Most Helpful Positive Review Absolutely FANTASTIC moisturizer! I live in Upstate NY where the brutal cold outside rips your skin apart, then the dry heat inside makes it crumble up an fall off. I am a skincare junkie, and don't mind spending good money on quality products.
I read an article about this moisturizer, and liked that it didn't have harsh chemicals in it, so I figured I would check it out.
I REALLY like how you get a lot of product for a very reasonable price. The cream has a nice, thick consistency. It easily glides over skin and absorbs very well. It is awesome for am and pm use because it leaves your skin super soft, moisturized and ready for makeup. My skin not only is super hydrated and not flaky or cracking (thanks to Upstate NY winters!), but it is looking super healthy and radiant! The longer I use this, the better it gets! I've started using it on my neck and decolete recently and have noticed a HUGE difference there too! I notice less and less creepiness.
These natural ingredients (that smell super light and pleasantly fresh) also must help with fine lines too because mine are definitely less noticeable than before.
This is easily one of my favorite moisturizers of all time! It works VERY well and it is super affordable! Who needs chemicals when this natural formula is incredible!
*My somewhat sensitive skin had no negative reactions at all and I haven't had any issues with breakouts or clogged pores.
*Metal tube makes getting the product out easy with no waste or spilling.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not a fan of this I received this Hydra-Repair Day Cream complimentary from Grown Alchemist in exchange for my honest review. I'm not a fan of the packaging for this cream. The metal tube was extremely difficult to open the seal for the first time; it was so ridiculously difficult that I almost gave up before I finally punctured the seal, which was kind of messy so that was a bit inconvenient. The scent of this cream is interesting; I'm not quite sure if I like it or not. I didn't really like having that scent on my face so I started using it as a hand cream after the first few tries. The cream is thick and has a nice texture, and it seems hydrating enough so far. Overall I thought this cream was just okay. I like that this product is vegan and cruelty-free though.
Reviewed by 103 customers slightly heavy for oily skin 3
clnycccc from NYC
This moisturizer is really good for dry skin. It doesn't feel greasy at all but it is a little heavy for oily skin; even in the winter. For me, I tend to use water/gel based moisturizers but I got this as part of a set I purchased.
Love the scent 5
TajMahaj from Vermont
My skin is softer and it has repaired my dry cracked hands. I was a fraud to use it in my face but now I do not want to be without it.
Ok but not a great moisturizer 2
Gray Haired Lady from Virginia
Got a sample and it's an okay moisturizer. Does not smell good and after applying on top of my usual serum my face still felt a litter tight. May be better for someone whose skin is not as dry as mine
Favorite Moisturizer for Winter 5
Han from Maryland
Thick moisturizer that's not heavy or greasy. I apply this and it lasts me all day. It's been the game changer for my skin texture. Solid formula.
Smells fantastic! 3
Nicole2279 from Michigan
This has a lovely scent and I love the fact that it comes in a metal tube. It definitely does what it says, there is no shine after using. I'm 52 and don't wear cover up so I want the dewy look. This isn't going to give you that so it might be perfect for people who wear makeup. It absorbs quickly and found myself needing to reapply often. Not for me but may be great if you're looking for light hydration and a matte finish.
Bang for your buck moisturiser 5
myskincaremakeuplife from NYC
I received this complimentary from Grown Alchemist for review and honest feedback. I have combination skin which is bit tricky to moisturise. Not only this moisturiser provided a soothing non greasy hydration, it also magically made my dry patches disappear in two applications. When my skin is agitated and red due to overexfoliation, I use it as a overnight mask and it soothes and does not sting at all. My sensitive nose is also happy with the fragrance or lack of it. Its expensive , sure but I also reach out for it more often so I will repurchase it for sure.
Holy grail product! 5
Jennifer C from Tennessee
I've been using this lotion for over a year and have repurchased. For me, it's not enough hydration on its own, however, I layer this over the Clinique Dramatically different moisturizing lotion+ as a primer before makeup application. It's perfect. The Clinique lotion can be slightly greasy and layering this lotion on top, gives me the perfect finish and it's silicone free, which is a plus in my book.
A must have!! 5
mecarmelita from undisclosed
This product makes my skin feel AMAZING. I have mature skin so when the seasons change so does my skin drastically, this has been a life saver during these cold months, I love that a little goes a longing way. I'm still not to convinced with the packaging but hey we can't have it all..its does have a slight (plastic like smell) smell which is odd due to its packaging not being plastic..
Over all I would definitely purchase another tube once I have finished this one..
To Be Determined…. 4
amandam759 from undisclosed
As someone with ridiculously dry skin (this started about a year ago, still not sure what to think about it) - i have been searching EVERYWHERE for a crazy good moisturizer. I hoped this would be it. I do love the packaging, and it has a nice light scent. I used the gel cleanser and the toner first, then followed it with this. No complaints, but also nothing i have found to really rave about yet. It feels light, but that also meant it didn't feel super hydrating on my skin. This may be due to the toner? Or perhaps i didn't apply enough? So I'll update after i do this consecutively. My opinion may also be unfair, because i would guess my skin is way dry-ER than the average human being :(
Great moisturizer, but with a strong scent 4
Jake from Chicago, Illinois
Great moisturizer. It's lightweight, which is something I look for in a day moisturizer. I like the minimalists metal tube packaging too. The only con is the strong scent, but I can deal with that for a good cream that works. Would recommend it for all skin types.
Not hydrating enough 3
Dryskingal23 from San Diego, CA
✨the aesthetics of this brand are undeniable. it feels very luxe and chic. I personally don't like this kind of packaging for moisturizer though and generally prefer a jar
💭 as for the actual product, it's a lightweight cream that absorbs easily. it definitely feels more like a day cream, and it's not hydrating enough for me at night. the hydration doesn't last very long and is more surface level. it smells really good—light floral scent with citrus (camellia and geranium blossom). so I'll be using this more as a hand cream
Lovely for my dry skin 4
embrg20 from MN
This day cream from Grown Alchemist has been a holy grail for my dry skin. I often find it difficult to find daytime creams/moisturizers that are hydrating enough for my dry skin but not thick like a night cream. This cream is just the right consistency for me. I love that it feels really nice and hydrating but doesn't make my face shiny or oily. The hydration lasts all day too!
I really like this metal tube that it comes in- I think that less plastic waste is always a good thing! I was a little disappointed however in the giant box that this small product came in. It just seems like so much unnecessary waste.

lightweight but hydrating 5
Ladyyy from Columbus, OH
First of all, this cream has an amazing texture, it's lightweight but hydrating and absorbs fast. I love that it is all natural and cruelty free… and love the packaging! The ingredients are packed with the best stuff for your skin. I've been applying it everyday and my skin has never been better. My skin tone is more even and just looks more hydrated, plump, and radiant. I can't say anything but good things about this product! Highly recommend.
Great cleanser 5
Babydoll from OK
I received this product complimentary from Grown Alchemist. This cream cleanser is perfect for colder weather when skin is more dry and more sensitive. It's very gentle and not stripping, super hydrating and actually feels soothing when my skin is irritated. Definitely a keeper.
Very hydrating 5
Marythomm from Miami, FL
I actually have super dry skin and very few moisturizers actually provide hydration. But I love how hydrating this is. I have very dry skin and this helps a lot. It isn't greasy also. Works very well under makeup. This is a great one. I highly recommend.
I love this product! 5
Sophia from Philadelphia, PA
This is the most hydrating product ever. It works so well for my dry skin. The consistency is really nice too and I love the packaging. It feels super soothing on the skin and I love that it has jojoba oil in the ingredients list. I also love that it is formulated without synthetic colors - which is a huge plus in my book. I love it and highly recommend it!
I wanted to love this 2
Ro from Arizona
I wanted to love this moisturizer, but sadly it did not live up to the hype. I found this product through the Think Dirty App, which rates products based on toxic ingredients. This is a super clean moisturizer so I decided to try, I also love the aesthetic. For me it was not hydrating at all, but might be better for someone with oily skin (I am super dry). Th other thing is it really smells like lemon pledge.
Super hydrating 4
Teedee from California
This is a great moisturizing cream when skin needs that extra boost of hydration and will be perfect during the winter months. The cream is rich so don't use too much product because can easily cover the whole face with a small amount. I've only incorporated it into my nighttime routine or during the day when I don't want to wear much makeup. My skin is velvety soft and has a nice healthy glow.
Great but bad packaging 4
JF from Austin, TX
This is a really lovely cream. The texture of it is really lovely, the cream is very hydrating and works well for my sensitive skin. The one thing I will say, is that this arrived in a huge box, inside of another huge box for a small cream. The box says something green, which is ridiculously hypocritical because there's nothing sustainable about sending such huge boxes in the packaging. The product itself though is great.
holy grail alert!! 5
Maleny from Springville, Utah
be prepared because this cream will BLOW your mind, I couldn't believer how hydrating it is and just a small amount and it's enough to feel absolutely hydrated and is not sticky, absolutely got obsessed over this
Amazing 5
ShaneT from Tampa
Such an amazing and wonderful day cream! I'm so glad to have found this product! It's super hydrating and just melts into your skin. It definitely helps to keep my skin moisturized throughout the entire day!

great lightweight texture 4
hoarderbeauty from CA
The packaging is so gorgeous, very minimalist and sleek but I am glad to report it is also very practical. This has a faint floral smell. The texture is quite runny and feels lightweight and absorbs fast. This is very hydrating even in the cold weather.
So amazing! 5
sophia from los angeles, ca
This Hydra-Repair Day Cream is seriously a dream! It is super hydrating which I need because I have dry skin, and it absorbs super fast into my skin. It isn't greasy at all and it makes my skin feel so good.
Perfect for my dry skin this winter! 5
Kantinovich from New York, NY
I received this product complimentary from Grown Alchemist for my honest review. I have this day cream! This would be a perfect option for those with dry skin. My skin type is dry and sensitive and this cream didn't irritate my skin at all. It's very thick and hydrating, perfect for the winter season. One thing I love is that it isn't greasy like other thick creams I've used and it absorbs fast and doesn't 'sit' on top of your skin like some other creams I've tried. There is a slight fragrance it to so wanted to note that as I know some people are looking for fragrance free. I personally like the fragrance and it isn't overpowering.
