Real Barrier - Robynrose review for Intense Moisture Hyaluronic Cream

I received this as a gift from both Neopharm and Picky in exchange for my honest review 🌱 Claims: All Neopharm products are free from: Parabens, Ethanol, Propylene Glycol, Mineral Oil, Phenoxyethanol, PEG, Artificial Fragrances, Benzophenone, Diethanolamine and Artificial Pigments. Also Alcohol-free, Paraben-free, Sulfate-free, Allergen-free, Fragrance-free, Pregnancy-friendly, Non-comedogenic, Eczema-Safe 🌱 Key Ingredients: Myristoyl/palmitoyl oxostearamide/arachamide mea: This is the “MLE technology” that Neopharm claims sets their products apart. These are the synthetic ceramides and pseudo-ceramides that mimic skin’s natural barriers. From my testing, yes, they moisturise. This cream has a laundry list of some of the gentlest, most soothing and hydrating ingredients in skincare. Almost too many to list! 🌱 Panthenol - humectant 🌱 Carthamus Tinctorius Oil - fatty acids, hydration 🌱 Ectoin - hydration 🌱 Linoleic acid - anti-aging, hydration 🌱 Phytosterols - hydration, skin-soothing 🌱 Allantoin - skin-soothing 🌱 Madecassoside - Active component in Centella Asiatica, soothing antioxidant 🌱 Arginine - antioxidant, humectant 🌱 Tocopheryl Acetate - vitamin E, antioxidant 🌱 Texture: A lightweight cream with a hint of a gel texture from the inclusion of hyaluronic acid. The best of both worlds, in my opinion. It’s rich enough that it holds moisture in, but light enough that it layers well under sunscreen and makeup. 🌱 Scent: None! I talked before about how I felt the sun cream and mist would be fantastic without scents. Well, here it is. Perfection! 🌱 Price: $36CA for 60mL or $0.60/mL 🌱 Application: Somehow, this product does everything. It’s light, it’s strong, it’s hydrating, it’s non-greasy. It lasts all day, but doesn’t smear or pill under makeup. I’m seriously impressed. All while being hypo-allergenic and 100% scent-free. Although I received this as part of a review event, I cannot say enough good things about this. I think it might knock my holy grail Rovectin Clean Lotus Water cream off the number one spot on my shelf. It’s good. It’s really good. 🌱 Other uses: If you see my face, you know I just have permanently chapped lips. I love how this product combines HA with their skin-similar lipid formula. The thick scaliness of my dry lips softens immediately. And it has no weird taste! 🌱 Every day: Yes, I would recommend this for daily use for anyone with dry, sensitive skin. Even those with extremely dry, damaged skin. There are no fragrances or essential oils to irritate cracked or chapped skin. Only moist goodness. 🌱 Notes: This cream does contain a low amount of dimethicone, which is a silicone, for texture enhancement. I have not experienced any pore clogging. 🌱 Packaging: This cream comes in a slim translucent tube with a flip-cap (My favourite!) I am able to easily open and dispense the product with one hand. 🌱 Accessibility: I prefer a flip-cap to caps that require twisting or pulling because they can be used with one hand, and are less likely to slip away. Accessibility is great! 🌱 Sustainability: This product is not refillable. The cap can be recycled. 🌱 Overall: Soothing, hydrating and 100% unscented. I can confidently recommend this to those with even the most delicate dry, damaged, sensitive skin. 11/10 amazing.
