Review on 🌟 Hydration Reimagined: Unveiling e.l.f. Holy Hydration Face Cream, 1.8 Oz by Stephanie Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

for sensitive skin - try Pixie Superhydrate instead

I really liked the scent and texture of it , and I want it to work for me. My skin marks are blind spots, rosacea, enlarged pores. Never blackheads. I started using this, I got blackheads. and visibly clogged pores (e.g. blackheads that have not been lifted) that have become blackheads. *Possibly* due to various ingredients commonly considered comedogenic: stearyl heptanoate and isopropyl isostearate, then, to a lesser extent, stearic acid, glyceryl stearate and possibly cetearyl alcohol. Comedogenic ingredients can be weird, not always to blame, and completely harmless for some people. If you're sensitive to these types of ingredients, I suggest using elf's Super Hydrating Moisturizer as an alternative, while it doesn't have all the same benefits as the holy moisturizer, it does have some goodies that this one doesn't skimp on when it comes to stuff. (Also it stings more than other moisturizers, if used during retention with a damaged moisture barrier most moisturizers will sting so this is to be expected but it's really unbearable, had to be washed off. Perhaps the scent + tends towards sensitive skin Rosacea. Usually the smell doesn't irritate me too much, so it could be something else.)

Pros
  • Cruelty-free, vegan and 100% free of phthalates, parabens, nonylphenol, ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban and hydroquinone
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
