Soothing Gel Lotion

product review positives
[Description] as per Atopalm's site >Soothing Gel Lotion, a light, non-greasy, quickly absorbed, translucent gel type lotion. >Fortified with Neopharm’s MLE skin barrier protection formula with the an addition of Ceramide-9S ™ providing a protective layer to help relieve irritated skin. >With Hyaluronic Acid and bamboo derived water to provide hydration and also cooling , it helps calm reddened skin caused by over-exposure to the sun and stresses of the environment. >For moisturization this light weight gel lotion contains oils from naturally derived ingredients, Grape Seed, Safflower Seed, Evening Primrose, Jojoba Seed, Sunflower Seed, Sage and Sandalwood. >This cooling gel lotion spreads easily, absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky residue. Making it the ideal product to be used all over the body where needed. ✅ no fragrance ✅ no silicone ✅ no alcohol [Price] This Lotion is valued at $20 USD by Picky and by Atopalm, but Atopalm has this for $16 USD on their site. For the 4.0 fl oz size, $20 is reasonable, which makes $16 sound even better. I do think this is good value for money. [Texture] Very gel in texture with some opacity to the formula. It's actually a bit similar to the Pyunkang Yul Acne Cream, but with the heat of skin, this Atopalm lotion starts to melt down immediately. You can see in the media that it slides down my hand pretty readily. It goes very thin as I massage it in, spreads and absorbs very easily and quickly, and leaves skin feeling - not tacky - but as if the skin has been treated. [Scent] This does not contain added fragrance, but it does have a scent (bisabolol and oils?). Very subtly chemical in scent, but mostly quite pleasant and fresh smelling. I like it. [Conclusion] Would I purchase this myself? You know . . . I think I would! Not really for my face, though it does work better during the day than at night and I'd love to see how it does when the weather gets cold and dry, but I honestly LOVE love this for my body! It's also perfect for hands. It's not greasy at all, doesn't leave a slippery layer of oil, doesn't leave skin shiny, it just sinks in immediately. 🙋🏼I actually really want my husband to try this. He hates the feeling of product on skin, so this may be exactly what his dry, acne-prone skin needs! 👍I also think this would be a good one for combo to normal skin. *I received this product for free from Picky and ATOPALM in exchange for my honest review.
product review negatives
There isn't anything necessarily offensive in this formula, but there are quite a few oils (including olive oil and safflower) as well as emollients and fatty acids (sorbitan stearate, stearic acid). I've heard safflower is actually rather comedogenic. I just think this is too heavy for my skin. I've noticed I wake up rather oily after nighttime application, which is odd. But this lotion did not cause me to break out the few times I used this on my face, so I think I might be better off with it in drier weather, which is often my oily skin's issue.
