This claims to be a gel cream, but the texture, imo, is a cream. It has an orange color, and comes in a 4.2oz tub for $53.
I recorded this in a @Glossybox so Paige closer to $5 for it.
Key ingredients ~
* Algae extract ~ a powerful anti-oxidant as well as helping retain moisture
* hydrolyzed collagen to give skin a firmer appearance
* Tocotrienols - Vit E for well aging and anti-oxidant
* Throw in some glycerin, sodium Hyaluronite, and Squalane for hydration & Moisture
* Allantoin, and a few others
🔸 This is very moisturizing, has no noticeable scent, and a little goes a long way, so while a bit pricey this is a good size and should last several months.
I find out a bit heavier than I prefer, (and I think it’s the protective type layer it leaves) so I have been using it in my pm routine, which works nicely. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily so much as it’s just dense, which I found odd as it’s called a “gel” cream.
I think this world be a good moisturizer for dry to combo/dry skin. I am not sure about the brightening aspect but it moisturizes, gives skin a bit of a firmer appearance, and has some good wrinkle care and antioxidants
🔸 This didn’t cause any irritation at all on my skin, but you should always check ingredients for possible irritants you are sensitive to
🔸 DHC’s philosophy is to “embrace the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi that teaches there is beauty in imperfection. According to wabi-sabi, each of us is “perfectly imperfect.” We want to help you, and people everywhere, feel beautiful in your own skin.”
🔸 So overall, a good moisturizer, but not one I will be repurchasing as it’s just not perfect for my skin.
