One of my pet peeves is dry skin, especially dry skin on the face. You'd think that with all the moisturizers on the market, that such a thing would be a thing of the past. Sadly, it's not. Well for me it isn't. Let me not moisturize my face and I'll be dry, and peeling by brunch. Let me use the wrong moisturizer and I'll be dry and peeling by lunch. To me it's like fighting an unending battle. I keep the dryness at bay by moisturizing mid day. Oh, and did I mention that my skin is more like a combination? Well it is. My forehead and nose will shine brighter than a star! So I'm moisturizing, and blotting all day. And just imagine the hassle if I'm wearing make-up... don't worry I'll wait... are you imagining? So yea... You get the picture. Too much work, for me personally. So of course I'm always on the lookout for a new moisturizer.
So you know I was happy when I got the opportunity to try Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer! Retinol is officially my new thing. I'm totally into it, and the benefits are great. Just so you know, retinol is a form of vitamin A, and it can be found in various topical skin care products. Retinol of course treats wrinkles, clears acne, lightens discolorations, evens skin tone, and shrinks pores. Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer has 2.5% retinol in it. Which is the max. It also contains wildcrafted green tea, organic jojoba oil, vitamin E, vitamin B5 and shea butter. So it's definitely packed with some good stuff! The bottle is a nice 3.4oz size, and one squirt is enough to generously moisturize my face, and neck. So this bottle will last a long while, and you're definitely getting your money's worth!
Now what do I think about it. First when I looked at the package, I didn't expect much. It's not fancy or anything. Totally not what I expected. But, I knew I would like it as soon I pressed the nozzle and the creamy lotion came out. I love creamy lotion because of my dry face. So I was excited over that. There's no real smell, I love that. I hate facial moisturizers that smell like perfume. I just don't get the point. Anyway I applied it after washing, skipping the toning and serum applications because I wanted to see what this would do on it's own. I wasn't disappointed. This creamy lotion spreads nicely and feels luxurious. It took a moment to rub in, but it absorbed extremely well. My skin didn't feel like it was still dry, and my skin felt soft and smooth. It did leave a shine, but I wasn't too worried about that since my first time using it was at night. I woke up to soft, smooth, not shiny, bright looking skin. My dry areas were still moisturized! I couldn't help smiling at myself in the mirror. Yes girl, you literally woke up like this! Lol I was totally loving myself.
Fast forward to now, and I still dig this moisturizer. My skin tone is evening nicely. My skin is vibrant, and glowing. For as thick, and creamy as this lotion is my skin is clear, and I've only had the occasional odd mini pimple. Nothing serious. My hyperpigment marks, old acne scars are fading, and my skin is soft and smooth. During the day I apply it, let it soak in, then blot to avoid the shine. I apply my primer, and make-up and I'm good to go. My face stays moisturized ALL day. No drying up and peeling mid day anymore. My T zone doesn't get greasy from it, this one is so worth it!
Give it a try you might like Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer! Let me know if you do try it, and your thoughts!
