New Barrier Cream with nice texture! 8/10

I was a bit apprehensive about this product because of all the reviews about pilling but I loved the ingredient list and decided to try it out anyways. I am pleasantly surprised there was NO PILLING... like what? Yes the cream is more thick but I think that's to be expected for barrier creams like Aestura. I'm combo skin and I'm pleasantly surprised that my skin can tolerate this level of cream without breaking out. I like that there's less of that filmy feeling on the skin I might find from squalene moisturizers and yet it still feels like there's something substantial hydrating and soothing my irritated skin barrier unlike lightweight gels. It's a bit hard to describe... I wouldn't recommend this for someone oily though because I've noticed my T-zone gets oily pretty quick soon after. If you're combo like me I do like using it on my dryer cheeks and temple. For me, I'm excited to use this after tretinoin, BP, and exfoliating acids 8/10 would recommend for Combo to dry skin types!

Horrible breakouts

Tried a sample pot of this and every single time I used it I ended up with massive breakouts a day or so later. I also noticed pilling and it really didn’t provide much moisture or redness relief.

High Expectations, Big Disappointment

Unfortunately, this moisturizer had the same problem as the serum. It didn’t absorb well and formed a layer on my skin that peeled off throughout the day. It made it impossible to layer other skincare or sunscreen over it, so I had to stop using it.

Everything she releases sits on the skin like an overnight mask and pills like crazy. I can only use it at night but it is not moisturizing and not soothing and does nothing to my redness. I'm sure the ingredients sound amazing on paper, but it does not work for me at all.

I really like this one. I don’t have severe redness but I’ve noticed it getting more prominent with age, and this one definitely helps. I don’t have super sensitive skin, and it’s caused no issues for me. I also haven’t had problems with pulling.

It burns my face when my skin is sensitive. Kinda defeated its purpose🥲

The texture is nice but for $82 I expect a flawless product, and this is not. It pills like crazy over the serum it was supposedly formulated to work with. It’s hard to know if it works when I can barely use it. I like Dr. Idriss, but this is a flop.

Great for my sensitive neck and chest!

Sounds crazy but I use this for my neck and chest as it is really sensitive and gets irritated with prescription strength Tretinoin. I switched to OTC Retinal with this cream at NOC from a sample that was sent to me and chefs kiss!

Disappointing

For the price, this is not worth it. It pills even when only using it with the serum. It doesn’t seem to do anything to reduce redness.

I will start by saying I love major fade, and have returned back to that. I think that there are people for whom this is a good fit, I think VERY dry and VERY red skin would benefit, and using it as a night cream not a day cream. I have combination skin that gets red sometimes that I wanted to calm down. I found this too heavy for daily use (good to use once per week after retinol when I normally use my cicoplast, but this is too expensive to just use for just that) and it made me break out. I did not notice any improvement in redness, and overall irritated my skin a bit with daily use + the serum.
