I have been using this as a face moisturizer at night, and it has completely transformed my skin. I live in SoCal, and the weather is in the middle of changing. Yesterday we had 5% humidity, temperature has been vacillating between the high 80s and low 50s. My skin is unbelievably dry, especially my face. As a total skincare junkie, I’ve been using two different types of moisturizer, straight Argan oil, Marine Hyaluronics by The Ordinary, and rosewater. Nothing worked. My undereyes were peeling. My foundation and concealer caught every single dry spot to the extent that I couldn’t wear makeup without looking like I had a peeling sunburn underneath. I was just about fed up when I Googled “best moisturizer for dry skin” and this came up. This is a new holy grail.
The (Mild) Downsides:
The smell is not phenomenal, a bit like paint, almost. It scared me at first, but I have very sensitive skin, and it hasn’t irritated it. I believe the smell is natural. I also get reactive breakouts to some products, but not this, so even though it’s thicker than acrylic paint, fear not.
That brings me to my next point— this is THICK. Very, very thick, and depending on the temperature, difficult to spread. I usually just take the opportunity to massage my face, but once I get to the thin eye area I swap to a patting motion OR cut it with some Argan oil.
It feels sticky but once it sinks in it really isn’t. It may be best to think of it as an overnight mask, or in very thin layers, a primer. This will make your skin incredibly happy and hydrated, but it will also make you shine like a freshly waxed floor if you lay it on thick during the day. A little does go a long way, but it’s tough to get that little to go the way.
All downsides have been 200% worth it for me. My skin is no longer peeling at all. My light coverage foundation goes on the way you see in commercials. My concealer is working without issue. My skin feels plump and not-fatigued. I have even been able to return to using my retinol and glycolic acid in spite of the extremely dry weather, and my skin is STILL happy and moisturized.
I could not recommend this enough if you’re at a loss with dry skin, and if you aren’t afraid of stickiness, lay it on thick and sleep in it.
