Blissoma Pure Sensitive Skin Soothing Complex
I actually had two samples of this - one from a Petit Vour box and one that I received in a Foxy Mango order - so I was able to test this out for close to a month and get a good feel for it. Blissoma products are always packed full of herbal goodness and this is no exception. With shea butter, marshmallow root, plantain, self heal, heather, and lots more, Pure is an excellent product for soothing redness and irritated or inflamed skin and it's been a pleasure to use. It's a thick, substantial moisturizer, but it melts into the skin beautifully and actually ends up feeling quite weightless. The formula is unscented, but it does have a very herbal scent from the ingredients. Definitely a product I could see buying in the future.
Trilogy Very Gentle Moisturizing Cream
Trilogy's Very Gentle line is fragrance and essential oil free and the moisturizer is intended to soothe and protect the skin barrier while deeply hydrating and comforting the skin. The cream instantly eliminated any redness on my face and I also noticed less redness over the course of the day. It felt pretty rich - though not overly heavy - and did take a couple minutes to fully sink in. I'm using one of Trilogy's other moisturizers now, but I might come back to this one in the future.
Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Beautiful Day Cream and Heavenly Night Cream
I'm not usually one for rose scents, but these ones - which were something of a sweet, candy-like rose - were surprisingly okay. And, I liked the creams themselves too. Both were soothing and quite hydrating, while also absorbing quickly. I preferred the Day Cream over the Night, as I noticed a bit of a slimy coating when I wet my face in the mornings after using the Night Cream the night before. I didn't have any adverse skin reaction in the few days the sample lasted, but I worry that whatever the coating element is might cause one with longer use. The Day Cream was a little lighter in texture and didn't leave any kind of coating on the skin.
Pai Avocado & Jojoba Hydrating Day Cream
I always want to love Pai, but their products sometimes just don't do it for me. I think this is one of the richer moisturizers in the line and it felt too heavy for my skin. The jasmine scent - although light - wasn't my favorite either and didn't help to endear this product to me. I'd be curious to try a different moisturizer from the line, but this one wasn't a hit.
Green Beaver Green Tea Facial Cream
Green Beaver is good for affordable, basic skincare and the Green Tea Facial Cream was no different. There's nothing wrong with it - it's a decent unscented, lightweight moisturizer - but there are other moisturizers I like a lot more.
Have you used any of these? What do you look for in a moisturizer?

I'm totally going through your blog that I have recently discovered lol. I've been using the Andalou night cream, and I gotta say I'm kind of in love. I've noticed a major difference in my skin since I started using it. To be fair though I'm kind of on a rose kick right now lol
ReplyDeleteI've been super impressed with Andalou's skincare recently too! I love how the 1000 Roses products work for people who love rose and not - I'm usually not huge on rose, but I actually really enjoyed these :)
