MAYBENA Intensive Moisture Barrier Cream

((Empty bottle review)) #Quick take: Well... Not really... Meh... #Dry skin To be honest, I'm not sure about the good points, but I'll try to list a few: 1. Texture with a nice lightweight feel 2. Soft and hydrating when applying

A product with many disappointments for dry skin 1. After applying as a base and letting it absorb, skin feels dry and makeup doesn't adhere well 2. Therefore, it falls short in its role as a hydrating moisturizer 3. Probably unusable in the dead of winter 4. When applied at night, skin gradually feels more dehydrated

Mixing it with the Popo Cream I received as a gift in a 1:0.5 ratio helps supplement the moisture

The texture is like a combination of a gel and a cream - just the right in-between feeling!! It's especially reminiscent of mixing aloe gel and a moisturizing cream!! If I had to compare it, it's similar to Tory or a moisturizing cream. The absorption is a bit slow, so I don't use it much in the mornings. The texture itself isn't thick, so it doesn't apply heavily and spreads smoothly!! It feels like applying a lotion. The moisture level is heavy enough for oily skin, and I think it would be good for dry skin!! It seems like a great moisturizing and skin barrier care product for the winter. After using this, my skin condition the next day is legendary - I feel like I've received professional care. I'm really happy about the effective skin barrier improvement. If you want to care for your skin barrier, I'd recommend this. ❤️ The texture is light, but the oiliness and moisture don't blend together too well, so it applies a bit heavily. It seems perfect as a winter cream!!

The oil content is too high.. As someone with oily skin, I don't recommend it. The absorbency is a bit lacking.. It takes a long time to absorb, unfortunately. Overall, it feels a bit heavy 😔 It's even a little heavy to use as a winter cream.
