Three nights a week for three months on dry skin: tingles briefly, cheeks smoother, sun spots a shade lighter, no smell. Wear SPF with it.

My skin is sensitive and flushes easily. the texture is nice, thick but sort of whipped so it rubs in without a fight. but every time i put it on around my nose and cheeks it stung for a few minutes and left me redder than before. tried it 4 nights in a row, same each time. turns out there's eucalyptus oil near the end of the ingredient list, which i missed before buying. if essential oils set you off, check that first. my hands and elbows love it so the tub isn't wasted at least.
Fragrance free and it actually calms my cheeks down after retinol nights. Feels rich but sinks in, no shine by morning. Only 50 ml so it goes fast.
Wanted to love this one. It's thin like milk, zero white cast, and foundation sits on it fine. But my eyes. About twenty minutes after I put it on they start watering and it comes and goes for half the day, even though I stay well clear of the lids. By lunch my forehead and nose are shiny and I'm combination, not super oily. Turns out it's all chemical filters (avobenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene), which I didn't look at before ordering. Not cheap for a 2 oz bottle either. Giving the rest to my sister

most new reviewsgot me through my first month on tret, I only put it on the flaky patches at night bc it leaves a whitish film if I'm lazy about rubbing it in.
Face felt tight after every wash and I got a few new bumps on my chin by week two. Stopped using it. Maybe fine for dry skin but my oily skin hated it
Paid forty something for the small jar because the whole internet said it was perfect for oily skin. Feels nice going on, cool and bouncy, but by afternoon I was shiny and I got a cluster of little bumps along my jaw in week two. Stopped for ten days, they calmed down. Not worth it for me.
Can't beat the value, one jar last me for many months, I use it every night after I apply retinol. I like it, it keep my face nice and moist. It's not the lightest or the heaviest, somewhere in between, the scent is light.
OK so i wanted the glow everyone talks about and my face just got angry. Used it every other night like the bottle says and by week two my cheeks were red and it STUNG every single time, then i got little bumps along my jaw that i never get. Stopped it and it took like 10 days to calm down. Maybe fine for tougher skin, mine hated it. the price was nice at least.
Ive been using this daily for about 3 months now as my everyday spf. Honestly the texture is what sold me, it sinks in fast and theres no white cast on me at all, which is rare for a 50. My combo skin doesnt get greasy by lunch like with my old one. Only small gripe is it pilled a little when i layered powder over it too soon. Cheap enough that i already bought a second tube.
Fragrance-free and properly thick. That's pretty much my wish list for a basic cream.
Broke me out within a week, my chin is not happy. Way too heavy for oily skin.
Really wanted to like this. No perfume, simple face wash, exactly my thing. But my cheeks feel tight afterwards and I'm reaching for moisturiser straight away. I don't need that squeaky clean feeling. Just too drying for my skin unfortunately.
Says it pills instantly on their skin.
“LRP double repair is also a no go. It pills instantly on my skin.”
Redness from overuse calmed and came back after two weeks.
“I’m about 2 weeks out from overuse and redness. It calmed but then came back.”
No breakouts or reactions on very sensitive skin, but it does little, leaves skin dull and can't remove sunscreen.
“Aveeno calm and restore oat cleanser. My skin doesn’t break out at all with this. No reactions! But my skin is dull because it doesn’t do much and definitely can’t take off sunscreen.”
Good things check out: nothing spectacular but a great moisturizer, though too pricey for full size.
“I’ve heard a lot of good things about this and they check out, nothing spectacular but it’s a great moisturizer.”
Great for rosacea on the cheeks; the redness is toned down for light makeup.
“The Anua azelaic acid is great. I have rosacea on my cheeks and this helps.”
Can sting their irritated winter skin.
“I get skin so irritated in the winter it can sting from Cicalfate cream but the Farmacy never does me wrong.”
Super gentle and never stings even when their skin is angry.
“the LRP hydrating one (the white bottle) is way better, super gentle, never stings even when my skin is angry.”
Used the toner on a stubborn scalp dermatitis several times a week and had a clear scalp after two weeks.
“I left it on and did not rinse and after two weeks the symptoms went away and I had a clear scalp.”
Is using it right now and loving it, and sees no reason yet to try the Cetaphil alternative.
“The CeraVe cream to foam is what I’m using right now and am loving it!”
Went through a whole jar of the Anua azelaic acid without changing their scars.
“I've been looking up stuff about them for so long and went through a whole jar of anua azelaic acid but it didn't change anything and I dont usually see people with their scars like mine so idk”
One of the best moisturizers they've used on dry skin during tretinoin.
“In my experience, the best ones have been La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+, Avène Cicalfate+, Skinbetter Science Trio, and SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore.”
