Half & Half Peptides & Ceramides Fluid Moisturizer.

"Overall, I have enjoyed this product. It's very pleasant, lightweight, hydrating and moisturizing. It plays well under sunscreen and layers well under other things. It's a fragrance-free liquid moisturizer, essentially a milky toner marketed as a fluid moisturizer, formulated with glycerin, squalane, sodium PCA and amino acids, a ceramide blend, rice protein and peptides, which together support hydration and the skin barrier. It's basically suitable for any skin type. That said, I don't think it's doing anything particularly revolutionary above and beyond any other lightweight milky toner. It's well formulated and I would happily repurchase it and use it again in the future, and I get why it's so popular, but personally I would not put it above Haru Haru Wonder Black Rice Probiotic Barrier Essence or the Cellamax dual barrier cream. There's nothing wrong with it, it's a good one, but it's not a must-have, a holy grail. Prequel did a good job with this."

"They have hexaeptide 11 and a good blend of ceramide complex. So you're not only getting the skin barrier repairing story, but you're also getting a much more skin firming story. So if you have extremely dry skin looking for peptides and ceramides, I think this is the one. And also, you can't really beat the price for this. The only thing that really bothers me though is a slight odor that I would have to say from the ingredients in the base. I don't know what that is, but it's not like the most pleasant smell on this planet, but that's the only thing. But other than that, beautiful experience. Really, really soothing and skin conditioning. And also very substantially heavier in terms of the body. So you would love it if especially if you're trying to layer multiple different coats of a liquid moisturizer."

"We've got a ton of ceramides in here, rice protein, one, two, three, four, five ceramides. So to call it ceramides and peptides is a little bit overpromising. It's got basically a duo peptide in there, which there's nothing wrong with. But for real anti-aging, I think this is going to leave a little bit to be desired. But as long as you use it in a routine with other good anti-aging things, I think it'll fit in well. But if you're relying on this solely for anti-aging, I think you might be left a little disappointed. There's a lot of great peptides out there and just using picking one basic duo, I don't love that. But that being said, it's really nice. If you have oily skin, it's a nice way to get some ceramides and barrier repairing ingredients in there without the thickness or heaviness of a moisturizer that can end up greasy. It feels really nice, not sticky at all. A lot of moisturizers or fluid moisturizers can be kind of sticky. This does not leave your skin feeling sticky at all. Feels really nice. Nice base moisturizer. I think in the summer on the hotter, more humid days, I probably could get away with just using this underneath my sunscreen and going with it. Rice protein, the peptide duo, vitamin E, squalane, which is a good antioxidant."

"This is a very flexible product. It could be used as a serum or it can be used as a really light emulsion moisturizer as a final product in your skincare routine. Because there's two different uses for this, this could be a great product for folks who have combo skin that leans dry or if you have a dry skin type, this would be a great serum option for you. If you have a little bit more of an oily skin type, this could be a good moisturizer option for you because it's not like a heavy thick cream. It's not something that seals your skin off or really has any occlusivity to it. So this could be a really nice fluidy moisturizer option for you without all that heaviness and that seal it off quality. This is a really interesting mixture of ingredients here but it really is focused on your skin barrier. Half and half actually refers to half peptides and half ceramides. They're using metatricxel 3000, which can help to stimulate collagen. It has some really great anti-aging benefits, but it's also really helpful for just helping your skin retain hydration."
