NIOD Hydration Vaccine Face Cream 50ml

I love this product. I will eventually have to purchase a very tiny spoon or spatula though, as the opening of the jar is quite small and smaller than the jar itself. That's my only complaint, and not a big deal. This comes in a dark glass jar, which is great, as that tells me that there are some really good active ingredients, and they are preserving them correctly. THIS IS NOT A PRIMARY MOISTURIZER. They state that pretty clearly in the description and how to use instructions. This is for after serums, BEFORE moisturizer. It helps build the moisture barrier on your skin. I looked up every single ingredient and YOU GUYS!! THESE INGREDIENTS ARE TRULY AMAZING. I am now surprised it was not more expensive. A little goes a VERY long way. If you feel like it doesn't sink into skin, or it is pilling, then you have used too much. I think over an extended period of time, this product is going to be a crucial part of my skincare routine. It is also very mattifying on it's own and would probably work great as a primer

This has an interesting consistency. It's different than a lot of other moisturizers and has an almost cream/gel-like texture that immediately melts into your skin. It really does feel like it's moisturizing your skin on a deeper level. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price but a little goes a long way! I use it primarily at nighttime because it has a heavier consistency but would definitely use it during the day on cold winter months.

This product "pills" or "rolls up" when I put anything over it. I put on a bare minerals tinted sunscreen and the NIOD pills and does not blend with the tinted sunscreen. I also have tried to put on powder blush with a brush and little chunks pill up and stick to your face.

This worked great in winter. I have oily skin and large pores so it's difficult to find a good face cream. This stuff is great. It soaks in quickly and leaves my skin velvety smooth, and it even makes the appearance of my pores less noticeable. Nighttime routine, if I sleep on my side and the pillow ends up soaking up the cream I wake with less than moisturized skin, but if I sleep on my back I wake to a plump and fresh face.

If you have dry dehydrated skin and you want to protect your moisture barrier this is your product. It has such a beautiful blurring effect, I love to just wear it on its own with a little powder on top. The moisturizing effect lasts all day and my skin feels bouncier/more resilient since I started using this every day. I wear the Neck Elasticity Catalyst on the bottom part of my face and my neck/décolletage, and the Hydration Vaccine everywhere else.

I do love this product. I have been using it several weeks and I know I want to order the larger size in the tube next order. It is so smooth going on and makes a wonderful make up base. I do use SPF after and before makeup.
