Love the Champagne Sweet Grape Scent; Suitable for All Skintypes
The Youth Lab Oxygen Moisture Cream comes in a simple, plastic 1.69oz safety-sealed, opaque tube. Inside, you get a lovely, medium-weight white cream. The packaging states it is for “normal skin.” What is that? Who has normal skin? A legit question. I don’t know anyone who would claim to have normal skin. It is always dry, oily, or some frustrating combination of the two sprinkled with issues of rosacea or acne. Regardless, I think this Youth Lab Cream is suitable for all skin types. And, I’m surprised to admit this, I love the light, sweet, champagne grape scent. Normally, I don’t like it when skincare makers add fragrance to their product, as it can increase the likelihood of sensitivity to it or be a nuisance to those who are scent sensitive. In this case, the fragrance is pleasant and does not linger. While ~$30 (when I go it) might seem a hint on the high side for a 1.69oz tube of product, you only require a pea sized amount for your entire face and neck. If you have more dry skin, a hint more. It is still manages to be very hydrating, even in winter when skin is more parched and the ambient air is so dry. And yet does not render me into a grease slick. For reference, I have mature (over 40), sensitive, combination (T-zone), acne-prone, congestion-prone, reactive, sensitive, fair skin. If I don’t like something, my skin will let me know almost immediately with blistering, breakouts, rashes, or discoloration. Thankfully, I did not experience any of that with this cream. It can be used AM and PM, and seems to lend itself well to being used with most everything in my skincare routine, including my actives (Differin, salicylic acid gels and washes, vitamin C and other antioxidant rich serums, etc..). Though this cream is loaded with its own host of skin friendly ingredients too. I included an image of the ingredient list because mine was covered by a barcode sticker and I was unable to view it. This list is from the Youth Lab website. Highlights include probiotics, several skin suitable oils (yeah, contrary to what we’ve been told over the years with poor marketing, we can use oil on skin. It just depends on what oils you use), and antioxidants/vitamins v5 (also known as panthenol), E, and A. Overall, pleasant to use, does what it says (in terms of moisturizing), doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts, and seems suitable for all skin types, not just normal.
