so glad I did! Here's a breakdown... TEXTURE/CONSITENCY -- Not only is the packaging adorable, but the cream feels divine... rich, smooth, and creamy, but not at all greasy or oily. It's not as thick as a body butter, but a little richer than some facial lotions. I also use this as my all-over eye cream and it's great for that purpose as well (just don't accidently get any in the corner of your eye... ouch... trust me). It's rich enough to give that delicate area the moisture it needs, but without interfering with makeup application or causing my eyeliner or mascara to smudge as the day wears on. Another one of my very favorite things about this cream is that it doesn't "pile" or roll off after application. One of my biggest beauty product pet peeves is when a product just sits on top of your skin after it dries and then if you touch your face or try to apply something else it balls up and rolls off. This cream doesn't do that at all, even when I apply another product underneath or on top. SCENT -- It really has no scent to speak of, perhaps just an ever so faint "natural" smell that is barely detectable, so it definitely won't clash with your signature scent or other products you might wear. ABSORBTION -- One of the things that amazes me most about this cream is how lightning fast it absorbs! I mean, it's seriously fast! You can apply makeup virtually immediately after applying it, no waiting around. It also plays nicely with other products, meaning you can add some of your own favorite essential oils or mix it with your serums, etc., without any weird consistency issues. It moisturizes incredibly well, but with absolutely zero greasy feel or shine. My face feels SO silky smooth after I apply it... so much so that I find myself touching my face to just enjoy how soft it feels. :) You can tell it really absorbs in and feeds your skin. PACKAGING -- A quick note on the packaging... when I purchased this it came in a 2.1 oz jar. Upon leaving this review I noticed the packaging has recently changed to a 1.7 oz bottle (I believe the price is still the same). Nonetheless, it is still well worth it and I will definitely be purchasing more when I run out! A little goes a long way and my 2.1 oz jar is still about half full even after over a month of use, so I think the price is fair for the quality you get.
