What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this cream for its rare combination of hydration and lightweight feel, noting it layers well under sunscreen and makeup without pilling or greasiness. The formula's quick absorption and plant oil blend make it versatile across seasons and skin types, though it may fall short for those with very dry skin seeking maximum richness. The price point is repeatedly highlighted as exceptional value.

"This cream has got more emollient and inclusives, namely plant-derived oils for example safflower oil, apricot kernel oil, and argan oil that really offer better occlusive properties to really help reduce transepidermal water loss. With that it's going to be more suitable for those that have combination to dry and dry skin, and that is what I really love and what I use during the winter time mostly in the morning. It's a cream but it's still really lightweight so I think it's really great to use in the morning under sunscreen. But for me as someone who prefers something ultra rich and nourishing at night, I find this to not be enough. And so if you have super dry skin, you may not also find this to offer enough support for your skin. But otherwise I love using this in the morning in the winter time. In the evening I would probably use this during the summer time if I were to use this as my evening moisturizer. It's fairly versatile and it's elegant and lightweight but you just have to play around with it to see when and which time of the year would best suit your skin."

How to apply topical retinoid, tips from dermatologist | Dr. Jenny Liu
"This is a lightweight cream that absorbs really quickly. It contains 10 different types of hyaluronic acid. The formulation for my skin, for my combination dry skin, I love using in the morning because it's lightweight but hydrating, still supporting my skin but won't cause peeling or problems under sunscreen. I recommend applying it on damp skin all over your face, then wait for about maybe 5 minutes or so for that to fully absorb."

10 Tips to Switch Up your Skincare Routine: Summer to Fall
"Another one that I really have been loving lately that's very hydrating and moisturizing but not heavy is from isntree and it's their Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream. It is a cream that absorbs really quickly, has various different blends of hyaluronic acid and plant-derived oils. It's nourishing but not heavy and so I love it right now as my nighttime moisturizer, but I envisioned that in the middle of the winter when it's like just dead cold, when it's like negative 40 degrees out, this probably make a really nice one for it to use in the morning."

"It feels lightweight but it's very hydrated at the same time, which is nice. It's a very elegant formula, especially for the price. It works so well in both of my routines but especially in my morning routine. It's hard to find a good product that works great, protects your skin, hydrates it, doesn't feel too greasy, and works great under foundation without pilling. I really enjoyed this product more than I thought I would. For acne-prone skin, there are a few ingredients of note: cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, apricot oil, safflower oil, and vitamin E, so for very acne-prone skin it might be worth checking out the other version of this. At 3.38 ounces for 14 bucks, it's a bargain. For beneficial ingredients, we've got argan oil, safflower oil, vitamin E, and Pteris multifida extract, which is from a plant called spider brake fern that's been used in traditional Chinese medicine but is now being used topically as a potential anti-aging ingredient with antioxidant properties."

"I really appreciate that I can use this in my morning routine over vitamin C without any issues. There's not a ton of products that really play well in my morning routine that work well under sunscreen but also work well over vitamin C. It's hard to find because sometimes they'll be great over vitamin C and then they'll peel up under a sunscreen or look too greasy. This one fit the bill for that. The finish of it is slightly radiant. Once it soaks in it sets to kind of a more natural finish but a little bit goes a long way. It's non-sticky. If you have dry skin or in a dry environment I recommend using a sleeping mask all over this or a sunscreen over this something to lock in the hyaluronic acid. It works very well and feels nice on skin. It feels lightweight but it's very hydrated at the same time, which is nice. It's a very elegant formula, especially for the price. It works so well in both of my routines but especially in my morning routine. It's hard to find a good product in your morning routine that works great, protects your skin, hydrates it, doesn't look or feel too greasy, and works great under foundation without pilling.

"Beta glucan is an amazing ingredient, really wonderful. It's in my opinion the next best version of hyaluronic acid in terms of the it factor. It's a really wonderful product. Wonderful formula, great texture. It takes a minute to soak in but once it does it sets to a really nice finish on your skin. Wonderful formula, texture, cruelty free, affordable. It's a very unique formula, there's not a ton of similar alternatives to this one. Isntree does a really great job with their products. In fact they have some of my favorite moisturizers of all time."
