What the gurus are saying

This cream layers seamlessly under sunscreen and over vitamin C in morning routines without pilling or greasiness, a rare find that stays put on skin while absorbing quickly. The formula contains ten types of hyaluronic acid plus plant oils like safflower and argan that lock in moisture, making it especially suited to combination to dry skin. Apply to damp skin and wait a few minutes for full absorption. One note: those with very dry skin may want to pair it with a richer night cream or occlusive, since some gurus find it lighter than what their driest skin needs at night.

"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. I really enjoyed this product more than I thought I would."

"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, moisturizing but not heavy, is from Isntree, 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 it's my nighttime moisturizer, but I envision that in the middle of winter, when it's really dead cold, it would probably make a really nice one to use in the morning."

"Isntree's Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream retails for 13.32 and this is just an all around rockstar that's suitable for all skin types. It's a cream texture that contains various different blends of hyaluronic acid that hydrates, works well to help with dehydrated skin, and does not leave your skin feeling greasy, shiny, sticky, or heavy."

"The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream is really unique. I like it because it feels very lightweight but it is so, so nourishing, and for people who have dry skin who don't like putting on a thick cream but feel like they really need that moisture and they actually want to feel their moisturizer on their skin, this is what that does. There are people out there who feel like as soon as they put their moisturizer on it's absorbed by their skin and then it's gone and their skin is raisin again, and if that's you this is the product for you, because it sits on your skin, it absorbs in, but then you can still feel that it's there and you don't feel like you're drying out. You feel like you have a nice supportive moisturizer barrier on the outside of your skin, and that's exactly what this does. For me this is too rich to use during the day because I wouldn't want to go and put sunscreen on top of it, but at night, if my skin is really suffering or I just feel like I want that little hug of moisturizer and to feel it on me, this is what I use."
