it may be too little nourishing for dry or dehydrated skin like mine. during the current heat wave it's great but if you need a little extra hydration or your skin is really dry this alone wouldn't be enough 

there are a few potentially irritating ingredients so if you have really sensitive skin you should be careful using this one 

the lightweight gel texture leaves a refreshing sensation on the skin
 
Enriched with centella water (72%) and completely oil free this is a great summer moisturizer to leave your skin hydrated but not greasy 

might be too heavy for oily skin types or during summer times 

I really enjoy this cream - fragrance free and packed with ceramides and fermented centella making it anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. it has a fluffy almost stringy texture reminding me of snail mucin 

applies easily and leaves my skin soft and smooth 

it leaves a really glowy and deey finish which might not be for everyone cause it has a tendency to look greasy especially after reapplying 

if you have sensitive skin and struggle to find a sunscreen that doesn´t cause irritation or redness you might wanna take a look at this one from ANUA

it is a chemical spf with 5 different UV filters and a beautiful blend of plant extracts and ingredients to soothe & hydrate the skin while also protecting it from the sun and UV rays. it is fragrance free, essential oil free and doesn´t contain alcohol

it has an airy, lightweight texture and leaves a silky smooth finish on the skin without feeling greasy or oily. it doesn´t sting my eyes (which is a personal no-go for me when it comes to sunscreen)

it absorbs effortlessly leaving zero whitecast

it does contain shea butter and oils so it might not work for oily skin types.


dear klaris midnight blue calming cream💙

I received this product for free from Picky and Dear Klairs in exchange for my honest review

if you have really sensitive skin or rosacea you should definitely give this little blue wonder cream from dear klairs a try!
 
its formulated with a powerful mixture of ingredients that are soothing and anti-inflammatory but also very repairing and anti-aging
 
key ingredients are
🪻guaiazulene - it´s a botanical component extracted from chamomile oil. it has strong soothing and repairing properties to help regenerate damaged skin and bring relief to irritated skin
+ the guaiazulene gives the cream its natural deep blue color
🌿centella asiatica - helps to deeply hydrate skin while relieving it of redness and calming sensitivity
⚪️ceramides, hyaluronic acid & shea butter - balancing your skins moisture and oil levels while delivering long lasting hydration
 
at first I was a bit sceptical that this might be a bit too heavy for my skin because it does contain oils and shea butter but when applied it doesn´t feel heavy at all. it glides on smoothly and leaves a cooling sensation on the skin feeling like a little breeze
 
 

only downside is the stickiness for me…it absorbs effortlessly but it leaves behind a tacky and sticky feeling that lingers for some hours.

if you like probiotic or fermented ingredients you might wanna have a look at this cream from 107

it has a fluffy, rich and smooth consistency especially made to deeply nourish dry or dehydrated skin. it has a cream to gel texture that absorbs quickly while strengthening the barrier with a powerful blend of vitamins, amino acids and probiotics

so what´s the thing with pro-/postbiotics in skincare?

>> our skin has its own natural microbiome which consists of a population of bacteria living on our skin. this microbiome helps the skin to protect itself from external stressors and maintain a healthy barrier. probiotics + postbiotics (peptides, acids & enzymes) produced during fermentation nourish and care for the skin's natural microbiome supporting the good bacteria which ultimately supports the function of the skin's protective barrier and reduces skin inflammation, sensitivity and irritation.
my experiences: after two weeks of using it in my pm routines my skin feels plump and hydrated. I can definitely say this is rich enough for dry skin

it´s artificial fragrance free and cruelty-free
