e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream, Moisturizer For Nourishing & Plumping Skin, Infused With Hyaluronic Acid, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 1.76 Oz

Thick and rich, not thin like a lotion
I have been looking for a lower-cost alternative to an active facial moisturizer for a long time. I wanted something that had hyaluronic acid (to help retain moisture in the skin), squalane (a derivative of something the skin makes naturally, plus it’s antioxidant, plus it has some antibiotic properties to help with zits), and niacinamides (anti-aging, skin smoothing, and also helps prevent moisture loss). Finding these in one product that wasn’t $30-40 was a TRIAL, let me tell you.(Side note: Someone else said “this product has hyaluronic acid and acid is bad for skin so do not buy this”. This person has not done research into what ingredients are beneficial in skin care, they’re just reacting to the word ‘acid’. You want hyaluronic acid in your moisturizer. Google it.)But, e.l.f. to the rescue. This product does come in a fragrance-free version if that’s your jam, but the scent of the product is light and not cloying (there’s no reason to have fragrance in any skin care product unless the base scent is nasty so I took off a star for that). While I rated the “lightweight” aspect of this very low, I want to explain it this way:This is a thick, silky, rich cream. It does not feel lightweight. EXCEPT that it disappears almost instantly. I have much thinner lotions that feel lightweight but linger on my skin for a few minutes. Holy Hydration does not make you feel like you have a thick layer of goop on you that you have to wash off. It also IMMEDIATELY makes my skin feel like supple velvet. I usually apply it at night, and even by morning my skin still feels super-soft.Frankly, I like the effects so much I’ve started to use it on my neck, upper chest, hands, and elbows. I’m going through it a little faster (a little goes a long way), but it’s worth it for the results. Five stars. Buy it.

Holy Hydration? More Like HOLY WOW.
I don’t know what kind of sorcery e.l.f. put in this little jar, but my face is so hydrated it’s basically drinking from the Fountain of Youth. One application and my skin went from “dry and stressed-out” to “radiant and thriving” like it just got back from a month-long spa retreat.The texture? Smooth like butter. The moisture? Lasts all day. The scent? Light and fresh—nothing that makes me feel like I accidentally face-planted into a perfume counter. And the best part? It plumps my skin so well, I almost forgot about the sleep I didn’t get last night.

Staple for my daily routine
This is my morning moisturizer that I put on under my makeup. It’s smooth and lightweight. I like that they don’t test their products on animals and the price is really good. It’s a food sized container & lasts a long time. I have it o Subscribe & Save so I never run out!

Be cautious with sensitive skin
I’ve always loved elf products and thought my sensitive skin wasn’t as problematic as it used to be – I use most drugstore or cheap brands and haven’t had an issue in years. I’m still slightly hopeful that this isn’t the effect of this cream, but it’s the only different thing I was using and caused my skin to get very red, break out in dry patches, and irritate my skin. It feels good going on, but then still feels dry after it soaks in. This should be on me to have read about it more beforehand, but really didn’t think such a popular cream would cause it! Just be careful if you’ve had history with sensitive skin. Will update this if I learn any differently about its effects!

Jag trodde att den skulle vara större, otroligt liten, men den ger bra resultat.Jag önskade bara att den fanns i större förpackning!

Hydrates my skin and also give that plump to the face…

Una crema come le altre avevo più aspettative
