Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
The pump type makes it easy to apply after a bath. It's smooth and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, so I plan to continue using it.
I won a gift this summer. I used it during the dry season, but unfortunately I didn't feel it was a particularly necessary product for skin care. When I touched my skin after application, it felt moist, but it felt dry and tight, which was a first for me. My skin feels moist to the touch. For me, lotion → emulsion → Care Cera AP Cream is enough. The Care Cera emulsion that I also won was good.
I bought this because it was getting a lot of buzz on social media. It's amazing. I bought it because I'm suffering from severe dryness in the winter. I haven't changed my skincare routine since summer, so there's no way I could endure the dryness in winter. If you apply this emulsion after your introductory serum and then your toner, your skin will absorb the beauty ingredients quickly, leaving you with soft, supple skin. The key is to warm it up in your hands before using, and it's incredibly comfortable to use! I think I'll use it until summer arrives!
I bought this because a beauty expert I follow on social media recommended it. It's made by Rohto Pharmaceutical, and even though it contains ceramides and Vaseline, it's not sticky! I was previously using Albion's pre-moisturizing lotion, but this is even easier to use! Just apply it after towel drying after a bath, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. It also seems to help the next skincare product I apply absorb better. I'm so glad I bought this! I even bought a refill before I finished it!
I have sensitive, atopic skin that's prone to dryness. Using skincare directly irritates my skin, so I need to use a pre-treatment oil. I'd been using RMK's W Treatment Oil, but it somehow made my skin feel rough, so I became a pre-treatment oil gypsy. I was using a separate ceramide serum, so I was worried the ingredients might overlap, but it turned out to be a perfect match for my skin, improving my dryness without any noticeable irritation. My pores are less noticeable, and my skin condition has visibly improved. I'm so happy to have found such a great product at such an affordable price. I recommend this product to those with dry skin, those with inner dryness that causes oily skin, and those with sensitive skin that finds skincare products irritating.
