What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this moisturizer for its hydrating, silky texture and strong performance relative to its affordable price point. Most highlight its thicker consistency compared to other Bubble options and note it layers well without pilling. The consistent gripe is the fragrance component, particularly cinnamon extract, which some reviewers consider unnecessary and potentially irritating; others felt it's acceptable for the cost. A few note it may not suit acne-prone or very sensitive skin due to certain ingredients.

"I tried the Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer too. These are all fairly lightweight, like they're not super rich thick creams, but this one I would say is a little heavier than the others. It's got shea butter in it and no niacinamide in this one either."

"For moisturizers I really like Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer."

"Bubble is really affordable and fun and donates to Teen Mental Health. I love the application of the Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer because it gives you the perfect amount every time. The gel is almost more clear, it's very stringy and it has high water content."
Approved
"It's much thicker, feels more nourishing. I'd rather use this one in the winter time when I want a thicker moisturizer. It rubs in really well, doesn't pill, layers well with serums and subsequent sunscreens. Skin feels nice and silky smooth. I have to give this one an 8 out of 10. Bubble did a good job with this one. No niacinamide in this one, but that avocado oil I think is working really nice in this moisturizer."
Approved
"It contains alcohol, avocado oil, evening primrose oil, and vitamin E, so if you have acne-prone skin it might be a pass because there is a handful of them that are problematic. In terms of price, this is a full size 1.7 ounce, 50 milliliters, and retails for 16 bucks, really good deal in my opinion. It's a decent option for dry but not super sensitive skin. If you have acne-prone or oily skin, there are a few similar alternatives that are upwards of $200, so it's interesting to see this one at 16 bucks. It still has that fragrance ingredient in there. In terms of Bubble's products, it's not my favorite. I gave it a six to seven out of ten."

"The Bubble Slam Dunk moisturizer is overall a decent moisturizer, just contained one fragrance ingredient which I didn't love. It does not contain any drying types of alcohol and it's also fragrance free unscented, which is really nice. It's made in the US."

"At a 10 being a perfect score, this one's a six, seven. It's okay. In terms of Bubble products, it's not my favorite."
Bubble Skincare Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer Review, How to Use, Dupes
"The cinnamon scent in here isn't very noticeable but you will notice a little bit of a scent when you apply it. Some companies contend that this extract has antioxidant benefits but the fragrance and the potential irritation in my opinion outweigh that benefit. I just think you're better off not using products with that instead of thinking you're going to have some benefit from it because it's more likely you'll probably be irritated from it than have any benefits from it, and especially when there's so many other good antioxidants that don't have a fragrance component to it. They didn't have to include it and they probably shouldn't have. It's got a lotiony slightly jellish texture and it does smooth into the skin pretty nice. It ends up having a slightly tacky finish and for me I preferred using this in my evening routine."

"The Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer feels like a heavier cream. This one I personally prefer because I like heavier moisturizers. If you have drier skin, this is something that's going to be for you."
Approved
"The texture is that silky kind of cream with a nice richness to it. If you want a creamy moisturizer that bursts into hydration on your skin, I honestly think the Bubble Slam Dunk is more hydrating than Laneige. This is a very, very surprisingly hydrating and very refreshing on the skin while still maintaining a richness and a creaminess and a moisturizing, comforting feel on the skin, with a little bit of occlusivity to hug everything in. But this is still a medium to lightweight type of cream. It's a really special kind of experience with this moisturizer, and it's a little bit more affordable if you are on a budget."
