Absorbs well I thought it might feel dry when squeezing it out, but when I applied it to my face, it wasn't as dry as I expected and spread nicely. 2. Fragrance I prefer fragrance-free products for everything. Some products claim to be unscented but still have a peculiar smell. I liked that this one truly had no scent. 3. I noticed the pregnancy-safe mark on the side of the product, which made me feel confident about its safety. ☆ Follow-up review after a few months Suddenly, my skin became unbearably itchy, to the point where I'd scratch in my sleep and even bleed. When I went to the dermatologist, they said it was dry skin and told me to moisturize well. While taking medication, I applied moisturizing emulsion several times a day for days with no effect. But when I switched to this product, I saw a big improvement in just 3 days. The itching is almost gone too. Before, I thought it left an oily feeling that wasn't fully absorbed, but that wasn't the case at all. Now, whenever I feel my skin getting dry, I immediately use this product. I also use it on top of body emulsion. It's become a staple for me.
ConsIt seemed to lack in absorption. I used it on my children's faces, and when I touched their skin a little while after application, it felt like the product hadn't fully absorbed and was still sitting on the skin's surface. My husband doesn't like products that feel sticky or oily, and he said this one did. Rather than a fresh finish, it felt quite rich. The price-to-volume ratio is disappointing. While it's great that it's safe enough for pregnant women to use, making it versatile for the whole family, considering the price and amount, it seems like we can only afford to use it on our faces, which is a shame.

I was stressed, trying different aloe masks and intensive creams every evening. That's when the Bonavella moisturizing cream arrived at my home. I have sensitive combination skin that gets itchy and flaky like a skin condition, especially during seasonal changes and dry periods like now. First, I checked the ingredients and felt reassured to use it right away. Despite the small size, I applied it generously to areas with severe flakiness. It wasn't as thick or heavy as I expected, and it absorbed well with a smooth texture. My skin usually reacts badly to products with high oil content or pore-clogging ingredients, but Bonavella felt light and pleasant. After sleeping one night, my skin was soothed and the white flakes had significantly reduced. I also tried it on my 4th-grade daughter whose moisturizer had just run out. She's entering puberty, so I avoided using intensive creams on her face, fearing they might be too heavy and cause blemishes. But her skin had become rough due to winter. After using Bonavella for two days, I could definitely feel her skin becoming more hydrated. She used to dislike her previous aloe vera cream for being too greasy, but now she applies Bonavella on her own. With her sensitive skin, wearing a mask all day usually causes irritation around her mouth, but it seems to be much calmer now. When a red blemish appeared on her forehead one morning before school, I dabbed some cream on it, and by evening, the redness had subsided. (I also have very dry hands and feet. Despite being in my late 30s, my hands feel as rough as a grandmother's. When I first applied it, I felt the cool moisture and saw a glow - exactly what you'd expect from a good moisturizer. I generally prefer creams that claim to strengthen the skin barrier.)
ConsThe size is a bit disappointing... It would be great if it came in a 100ml size at a similar price point. While the low oil content is nice, it didn't provide extremely intense hydration. This might actually make it more suitable for daily use.
TipBefore bed, I mix it with my usual Nuxe oil and massage it into my face. For two days in a row now, I've woken up to hydrated, glowing skin. It really works!

Unbeatable hydration and long-lasting effect At first, when I applied it to my hand, it didn't feel like a moisturizer, so I thought it wouldn't be very hydrating. But when I put it on my face, it was incredibly moisturizing. Best of all, I was thrilled that there was no deep dryness when I woke up in the morning after applying it at night! My husband, who has combination dehydrated skin, tried it too and said it wasn't too rich but he could really feel the hydration! 2. Absorbs like a dream When applied, it doesn't just sit on the face but really absorbs well into the skin. I could layer other products like eye cream almost immediately after! This was fantastic. Sometimes creams take a while to sink in, making it difficult to layer other products. The absorption speed was perfect! 3. Suitable for the whole family! I noticed a pregnancy-safe symbol on the box! So I gently applied some to my 4-year-old daughter too. She has super sensitive skin and has only used two types of emulsions until now, but this one seemed suitable! We've been using it for 3-4 days, and her skin still feels soft and smooth. From very dry to combination dehydrated skin, and even for children - it's great that the whole family can use it! Perfect for my very dry winter skin! I think I've finally found my holy grail!
ConsTo be honest, I didn't find any downsides for me, but I thought it might be a bit disappointing for those who want a richer feel. It was perfect for me as I only wanted hydration. It seems a bit weak in terms of oil content. If you're looking for a more oily, rich texture, this might be slightly lacking.
TipA little goes a long way as it absorbs quickly and provides ample hydration. I recommend applying it gradually in small amounts rather than using too much at once.
