Retinol Skincare LdeL Cosmetics Day Cream with SPF 20 2.25 oz

It is a good product

I usually don’t post reviews especially ones months after buying the product but I thought this product deserved one. I was looking for a face cream with spf that was hydrating and also had other benefits and I came across this product. I’m usually wary of products that I can’t find any YouTube reviews for but I took my chance and I’m glad I did. The first thing I noticed when I used this product was how glowy it made my skin look and how moisturizing it felt on my skin. It also lasts a while. I also love the consistency. I love that it’s not watery and is a little on the thicker side but not greasy. At first I was surprised by the small size of the container but there’s a lot of product so I can’t complain. I would for sure recommend this product. My only qualm is that it has a powdery smell and I think some ppl might find it irritating but if you don’t have any issue with a little fragrance in your skincare than try it out.

I have always had oily skin; visibly-shiny-less-than-1-hour-after washing-the-face oily. Using moisturizer was impossible. Even gel mattifying moisturizers for oily skin would make me breakout like crazy, and make my face look like someone rubbed bacon grease on it. So, when this was recommended to me by a friend, the sight of the word “cream” made me immediately say no-no. However, I’m finally using night retinol serum (I’m in my 40s and absolutely hate the feel of anything on my skin, but I finally caved because…age). The retinol started making some parts of my face feel tight/dry in the morning; added to that, because of retinol I needed to find some kind of sunscreen for the day that didn’t make my skin worse. Then I remembered my friend’s suggestion. I decided to try it - worst case scenario, it gives me zits and I stop it. Well, it is AMAZING! Even though it has a creamish texture, it’s very light and gets absorbed almost immediately! No shine at all, no breakouts at all, keeps my recent dry areas perfectly moisturized, the tightness is gone and my skin feels so soft…and added bonus, it continues my retinol treatment during the day too, with sunscreen to boot! No need for layers and layers of different products in the morning - just use this and you’re good to go! Remember to apply just a small amount (a little goes a long way, you really don’t need much!); it definitely has a light smell, but it’s really weak and I don’t mind if (the best way I can find to describe it is “faint Ponds”, which was my grandma’s smell when she was alive 😅) TL; DR: fellow oily skin women, you can use it without worrying! It’s great!

Good price nice texture

I like the consistency of this face cream. It absorbs quickly and doesn't cause my face to breakout. No strong fragrance either, which I appreciate. Not sure if this will be a bit too heavy on my skin to wear during summer. Works great during the SC winter months.
