its a richer moisturizer, it has coconut oil which im not sure how i feel about ... its not for acne prone skin though.

I decided to try this product to help with dryness caused by Tretinoin and I'm really glad I did. Not only does it sink in quickly, but my face still feels moisturized in the morning. It honestly has made a huge difference.

I'm on a round of Accutane during the harsh, windy Chicago winter and my face had been struggling. My skin reacted badly to the typical drugstore moisturizers suggested for Accutane treatment and my beloved First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration wasn't cutting it as a nighttime moisturizer. And then I bought this. My dull, compromised skin looks so much better; I believe it's due to the fact there are three gorgeous ceramides in it along with the shea butter and a host of wonderful oils. It really is the only thing which has helped my face recover. The only thing I don't care for is the texture. It's very balmy and thick and I have to warm it up in my hands before applying or it doesn't apply evenly.

I have dry skin and use prescription trenitoin treatments that dry out my skin even more. I had been using the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer but it wasn't rich enough for my skin in winter. This moisturizer is very thick and is more of a balm than cream but it checks all my boxes for skincare: fragrance free, affordable, and it works. Since the cream is so thick and remains a little tacky on the skin, I use it only at night. Sometimes I add a few drops of beauty oil on top but honestly I don't think I need to do that. It's such a relief to wake up with dewey, plump skin even though I'm using heavy duty retinoids. Between this moisturizer at night and Elta MD AM during the day, my skin no longer gets flaky and red.

I have sensitive skin, Rosacea (mostly in cold) and use Tretinoin every other night so I need a moisturizer that can heal my skin on the nights off retinoid. Bought my first PC product in February after using another famous brand for 10yrs, and was impressed by the efficacy and quality, but the Skin Recovery moisturizer left me waking up with a red nose and cheeks so I bought masks to add moisture and those didn't help much. One day I saw this cream, read reviews on PC site and bought one- incredible! My skin is healed! No red nose or cheeks, day or night, no itchiness, no irritation, no pimples- just nice, soft skin. I use it nightly even on top of Tretinoin to prevent irritation. One and only issue, which I had read on the PC site, is the cream is not easy to apply- it doesn't glide smoothly as you think a cream would, it takes a bit of effort to apply it (almost the texture of PC Hydrating Mask) and you have to get used to it. But it is well worth a try.
