Dermelect Flawless Bakuchiol Treatment- Sensitive Skin Moisturizer, Phyto Retinol, Natural Retinol Alternative, Gentle, Vegan, Gluten Free, For Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Dryness, Sun Damaged Skin 1 oz

The media could not be loaded. I like the texture of this product quite a bit! I have dry skin and I live in the desert, so something that’s hydrating without being too thick is something I look for in my skincare products. It comes with a nifty applicator, but honestly, I ditched it after the first application. Not too strong a smell, which I’m a fan of since I’m sensitive to smells. I like that it’s a safe alternative to retinol as I’ve been pregnant and/or breastfeeding going on four years now.

Having combination skin, I tend to often prefer a facial moisturizer that provides you with plenty of moisturization, but is thin enough to absorb well without too much dewiness or oiliness left behind. This is exactly what this facial cream does. You can feel both the oil and the water as soon as you apply this to your face. It glides across the skin like a good, clean oil, yet you can feel the thinness of the water as it soaks into the skin. It absorbs well and sets somewhat quickly.The first ingredient on the product list is water. Yet there are still enough emollients in this cream to soften the skin and make it more supple and elastic. Feels very soothing as it's being applied. Once it sets, it does not leave the skin feeling oily or greasy, though it does feel moisturized. Helps to diminish fine lines with repeated use. Will make the skin look brighter and healthy.Seems to be very clean and has not caused me any sort of irritations or other problems. Easy enough to also use along the neck without it greasing up your jewelry, clothing, or other items.Good for all skin types and ideal for those of us with combination skin. Also good for men, as well as women.

This Bakuchiol treatment is said to work similarly to Retinol, and you should experience no pain or sunburn peeling, as Retinoid products can. I like it a lot. There is a lovely applicator included, and gifting this is a sure hit. You might think this is too pricey for what you get. I do love less expensive skincare products as far as moisturizing is concerned; however, these ingredients should help your skin tremendously, so try this for a while so you can see the benefits of this lovely cream.I have been stretching creams using them with oils and sometimes SPF products. My current experiment is about this strategy, and I can honestly say it is working for me.Retinol has been around for a long time. It repairs and helps the skin's elasticity, wrinkles, and fine lines. I am constantly being asked at the dermatologist's office if I want Retinoid products that cost quite a bit for a more substantial variation.This cream is pricey so that I will elaborate on Bakuchiol: "Bakuchiol is an antioxidant found in the seeds of the plant Psoralea corylifolia." A board-certified dermatologist, Dendy Engelman, says, "It has a long history in medicine for its healing properties, including soothing rashes, calming redness, and healing cuts."It is something better skin and pro-better skin tone, anti-wrinkle, to supplement your routine for beautiful skin. There is a ton more on this subject, which is something to take seriously.Enjoy!

The jelly-like texture of this face cream is somewhat reminiscent of Botanic Heal (BOH) Derma Water Ceramide Gel Cream, another product I've tried in recent years, but Dermelect lacks the absolutely phenomenal scent of BOH. And because both products have provided similar lackluster results for me, and Dermelect currently costs roughly 18x that of BOH per ounce, it would be a no-brainer to get BOH instead. I've been using Neutrogena Triple Protect Face Lotion for Men a long time, and I've come to realize that while Neutrogena really is the holy grail of men's post-shave lotions, other face lotions not necessarily marketed for this purpose also work well. Sometimes considerably much better than post-shave lotions. For example, I offered a disclaimer in a review for OxygenCeuticals Post-Procedure Skin Care kit that "I haven't been using it as part of a post-procedural routine, but for post-shave facial care, which can sometimes feel like a dermatological procedure has taken place, albeit as an endless daily occurrence." I use face lotions either after I shave with a blade, or after using my stubble guard, and I was fairly disappointed with this Dermelect product. What admittedly caught my attention when first seeing this product is the logo, which breaks down "Dermelect" as follows: "DER-ME-LECT". I'm German, and immediately noticed the leading "DER", which means "THE" in the German language, but the rest of the breakdown doesn't make any sense from this perspective. It would make much more sense if "Dermelect" was broken down like "DERM-ELECT", because "derm" is another word for "dermis", which means skin, and doing so would suggest that one's personified skin would choose this product if given the choice. Well, someone else's skin, not mine. Another reviewer here complained about the lack of a full ingredients list in the product description, but this is easily found on the side of the box. Some of you might be interested in the photo that I took of the box before throwing it out along with the jar of product.
