Dry, sensitive, acne prone skin you need this!
First off I read the reviews which convinced me to try this product. Secondly, I almost never pay this amount for a moisturizer. Not because the good stuff isn't worth it but mostly because I don't have extra money to spend on something that MAY work on my dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. I previously used raw shea butter as it was the only thing that got rid of my dry patches, actually penetrated my skin and didn't make my acne worse. It didn't make my condition better though. 2 weeks in (and I will update later) and I have to say overall my acne as decreased to the point my face is almost clear. I usually don't have acne all over but usually along my jaw line and more on the cheeks during TOTM. My complexion has certainly even out getting rid of the ruddiness and patchy dried out look. I am impressed with the ingredients as I know for my skin honey and aloe work wonders, shea butter has always been kind but combined together has been great. I can't use aloe alone its no where near moisturizing enough but it heals amazingly and I can't wear honey everywhere either. I was concerned about coconut oil cause I know it can be comedogenic and alone it always sat on my skin never sinking in. There have been no breakouts from this at all if that is a concern. Ok sorry for the tangent but I wanted to be thorough. First impression it had a slight burning sensation the first time I used it. I chalked it up to my skin is sensitive and was slightly inflamed at the time. Second application there was no burning. This stuff sank in very quickly to the point it felt like my skin was naturally soft and I didn't have moisturizer on. I ended up using a little more around my nose and other dry patches I had. It is still winter after all. They went away after that. After 2 weeks my skin is more balanced that I don't need more after my initial application. I'm not used to this quite yet as I got used to having a greasy feeling until everything sank in because my skin was so parched. This just feels like healthy moist skin. I don't need cover up now and refuse to put on foundation because I want my skin to breathe and it's been wonderful. I think this is definitely a purchase worth fitting into your budget. I have tried so many natural, organic very costly face moisturizers over the years and have spent so much time trying to create my own homemade stuff but I couldn't make something as wonderful as this. If this stuff continues to work and I don't have any reactions later on which I usually would have by now then my search for a perfect moisturizer is over. I would like to add I use this in conjunction with African Black Soap purchased on Amazon from seller smellgood and its a very thick paste not bar form. I need help with acne scarring and it has definitely helped clear up remaining acne and prevented breakouts. I also add a drop of Cosmedica Hyaluronic Acid (sold on Amazon also with great reviews) to the moisturizer for extra moisture and help with fine lines as I'm 30 and already have them. If you found this review helpful, albeit long winded please hit the button so as many people as possible can read it and make an informed decision. I can't say its a miracle cream like some but I can say it is pretty darn close and I wouldn't write a fake review if you paid me to. Have a great day!
