Brighter, Smoother Skin After Just One Week!
I've been using the EQQUALBERRY Vitamin Illuminating Cream for about a week now, and so far I'm really enjoying it! The first night I received it, I used it as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine. The cream has a thick, rich texture and a slight collagen-like scent. The scent is noticeab...

Very Moisturizing, but Not Much Brightening for Me!!
I've been using this cream for almost three weeks now, and I have mixed feelings about it. The texture is a little different from other creams I've tried. It's creamy, a bit thick and sticky, almost stretchy, with tiny white dots in it. It spreads nicely on the skin, but it does take a little time t...

The Eqqualberry Vitamin Illuminating Cream is good at keeping my skin hydrated and leaving it feeling soft and comfortable. I also noticed a nice glow to my skin after using it, which was definitely a plus. Overall, I enjoyed the moisturizing benefits and the healthy looking finish it gave my skin. While I liked it, it didn't necessarily stand out enough for me to consider it a must have. It's a decent cream if hydration and a natural glow are what you're looking for!
Nice addition to routine!

This cream goes on like a serum. It spreads thin but it not sticky. It added great moisture but I did not notice a brightening effect. I would buy again for the vitamins and moisture but would pair it with a vitamin C serum.
Decent moisturizer

I used this after toner and notice it does give my face a nice glow with blurring effect. Vitamin c is the main ingredient and it's great for brightening. It doesn't have a scent so it's perfect for sensitive skin.

It doesn't take long to absorb into the skin nor does it leave it greasy. I focused more on areas that had discoloration, hyperpigmentation and scarring. It definitely led to improvements to create a more healthy glow. This works well as a base under sunblock.
Nice, gel-like cream for those warm days

I received this product in exchange for my review. Let's start with the positives. This cream has very light, gel consistency that allows it to absorb quickly into the skin. It's fragrance-free which i know is a must for some. Its subtle glow on the skin make it enjoyable to wear on warm Texas days when little to no makeup is preferred. Now for the cons, if we'd like to call them a such. First, I don't see this cream doing much to keep my skin hydrated on cold, blistering days. However, I did try layering it with a thicker moisturizer and it played very well with it, causing no pilling. Lastly, it is advertised as a cream that will reduce dark spots. I tried it on a specific spot and noticed no change in the 2 weeks I've had to test it out. This was based on once-a-day application. Overall, I think it's a nice product that I will purchase when the temperature starts creeping up again.
