A little goes a long way with this moisturizer. I'm 48 with good skin and no injections and this glides on. I notice the hydration immediately. If you use too much, it could get a bit greasy but a dime size is all you need!! I love the Kora line and this is a stand out for me. I would not recommend for dry skin but I would recommend for combo, dry and/or mature skin.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’m genuinely impressed with KORA Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturized. It’s a powerful formula, so my sensitive skin showed a bit of redness at first, but easing in slowly really helped. Bakuchiol takes time, but my pores look smoother and fine lines softer. I only need a pea sized amount. The creamy jelly texture melts in instantly, leaving my skin hydrated, soft, and glowy. I simply scoop what I need from the jar. The lavender candy toned jar with a gold lid looks so chic on my shelf, and I love that refills are available this refill approach feels thoughtful and eco friendly. Very effective overall. Don’t forget SPF if you use it during the day!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This instantly hydrated my skin and made my skin look plumper and firmer! It did not break my skin out and I loved how smooth the texture was! Amazing clean ingredients! Highly recommend!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really like this moisturizer. I have an allergy to retinol, so I was excited to try an alternative treatment. This product smells good, goes on smoothly and feels good on. It absorbs quickly and works well.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I received this moisturizer free in exchange for my honest opinion. I like the packaging and that its refillable, but thats about where it stops. It has an overwhelming floral scent that I cant get past. The concept is good, but overall product isnt, especially with a $72 price tag.
absolutely hate that it has such a strong fragrance but it definitely reduced the appearance of my acne scars so i guess you win some and you lose some. if you're thinking of copping one i suggest waiting for a sale.... i really wish they would come out with an unscented version of this
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a great everyday option if you’re looking to avoid traditional retinol. It’s lightweight but hydrating, plus it doesn’t irritate my skin. It feels like a long term product as it doesn’t have as immediate effects of traditional retinol. Overall hydrating, smooth, and gentle.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It is a very good cream; it is thick and leaves my face feeling very hydrated. It has a pleasant scent. It gave me good results regarding expression lines also very good ingredients.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This moisturizing cream is great. I currently have a dry patch on my face from a pimple patch that has left a little bit of a chemical burn. This works great on healing my skin keeping it moisturized and hydrated. It's a nice cream. Not very tacky or sticky goes into the skin and feels Great.
The Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer from Kora Organics is a gentle and effective method to help strengthen and plump skin while combating the signs of aging, without causing irritation. 99.7% of the ingredients are natural, while 70% are from organic farming. This product has a thicker texture, and feels like an occlusive layer once applied to the skin, making it an excellent choice for an overnight winter skincare regimen. Due to its thicker texture, it feels a bit much for me for daytime use, or use outdoors in warm weather. I also found that it caused pilling when used with some other products. It contains a variety of essential oils, so the scent is more heavy and long-lasting than some products, so just be aware of that if you are sensitive to either essential oils or strong scents. Overall I found this to be extremely beneficial and hydrating for my dry winter skin, and found that it made my skin feel and look healthier.
