Hi everyone.
I've been through like 8 bottles of this cream now, and it's definitely not talked about enough in the community. It's a HG of mine, my first and actual HG in skincare.
My current skin type (using tretinoin for 9 months now)- dryer on cheeks and chin, oily on nose and forehead, very clogging prone, irritation prone (due to tret). I live in the extremely humid UK on the coast.
I'm not sure how many people can relate, but I swear EVERY. SINGLE. MOISTURISER. USED TO CLOG MY PORES AT THE END OF THE DAY. Like at the end of the day i would look in the mirror and see lots of new closed comedones. I have gone through an unbelievable amount of moisturisers to finally get to one, that didn't clog my pores and cause that. Looking for moisturisers is hell, because I've bought so many moisturisers in my life that I had to give away. So much money wasted.
My face skin hates niacinimiade, sunflower oil, shea butter, certain silicones. This cream has fantastic ingredients, and although it has sunflower seed oil, my skin doesn't seem to care in this formulation.
I use it in both the day and night, except for my 5 tret nights. As a 0.05 tret user, my barrier sometimes gets a bit damaged and irritated. Honestly, 1 application of this cream and it goes away. It's incredible for use with tret. In comparison, the PURITO Dermide cream did nothing for my tret skin. Too oily for day use, but for nights it wasn't moisturising enough, I'd wake up with dry skin. If my barrier was compromised, it took PURITO days to fix it.
This cream looks AMAZING under makeup. It makes you look like you have a filter on.
I am not sure if it would be heavy enough for night use for people on tret, who have a really dry skin type. I think it's perfect for day use, but you might need to use an additional occlusive layer with this cream.
Pros of this cream:
-NON CLOGGING!!!!!!!!!!!
-moisturising enough for tret use
-good moisturisers for both day and night use
-looks incredible under makeup
-heals an irritated barrier in 1 night
-creamy pudding consistency
-no smell
-CRUELTY FREE
-great for acne prone skin
Cons:
-can sometimes pill under BOJ sunscreen
-might not be heavy enough for people with super dry, eczema prone skin
-often out of stock
All in all, I love, love, love this cream. I ache that its only 80ml, because I go through it fairly quickly and it's not the cheapest here, so I have to order from Korea.
I have just ordered the toner, hopefully it is just as amazing.
