Stripped Beauty - hmpocketglam review for Neptune Face Cream

I was sent Stripped Beauty Neptune Face Cream complimentary to use and review. This moisturizing face cream is best for normal and dry skin and is vegan and cruelty-free. This face cream is bright white and incredibly thick and creamy. There is a barely-there scent to this cream that I have not been able to identify yet but I would imagine can be attributed to shea butter and blue lotus flower extract, both of which are included in this product, along with jojoba oil, squalane, algae and kelp extract. This combination of antioxidant-rich moisturizing and hydrating ingredients provide lasting moisture throughout the day. This is the second product from Stripped Beauty I've tried, the first being their lip balm, which I love. That being said, I started using Neptune Face Cream with incredibly high expectations, based on my previous experience with the brand. Neptune did not disappoint me. The texture is amazingly thick and rich yet somehow lightweight. Stripped Beauty's commitment to high quality and their "formula first" philosophy shines through in this cream. I do notice some slight stickiness immediately after applying to my face but this dissipates quickly and leaves my skin feeling silky and well moisturized. I have dry/combination skin and have found that this cream, while great for day or evening use, works best for me in the evening. It provides the perfect amount of moisture and protection after using actives such as retinols in my evening routine. My current thoughts about Neptune are very positive. Although I've only this cream for a couple of weeks I appreciate the thorough moisturizing and softening effects on my skin. It has become a staple in my evening routine and I can imagine it will be perfect in the fall and winter months when my skin tends to be more dry. This jar was gifted but I will be repurchasing this product.
