Overpriced, Fake - Creams and Moisturizers

This item is clearly fake. There is no product number or expiration date. The consistency, smell and formula are different from other products I have had. You can buy the real product from Ulta or Sephora for around $7.90.

Cons
  • Something else

Not as moisturizing as I was hoping

That's fine but I'm looking for something innovative for my thirsty and toasted 4 a/b coils. Your mileage can be very good. I've added it to some of my daily oil blends and used it alone and didn't notice a difference.

Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Good Face - Face

I've never tried Regular before so I was surprised lol. I have very sensitive skin and rarely get breakouts and my skin gets pretty dry after showering (probably my fault for using hot water). I was oddly expecting this to magically help my dry skin, not sure why. To a certain extent this is true, but not quite, the skin is left moisturized and soft. I am very happy that it has no smell and I noticed that when I use it on my hair it is very healthy.

Cons
  • Long wait

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I bought Squalene from Deciem in New York and Ulta and never had a timing problem this time so I bought from Revain. When I first opened the product and applied it to my skin I honestly thought it was just water in a bottle. Didn't moisten at all. It was very runny and runny, like someone took 1/4 real squalene and mixed it with water. It had no odor (like water) that has the basic odor of squalene. For comparison, I add the products by hand. The drop of liquid on the left is the original…

Cons
  • Not bad but...

Very thick and oily

This is a very thick oil that is applied to the face. I use it to sleep. It's moisturizing but I'm not sure I would buy it again. I'll finish the product I bought, but I feel like I can find a lotion that moisturizes just as well and isn't as thick and greasy.

Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Broken pump, wasted product, not moisturizing enough for me

Unlike many sunscreens, there was no white residue and my sensitive skin (very fair, red) tolerated the lotion. I never felt like my skin was hydrated and when half the product was left the pump stopped working completely. I tried adding some vitamin E oil thinking it would be more hydrating and allow the pump to work without getting clogged with such a thick product. If it was in a cream form I'd give it a try but the lack of a working pump, wasted product and feeling like my skin needed more…

Pros
  • <p></p>

  • Mostly good, but...

If I say it's cool, everyone will want to buy it.

Oh my god, this thing is liquid gold. I've had issues with eczema or oral/facial dermatitis and this stuff works amazing! It doesn't have any crazy stuff either. Win.

Pros
  • Hemi-Squalane is a non-polar hydrocarbon derived from the fermentation of sugar-based feedstocks. Squalane and Hemi-Squalane are excellent non-comedogenic emollients that can help reduce the ongoing moisture loss that reduces skin's elasticity and resilience. However, due to its low molecular weight, Hemi-Squalane spreads better and leaves a light and dry aftertaste, making it great for reducing frizz.
Cons
  • It's all right
