๐ต ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ (for reference, I have combination-oily skin prone to acne, some areas prone to dehydration and recently some sensitized areas)
I've been using this cream for a few weeks, in all my AM and in most of my PM routines. It works nicely with other skincare products, does not cause pilling and is absorbed quickly, allowing sunscreen application in a matter of minutes. I had already used products with collagen and green tea and loved them for their plumping and soothing/anti-acne properties, respectively, but it was the first time I tried squalane and macadamia seed oil as ingredients. Interestingly, squalane is a lipid naturally found in the skin, and its production slows down during our 20s and 30s, leading to drier and rougher texture. Macadamia seed oil is full of nourishing lipids, among them squalane. These two ingredients can help protect, regenerate and moisturize the skin, boosting keratin and collagen production. No wonder this product works great as a moisturizer! It leaves my skin looking plump and healthy, which I love, and hydration lasts a whole day/night. I did not find this cream particularly soothing though, but I already use other products to address this. It did not trigger acne nor cause any irritation, even when I had more sensitized areas due to retinoid use. The texture is that of a gel cream, and thereโs a subtle fresh scent which I enjoy.
Packaging-wise, it comes in an aesthetic plastic jar. I usually prefer skincare products in pumps or tubes as they are more hygienic. Thereโs an intermediate lid that closes tightly. It contains 50 mL and is really affordable!
๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ : 4.5/5! Definitely recommend this moisturizer for normal and combination-oily skin, although it might not be moisturizing enough for dry skin.
Jar packaging, not soothing, not moisturizing enough for dry skin
