Idebenone Blackberry Intense Hydration Cream - Advanced Skin Barrier Strengthening Face Moisturizer with Niacinamide, Ceramide, and Hyaluronic Acid for Deep Moisture and Antioxidant, 3.52 oz.

Welp. I'm a believer.MY SKIN TYPE:-Extremely tight and dry across my t-zone (this area also gets super oily)-Dry flaking at limp corners of my mouth + chin-Nose is so dry that it's shiny like glass (also can get super oily)-Previously did chemical peel, so skin barrier was shot. Even my tears left red stripes down my cheeks like a candy caneWHAT USED TO WORK FOR ME:-Plain aloe vera gel-Kikumasamune emulsion*I don't use them anymore because my skin has changed over the years and they leave my skin feeling tight and sticky.MY PREFERENCE:-Korean skincareMost people's holy grail moisturizers left my skin feeling sticky and tight, or gave me breakouts. No bueno. I wanted something that would feel invisible on my face, but soak in and cure me of the awful "dry as paper" sensation, WITHOUT making my skin look wet and sticky.So I tried this Blackberry cream.And I'm really glad I did!TEXTURE:Dense; it's not 'thick' as in toothpaste. It's 'thick' like the way chapstick is thick. It squeezes out of a tiny hole and holds its shape firmly. I thought this would mean it has a waxy feel and be difficult to spread. But actually, just a teeny little amount was able to be spread across half my face. A little goes a long way. Very smooth. 'Berry' smooth, you could say.FEEL:It left even the most paper-dry patches of my face feeling soft like velvet. There is a subtle tack, but it's a nice grippy tack that leaves you feeling plumped and firm. Not "sticky" like "ew there's a layer of it still sitting on top." You go through your day forgetting you are even wearing anything... until you touch your face twelve hours later and realize it feels just the same as it did in the morning. It didn't feel gross to layer my sunscreen on top of this.LOOK:At first, this left my face looking slightly glazed. But then it faded, and my skin was left with a subtly "reflective" quality. I don't like to use the word "glow," because I never found skin to look like it's "glowing," even on models portraying that exact quality. Rather, this cream leaves my skin looking subtly "reflective" in a way that is slightly matte... only where the light directly hits it in certain spots. Very nice.Scent: No real scent. I know this is a plus for most people, but I almost wish there was a subtle berry scent to this, since I'm crazy. This isn't a negative.Flavor: No flavor.CONCLUSION:I really like this. I recommend this for people. It has the right ingredients (Niacinamide, Ceramides), it doesn't leave you feeling and looking slimy, you don't have to reapply often (it keeps overnight for me), and it doesn't break me out. My t-zone is crying in relief.There aren't any cons I can think of at present.Anyway, that's about it. Hope this helps.

This cream feels like something you might pay $80+ for at Sephora. The texture is unique- a thicker gel-like cream that is moisturizing even after it dries down completely.For reference, I have acne-prone, combination, sensitive skin and I live in a dry climate. This moisturizer wears well under sunscreen and is also great as a nighttime moisturizer. It spreads easily over the skin and is a joy to apply.I feel like I’m getting a “luxury experience” using this, only it’s much lower in price. This is a great value!

This isn't quite as heavy and moisturizing as I was expecting, but it works for me. I have normal/combo skin. It might not be the best for very dry skin types. I like the texture. It is creamy without feeling suffocating, and it sinks in quickly.

I absolutely love this cream. It’s medium weight but very buttery. I use it in the first step in my retinal sandwich.

Feels great. Soaks in. leaves skin soft but not greasy.

Feels so good on my skin. Can’t wait to see results after using a while. Thank you. Price was good.

This product is a rich cream however, it is sticky which I don't like. My skin is dry but I still don't enjoy it as it feels sticky to me. Although, you don't need alot of this product only a little bit is enough to hydrate your skin. The texture is thick.If it is not sticky then I would have enjoyed it.

A hidden gem of moisturizers! Absolutely stunning results! I have a combination of oily and dry skin and this works wonders for me! Highly recommend!
