Review on Alaffia Everyday Moisturizing Youthful Wrinkles by Trina Taylor

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Much more watery than the previous formula - blocks pores

EDIT: Used this lotion for a week. The wateriness has actually grown on me. I compared it to the old formula I used and the ingredients are in a different order and a little different. I have very clear skin, with occasional breakouts every few months. I had two of them in one day of use. I've been using it all week and now I have about 7 very red large spots. I will note that this formula doesn't say "non-comedogenic," meaning it may clog pores. And it really is. Unfortunately this has to be sent in the bin. I swore by this stuff until this bottle. They must have changed the formula. Previous bottles I bought directly from Whole Foods (for some reason my store doesn't have this particular cream at the moment, although there are other Alaffia products) were much creamier. The previous bottles were definitely lotions, not creams, very light and comfortable. I used some of this formula tonight and it was very watery. So watery that a little pump poured it through my fingers and out of my hand. It's over 90 degrees here in LA and the box has been on the porch all day, so maybe it just needs a little chilling because of the coconut oil. What is its consistency, I will look in the morning after staying in a cool apartment. If it doesn't change, I'll send it back. On the positive side, I didn't notice any chemical smell, or any smell at all.
