Mario Badescu Elasto-Collagen Night Cream, 1 oz.

I use this overnight. Does it make me look younger? You decide. I'm 83! In all seriousness, it's not a creamy consistency and is a little greasy but hasn't caused me any issues. My skin feels soft and smooth (I'm 50 not 83)

A very rich cream. If you have oily skin, you might not need this or be happy with it. This rich cream is for those whose skin does not produce oil. So for instance, very dry non-oily skin produces no sheen on the skin even by 3 PM. For this kind of dry, no-oil skin, the cream goes right in and absorbs nicely. Those with normal skin or over-active oily skin might find this too heavy, the cream will likely not penetrate your film of sebum and then therefore will feel greasy. If you want to penetrate into the skin, wash your oily skin with the hottest water you can stand along with real soap. Use alcohol-based toner, THEN apply the cream to a damp skin. If you want an oily feel, then follow this cream with a petrolatum-based cream, patted on carefully. petrolatum acts like the missing sebum. vegetable-based creams do not seal the skin like sebum does. The reviews here differ wildly because the skins of each customer are very different.

Justo lo que esperabamos

This hasn't been great on me. I'm in my 50s and normally like a rich night cream for my dry skin, but have had continuous breakout since I began using it, even if I apply it very sparingly. Going to have to give up now as my skin just isn't adjusting.

I absolutely love this night cream! After finishing a pot of another brand, I was on the search for a hydrating, vegan nighttime face cream and all the reviews pointed me to Mario Badescue. The scent is light, the cream is thick but goes on effortlessly, and my skin couldn't be happier. My husband does frequently ask why my skin is so shiny when I come to bed, as the cream doesn't soak in 100% but there are no complaints on this. I'm already on my second pot of this since quarantine started and I will never be switching to anything else. As a 31-year old, I am doing everything in my power to prevent wrinkles and dryness. I think this is helping.
