Green Beaver Sensitive Aloe Vera Face Skin Care, Natural Day Cream, Healing Moisturizer Lotion

I am 41 years old. I have super pale, sensitive, irritated, dry, dehydrated skin. However, I find that whenever I try to target any of my skin issues outside of the sensitivity [i.e. using moisturizers dedicated to dry skin], I have a problem. There are few products available for sensitive skin that are fragrance free so this product appealed to me. After reading up on reviews and the product website, I decided to give it a try. This is my first time trying anything by Green Beaver. I ordered through Amazon Prime and delivery was super fast - it came the following day.The cream comes in a tube as pictured. It's actually a really good size, especially for its price - more than twice the amount of many day creams, for less money. The tube is packaged in a cardboard box shaped to accommodate the tube. The first thing I noticed upon removing it from the box was a super strong smell of commercial laundry detergent. I panicked at first because I thought it was the cream giving off the smell - but it was the material the tube is made of. So, if you unpack this cream and notice that smell, don't be alarmed - the cream itself is actually almost scentless, which is nice as I cannot handle much scent at all.I found the texture to be weird. It's not thick but not thin, and is ever so slightly grainy. I don't think this is a dealbreaker in and of itself, but for those to whom texture is important, it could be. I like that it definitely feels like I'm using something more natural on my face than a lot of store-bought products. My main issue with this cream is that it just sits on my skin. To be fair, I tried this when I had a really wicked chemical burn on my face from a sunscreen I'd tried just prior. So, I was unable to really rub it into my skin, not that my skin can handle a lot of rubbing with anything other than my cleanser. However, the cream also left a slightly sticky layer of residue on my face. I prefer to feel like there is nothing on my skin whatsoever, as the presence of product adds to itchiness and irritation and just feels overwhelming to always have a noticeable sensation like that on my face. I ended up returning it, so I wasn't able to try it out as long as I would've liked; I probably would've been able to try it out longer had my skin not been damaged. I would definitely order other products from Green Beaver; I am curious to try their sunscreen as they are one of only a handful of cruelty-free low-cost physical sunscreen options I have been able to find.

Oh, I wanted to love it so much!!. But… when I first moisturized my face with it, my skin had a weird reaction (and i don’t have a sensitive skin at all!), my face got red in the forehead and my nose, not itchy, just red, like it was an allergy reaction to some ingredient. Tea tree maybe?.. The cream itself, when it’s absorbed, gives quite a drying feeling, like skin feels stretchy, it’s not a pleasant feeling at all. I have a combination skin and even for me it felt too dry. As for the ingredients quality, it’s one of the best in the market. Yuka 100% approved. So, if you can make it work for you, great, but personally, I won’t be repurchasing again.

Je l'ai adopté et l'utilise maintenant tous les jours... Le seul petit point négatif est qu'il n'y a aucun écran solaire comme d'autres crèmes de jours... pour une journée à la plage j'utilise un autre produit... mais pour une crème de jour naturel, non grasse et fabriqué au Canada, c'est LA crème de la crème!

feels a little like putting a dry vaseline on your face but I like that there is little or no scent.Just started using it so I'll wait and see results...

I have sensitive skin and this doesn’t clog pores and maintains good hydration through the winter! Have been using for years. Good local product and good for me and the environment.
