Most Helpful Positive Review Great product and mission, not so great scent I love what this company is doing and what they stand for. I've been getting into natural products & zero-waste/non-plastic packaging and this was perfect. The cream itself is super nice and it slowly sinks into my skin. I actually prefer heavier creams and I think this strikes the right balance between thick and greasy and thin and non-hydrating. Oilier skin types/people who prefer gel moisturizers might not be into it. Now for the part I disliked the most and really disliked a lot. It is VERY STRONGLY SCENTED. I don't know if it has added fragrance or if the ingredients they use just naturally have a scent but phew, it is a strong orange-frankinscence scent. Sometimes it even smells like weed to me? Anyway, if you're thinking about it, just know that it is super super super strong smelling and it takes a while for it to die down. I'll probably use it (I haven't had a reaction or anything to it) but won't buy it again 'cause of the smell.
Most Helpful Critical Review I wanted to like it I bought this to use as a day cream because I'd been having issues with a dry chin and oily congested forehead. The smell is quite strong which I didn't like at first, but I feel like it actually mellowed out a little after the jar was opened. The citrus scent is the dominant aroma but the frankincense gives it a strong smoky herbal undertone that some people might not like. It also does not dissipate. You may acclimate to the smell but it lingers all day. As for function, it didn't work for me for a couple of reasons. One is that it seemed to leave a faint white cast. I have darker, warm toned skin and if something doesn't absorb all the way it makes me look dull. The good reviews say it sinks in but for me there was still a bit of a sticky layer even hours later and even if I patted a thin layer on. The other issue was that after the cream dried, if I touched my face I felt an almost chalky finish which I assume is from the ground Argan shells. I don't wear makeup so I did not like the feel of that. Overall it was just ok. I will use it up as hand cream but won't be repurchasing.
Reviewed by 874 customers Love that it's vegan, still unsure how I feel! 3
MUA from CT
I use this every morning; I wanted a vegan and clean product for my daily wear. This got amazing reviews so I figured I would try it. I'm only 1 week in, and I'm still trying to figure if I like it or not. It's a thinner texture than I expected, may not be ideal for dry skin. I've been using two layers right now. But I do love the clean ingredients!
Great moisturizer 5
vablorida from NY
I wanted a simple, clean moisturizer for my face that wouldn't break me out since I am extremely acne-prone and sensitive. This was perfect. It has a very nice, natural scent and a thicker consistency. When it dries, it is not oily but instead has a mattifying effect. I liked this lotion and the company so much that I tried their serum and loved that as well! I apply the serum under this since my skin is very dry in the winter, perhaps a little too dry for this lotion, and it helps. I think this will work even better in the warmer months of the year, when my skin is less dry.
Amazing..Wish I found it sooner!!!! 5
Taylor P. from Greensboro NC
This product is amazing. I have had a super dry patch right on my chin really close to my mouth from wearing a mask constantly in this pandemic and it has really lightened and cleared right up. I could tell a difference the next morning after using this product. The smell is also amazing and not strong especially since I'm very picky about fragrances...I'm definitely purchasing this again

Answer to clear skin for me! 5
skincareguru17 from North East US
I love this! I have tried most moisturizers from high to low end brands. None has moisturized, kept my pores unclogged or didn't cause irritation, but this one does all of it! It keeps my skin super hydrated, pores clear, and no irritation! I don't know how it will work for other skin types, but if you have super sensitive, dry skin, you need it! I have SUPERRRRR sensitive & dry skin. This is the holy grail of moisturizers! 🙌🏻
Love it 5
Amanda B. from Undisclosed
I have maturing skin and have been disappointed with results from highend brands where my skin only felt nourished at first and no visible improvements. I have got compliments after I started using this moisturer. It seeps in, does not lay on the surface, plumps my skin, which still looks refreshed x hours later. Amazing value and eco friendlier :heart:?
Found a winner! 5
Liza B. from Undisclosed
I have really battled to find a moisturiser that works with my oily skin but can honestly say I won't be purchasing any other moisturiser any time soon. This one is fantastic! Soaks in well and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. Amazing texture, making my skin feel hydrated and smooth.
I like the sustainability of 5
Sarah O. from Undisclosed
I like the sustainability of this product - up-cycled ingredients and packing which can be recycled - but it's also a very good moisturiser which doesn't wear off as the day goes on.
It's so nice to find 5
Catherine B. from Undisclosed
It's so nice to find a company who tick all the boxes; small scale company, sustainable, ethical, recyclable packaging, great for my skin and affordable!!
Pleasant moisturiser 4
Jenny E. from Undisclosed
Easy to apply and sinks into skin well. Smells nice.
The Aroma Alone Does Me Good 5
Katharine T. from Undisclosed
The aroma of this moisturiser alone does me good, it's like a trip to a spa. Loving the feel of the cream on my face and how soft my skin feels now I'm almost 60 so notice dryer skin more often. Even trying it on my husband's dry skin too.
Another lovely product, well worth 4
Donna B. from Undisclosed
Another lovely product, well worth buying the only minor down point for me is the smell, it's not bad at all but something I'm not keen on.
Heavy for combination skin 2
Maria P. from Undisclosed
Unfortunately the cream was not what I hoped for. I loved the scent but I will not be using it as my everyday moisturiser. I have combination skin and the cream was really heavy for me, creating breakouts everytime I wore it.
This moisturiser just ticks all 5
Elizabeth L. from Undisclosed
This moisturiser just ticks all of the boxes for me. Eco friendly product and packaging make this moisturiser a guilt free purchase. I have also purchased this for my twelve year old daughter and she loves it with the chai spice soap to cleanse. Five stars :sparkles: same for all of the UpCircle range, looking forward to trying the 3 new products in this fabulous range.
I use this moisturiser in 5
Henrietta W. from Undisclosed
I use this moisturiser in the evening after washing my face. I love the smell and my skin feels rejuvenated in the morning. After washing in the morning I use the serum which wakes me up for the day!
Loving this moisturiser from UpCircle. 5
Bethan G. from Undisclosed
Loving this moisturiser from UpCircle. My skin has deteriorated over lockdown due to lack of care from myself but also due to lack of fresh air. This product has helped breathe a new lease of life into my routine. Can't wait to buy more, may even treat myself to a bundle! What a find!

Best Moisturiser ever I love it it soaks in so well
This moisturiser is light enough 5
Louise B. from Undisclosed
This moisturiser is light enough to be used twice a day, smells great, and is absorbed quickly into my skin. It seems to be helping clear up some dry patches on my cheeks, yay!
Yum 5
Roisin C. from Undisclosed
Lovely moisturiser. Feels super light for the effect! The smell is gorgeous too
Hydrated Happy Skin 5
Hannah W. from Undisclosed
The moisturiser has a sweet balance of feeling light on your skin, smelling divine and leaving your face feel hydrated. It is the perfect start and end to the day and my freckled face feels better for it.
Dry Skin to Bright Skin 5
Gail E. from Undisclosed
I love this moisturiser. I soaks into my skin easily and helps my very dry skin to feel soft and healthy!
Saved my skin 5
I-CAN-SEE-CLEARLY-NOW from Wisconsin
This whole skincare line is amazing. I started out using only the cleansing balm and moisturizer, then I started using the charcoal and chocolate bar after cleansing, then moisturizer. I really didnt think my skin could get better, but it did! I'm not sure if they have the chocolate and charcoal bar at ulta, but definitely think they should start carrying all Upcircle products!
Absorbed easily 5
Hayley W. from Undisclosed
I love this moisturiser because it is nourishing yet super absorbent. Not greasy at all and is a perfect base for everyday makeup. Will keep reordering. Thanks UpCircle!
