   I thought this cream would be too heavy as I have combination skin however, my skin is also sensitive and my (now yearly) perioral dermatitis flared up again recently so I knew I had to ditch the mattifying moisturiser and find something calming instead. I’ve been using this day and night; it’s soothed the dermatitis almost immediately and, along with virgin coconut oil, cleared it up very quickly. I’m so impressed! Overall my skin feels hydrated, soft and, most surprisingly, balanced (which has made me reassess my skin’s needs and whether addressing shine actually made it greasier…). I’m hoping this will protect me throughout the cold winter too. Anyway, back to the lotion – it feels a tad sticky at first but sinks right in and has little to no odour, plus the ingredient list is tiny, which is great for reactive skin like mine. The tube packaging is hygienic and for such great results, the price is fair. If your skin needs calming and soothing, I would definitely recommend trying this lotion, though perhaps only as a night cream for those with oily skin.

   My HG moisturizer! Love love love this moisturizer. I have combination-dry skin that tends to be more dry on my cheeks, eyebrows and forehead. I use this moisturizer in combination with the Weleda almond cleansing lotion and for me it’s perfect. It is not too heavy and doesn’t linger on my face for a long time without sinking in. Sometimes though, in the summer, if I sweat too soon after putting it on, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t sink into my face as fast and instead sweats off – this is very rare, however and doesn’t deter me at all from using this product. Paraben free (a must for me), light-weight yet ultra moisturizing, does not react on my sensitive skin and does not smell horribly. Great product!

   Note my skin type: Dry, Scarring, Acne-prone / Clog-prone, Sensitive

   I bought this after the initial reviews of the Weleda Skinfood but choose this product over the Skinfood because it felt less ‘heavy’ and ‘thick’. While it is soothing and ‘moisturizing’, its effects are of a temporary nature. The effects of this cream doesn’t last until noon, it needs a constant reapply.

   If you are planning to use this cream for dry winters along the coast line, then this is NOT the cream for you. If you are planning to use this cream for your sensitive, red, ragged nose during allergy season, then this is THE HG for you. I can only use the least scented, light, and non-intrusive lotions for my nose during hayfever season otherwise I end up triggering another sneezing session. It doesn’t reduce redness but it does sooth the irritated skin fairly well.

   Will I purchase this product again? No, not for the price I’m paying for at Whole Foods and the little productivity this item has.
