Super All-In-One Moisturizing Gel Cream
This gel cream aims to replace your serums and moisturizers with a single product. Therefore, it contains a number of ingredients to address a wide variety of concerns, including hydration (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, squalane), brightening (vitamin C, rice, licorice, ginseng), soothing (skullcap), and anti-aging (collagen). The star ingredient is hydrolized swiftlet nest, which is rich in protein, antiviral, and has anti-aging properties.
The product comes in a squeeze tube and has a loose gel consistency. It spreads easily over the skin and feels hydrating. I like to use it in the morning to support an additional vitamin C serum, because I like a stronger active.
Although Nanarobe claims their ingredients are sustainably sourced, there isn't any information available on how they obtain the swiftlet nest used in this product. Harvesting swiftlet nests can harm bird populations if offspring and eggs are destroyed in the process. Many countries, however, are now regulating the industry, and mandating that nests only be harvested after the babies are old enough to leave--which can actually help swiftlet populations. It would be helpful to know what farms Nanarobe works with to ensure ecological sustainability.
This isn't quite hydrating enough on its own for my dehydrated skin, so I like to layer it with a hydrating toner or cream.
The product has a strong citrus smell from the essential oils it contains. These oils can also be sensitizing for some people.
*Disclaimer: I was gifted this product in exchange for my honest opinion.
