I have dry skin, especially in the winter. My main focus is that and as well anti-aging. I at times have sensitive skin, but itโs not too crazy. I am really curious about this product and if itโs all hype or not as the price is pretty steep. As well, if you enjoy it, do you prefer the โsoftโ or the original? And how long does it usually last you.
Composed primarily of meadowfoam seed oil, this overpriced cream is no more the ultimate moisturizer for face and body than a unicycle is the ultimate mode of transportation! On the ingredient list, fragrant ingredients follow the meadowfoam seed oil, along with wax (Yes, wax, for $290!) and irritating fragrant oils. The vitamin E and chamomile are helpful, but again, for the money, and by any professional standards, these are not the ultimate ingredients for aging skin; at best they are meager options for beneficial skin care. Meadowfoam seed oil is a good, non-fragrant moisturizing oil for dry skin, but it shows up in many less expensive moisturizers, including several from Aveda. Even if this product were well-formulated, the jar packaging would render that useless. What was fresh thinking?
@JennyE89I love the fresh brand personally but if you're questioning it I would say nah, it is great but if you have to stretch your dollars to make it work then I can guarantee you there's something just as good in a more comfortable price range.
Personally, if you want an anti-aging moisturizer that's gentle ALPYN BEAUTY - PlantGeniusยฎ Melt Moisturizer with Bakuchiol would be a great option. When/if I feel I need something extra- like in the winter- I'll layer an oil over it like
Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Balancing Oil 1.01 oz/ 30 mL
, HERBIVORE - Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil, or
The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane 1 oz/ 30 mL
- they all work just as well and have the same oil base (squalane). Using the oil is an extra step, but then I don't have to worry about my lotion being to heavy for summer
