Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading dozens of rave reviews in the beauty community about this being a dupe for LaMer I decided to try Skin Food with the intent on using it for my face. Overall I really like this product, but here are things I wished I knew before I bought it: - It’s an incredibly thick formula comparable to cream cheese. I wish I was kidding, at first I thought maybe the formula was cold or spoiled, but this is how it is. Warming it up in your hands before applying is a must! - It’s got a strong smell. I personally didn’t mind the smell, very herbal and natural from the oils used, like sweet almond oil, rosemary, and calendula. For folks who prefer lighter scents, this might not be for you. -The cream cheese formula makes my skin look really, really greasy. It doesn’t easily absorb into my skin like I had hoped, and I get shiny residue everywhere. No amount of warming it up, dabbing it on, or blotting it off seems to work. This will NOT look good under your makeup. Dabbing on cheekbones as a highlighter? Yes. Using it as a priming moisturizer before makeup? You’ll look like a melting snowman. The final verdict? Despite what I mentioned above, this has been a great night time moisturizer. It locks in whatever other serums you layer underneath and when I wake up in the morning my skin looks bouncy and glowing. It’s all natural, no mineral oil or preservatives, and it’s affordable. Will buy again!
