I watched the YouTube on how to apply (I was using too sparingly) and it just...works! Evens out the uneven skin tone; makes me look glowing but not oily ( I do have combo skin). I will re-order. I have used Oil of Olay BB/CC (the spf made it too white). I use this for the office; if I'm in the sun on the weekend, I have my sunscreen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168718696522907657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-68989678631701996492016-03-22T13:50:16.352-07:002016-03-22T13:50:16.352-07:00I love their branding and packaging and love the c...I love their branding and packaging and love the concept of a "no makeup look". Can you relay any experiences with the tint or their new makeup line? Also, where and how does sun protection fit into their Phase 1 regimen? After the face wash and before the moisturizer I presume? I emailed their customer service address with these inquiries and received a disappointing (canned) response.

I find it sinks into my lips so much that there's nothing left when I wake up.<br /><br />But I LOVE the moisturizer! I am on my second tube now. I have dry skin and strictly use this as a daytime moisturizer (need something heavier at night). I realize that there are no special magical ingredients in it but, like you, I find it just WORKS for me. <br /><br />BTW, I also like the skin tint a lot. It's very, very lightweight and thin, but gives you a glowy complexion. I don't find that it gives much coverage at all but it's great for those days you don't feel like going all out. Also, I often use it and then concealer for the spots that need a bit more, a bit of Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder on top, and it looks great!denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293020364634078371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-402261306147305612016-01-13T01:23:04.387-08:002016-01-13T01:23:04.387-08:00Aquaphor Lip Repair is HG for me.

I agree with much of what you said but for me personally, these products were actually worth the hype. As a result of blogging, I've tested and reviewed many, many moisturizers (natural brands, mass/drugstore, indie, Asian, etc) over the years and, for whatever reason, this one works so beautifully for my particular skin that I wanted to shout it from the rooftops! Lol. As for Asian skincare, I'm a huge fan (I have some new reviews coming up, actually, if you like Asian skincare reviews!). :) G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-87291169754785352532016-01-11T20:58:32.214-08:002016-01-11T20:58:32.214-08:00I was wondering about the coconut version!

The ingredients list is a far cry from HG status to me; I stalk my local TJMaxx and Marshalls often and they have a decent collection of all natural facial products with better ingredients and lower price point than the products listed here. That's not to say this product doesnt work - just that it's not worth the hype. If it's skincare you're looking for, many Asian companies are the bomb.com in that dept.

Al...Thanks so much for sharing your opinions here!<br /><br />All I can tell you (and what I always strive to tell you in my reviews), is how these products work for me. And there's something about this particular combination of ingredients in this moisturizer that works very well for my skin. I have used Olay Complete (used to use it for years) and it always turned my skin super greasy by mid-day (I just "dealt" with it). So when I find something that makes my makeup look great, doesn't turn my skin into an oil slick, doesn't break me out, and also delivers the perfect amount of hydration to my oily skin, that's a winning combo in my book.<br /><br />But like you said, there are certainly a ton of other options out there, and I'm glad you have found some winners at lower price-points! :)G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.com
