Affy review for Hydrate Me. Micro Tension Cream

Overview: A pudding-like cream that deeply nourishes the layers of skin - providing a long-lasting hydration. It helps strengthen skin’s natural protective barrier/elasticity and boosts moisture levels. Key Ingredients: Glycerin, Arctic Berry Extract, Raspberry Fruit Extract, Ceramides, Blend of Botanical Oils, 3 layers of Hyaluronic Acid, and Polyglutamic Acid. Packaging & Texture: The blue-white packaging of this 65ml baby is pretty eye-pleasing. That “click” when you close the lid of this jar is super-satisfying. The beautiful bouncy texture which melts straightaway with the heat of palms is a lovely experience. I appreciate it comes with a little spatula for hygiene purposes. My thoughts: The gel-like texture is fun to work with but don’t get carried away as it’s super-hydrating! A little bit goes a long way. There’s definitely an added fragrance component on top of essential oils in the formulation. The scent is strong enough to sensitise your skin and it did (around my neck). Due to this, I could only use it on my face. However, I was surprised to experience no breakouts while using this moisturiser. Overall, if you’re someone with a dry to dehydrated skin and who likes thick/occlusive creams along with some “aromatherapy” in skincare, this will make a good choice for you. However, I don’t see myself reaching for this moisturiser for my sensitive/combo skin especially in daytime to avoid looking like a grease-ball.
