How To Use
After thoroughly cleansing your skin, apply a nickel sized amount of the cream to your face. If using toners, serums etc. use those first, as moisturizer is always the last step in a skincare routine unless its day time when SPF should be worn. Gently massage into the skin using circular motions going with the face muscles in an upward, not against. This will prevent premature signs of aging such as sagging skin.
My Thoughts
It is in the negatives during the Winter in AK; sometimes down to -40 depending on what area you live in and this moisturizer has not let me down yet this Winter. It has a pleasant earthy smell from the centella asiatica in it that I like and does not cause me to sneeze or have watery eyes. Something I often have to deal with because when I apply moisturier I apply it all over my face as well as my decolote to make sure all areas of my skin recieve some TLC. The texture is interesting because it feels like a mixture of cream and gel. It is viscous but not to the point of it being overly watery, and falling out of your hand when applying the product. It is lightweight, and feels lightweight after it is applied to the face which I greatly appreciate because of my aversion to heavy textured products. If you are not a fan of the layering skin routine that Kbeauty introduced over the years then you will like this moisturizer. I find that I can use this coupled with a serum, essence, and toner just fine without any pilling from it not mixing well. For me I find I can use it alone and still get the hydrating benefits from it, or I can go for maximum hydration and moisture and pair it with other products.
