If you are a fan of a moisturizer that is not greasy yet does the job well, you will surely love this one. I have not considered this moisturizer before because I have sensitive skin and I breakout from most facial lotions. The one I have used for a long time was Loreal's Pure Zone face lotion which is for oily skin, it reduces pores, and controls oil and breakouts and I loved it a lot only that it's been discontinued. I know many users have been upset about this move by Loreal too. They make great products and then discontinue them for good which is a total bummer. Before I got this product, I was using Olay's moisturizer for sensitive skin but it doesn't do wonders. As a facial lotion it's great as it keeps my skin hydrated but that's the only thing it does. I want a good moisturizer to keep my skin healthy and minimize my pores. Based on reviews, most users rated this product 5 stars and and said this is another amazing product from St Ives so I took another leap of faith and bought this one.
St Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles which is what everyone wants. It doesn't only hydrates the skin but also makes it softer and smoother. I have to say that I am glad I read the reviews and tried this because so far it has not disappointed me. I seriously noticed my skin looked better and my crows feet have been minimized after just 3 days of use. I couldn't believe it at first but what I see in the mirror tells it all. This is suitable for daily use in the morning and evening so there is no need to use 2 moisturizers. It doesn't however contain spf so you have to apply a good sun lotion if you are exposing your skin to direct sunlight.
I have nothing bad to say about this moisturizer. It smells really like a fresh and clean, it doesn't contain harmful chemicals, doesn't clog pores, dermatologist tested, only made with natural ingredients, and is not tested on animals. It's formulated without parabens and phthalates which is a great deal. For the price you get a lot of product and it will take me a long time to use this up. A little amount goes a long way because it blends well on the skin. It's non-greasy and works well as a makeup base. I used it today and my face wasn't oily even after 8 hours which is terrific. I guess it's too early to say that this is the best moisturizer I have tried but so far it does great on my skin. As long as it doesn't make me breakout there is no way I am using another moisturizer.
