This is the third skin care product I have use from Natural Being. I was able to try their toner a few
days ago and also wrote a review on it. I was interested in trying this day cream because it claims to be especially formulated for oily to normal skin.

CLAIMS:

• Especially Formuated For OILY to NORMAL Skin
• Although it is a night cream, it can be apply morning and evening.
• It contains Manuka oil which can protect the skin due to irs anti-bacterial properties
• It also contains Active Manuka Honey which helps to stimulate cell renewal and it hydrates your skin.
• It contains no parabens, chemicals, preservatives, artificial fragrances and colors.

PACKAGING:🌟🌟🌟☆☆

The night cream comes in a squeezable tube. I am not a big fan of this type of packaging because as you continue to use it, it becomes harder to get the product out and it can be wasteful. However, this type of packaging is great for traveling. Also, while I am not super impressed with the packaging, it does a nice job at keeping the product fresh.

◘Same packaging as the night cream.

FIRST IMPRESSION: 🌟🌟🌟🌟☆

It has a light to medium consistency. It has a light scent and it is creamy. It is easy to distribute and apply. It does not irritate or cause redness. While you apply it it has a almost glossy/wet finish and the skin feels soft but as it dries the skin looks matte and it feels smooth. There is no visible residue.

◘Same texture and experience as the night cream minus the color.

PERFORMANCE:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

For my night cream, I am looking for a hydrating, revitalizing and anti-aging formula. But for the day, I look for a light moisturizer with a smooth and not greasy finish. My biggest problem with most natural creams is that they tend to have a gloosy finish which re-emphazises my oily skin.

Since day one, I was blown away about the matte finish of this cream. Usually, my skin looks plump and hydrated after I put on my daily moisturizer but after an hour or so, my skin is super oily. I have to blot multiple times a day. I rarely wear make up so I rely on blotting papers to remove excess oil. However, since I started using this cream, I can go on for a longer time without blotting which is great. I would recommend oily skin people to try this day cream.

I am also very impress with the quality and its natural ingredients. It feels really nice when you put it on and the scent is not overbearing which is great. It has no parabens or dangerous chemicals. It is cruelty-free. It does not irritate my skin and it does not cause breakouts. It dries very fast and it does not have a sticky or greasy finish.

Depending on the serum I use before I apply this cream, the application can be even or very patchy. It looks like brush strokes.  At first, I thought that I was applying to much but the results were the same with less product. This is not a big deal since it will dry either way. Although I have that if I use less and try to do an even layer, when it dries my skin looks more smooth and my imperfections are not emphasize.

I enjoy the mattifying quality of this cream and the smooth finish. however, I wish it would keep some of the softness. My skin does feel a bit tight.
