e.l.f.SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream, Moisturizer For Nourishing & Plumping Skin, Infused With Hyaluronic Acid, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 1.76 Oz

I have been looking for a lower-cost alternative to an active facial moisturizer for a long time. I wanted something that had hyaluronic acid (to help retain moisture in the skin), squalane (a derivative of something the skin makes naturally, plus it's antioxidant, plus it has some antibiotic properties to help with zits), and niacinamides (anti-aging, skin smoothing, and also helps prevent moisture loss). Finding these in one product that wasn't $30-40 was a TRIAL, let me tell you.(Side note: Someone else said "this product has hyaluronic acid and acid is bad for skin so do not buy this". This person has not done research into what ingredients are beneficial in skin care, they're just reacting to the word 'acid'. You want hyaluronic acid in your moisturizer. Google it.)But, e.l.f. to the rescue. This product does come in a fragrance-free version if that's your jam, but the scent of the product is light and not cloying (there's no reason to have fragrance in any skin care product unless the base scent is nasty so I took off a star for that). While I rated the "lightweight" aspect of this very low, I want to explain it this way:This is a thick, silky, rich cream. It does not feel lightweight. EXCEPT that it disappears almost instantly. I have much thinner lotions that feel lightweight but linger on my skin for a few minutes. Holy Hydration does not make you feel like you have a thick layer of goop on you that you have to wash off. It also IMMEDIATELY makes my skin feel like supple velvet. I usually apply it at night, and even by morning my skin still feels super-soft.Frankly, I like the effects so much I've started to use it on my neck, upper chest, hands, and elbows. I'm going through it a little faster (a little goes a long way), but it's worth it for the results. Five stars. Buy it.

My skin has been so hydrated, soft and supple since I started using this. I use it once in the morning at the start of my day and once at night before bed. And it keeps my skin hydrated and amazing feeling all day and all night. There’s many a day where this is the only skin care I use that day. I wash my face with warm water. I worked in a dermatologist office a while back and this is what most of the doctors suggested. Just explaining why I don’t use soap on my face. I have sensitive skin and most face washes have the opposite of my desired effect. But this was perfect for my sensitive skin and it looks and feels amazing since I started using this a month ago. It’s worth every penny and gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

Nice face cream and very affordable!! Great texture and slightly lighter weight for my acne prone areas on my face. It is not sticky and feels great! Definitely will purchase again… and again!!

Loved this product. It is great a hydrating, therefore blurring fine lines of mature skin.

This moisturizer is terrific. It feels great and works really well - lasts all day. I also like the look of the container. The price is great, generous quantity of cream. Will purchase again.

It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated all day. I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin’s texture and glow after using it regularly. It’s not greasy, has a pleasant scent, and works well under makeup. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for a high-quality moisturizer!

I have sensitive skin and while this moisturizer is hydrating and has a nice texture when being put on, I personally found that it stings my skin a couple of minutes after application. It also pills up on my skin so I don't feel like the product is completely soaking into my skin barrier. Good for the price but I'll stick to my other go-to moisturizers.

I don’t know what kind of sorcery e.l.f. put in this little jar, but my face is so hydrated it’s basically drinking from the Fountain of Youth. One application and my skin went from “dry and stressed-out” to “radiant and thriving” like it just got back from a month-long spa retreat.The texture? Smooth like butter. The moisture? Lasts all day. The scent? Light and fresh—nothing that makes me feel like I accidentally face-planted into a perfume counter. And the best part? It plumps my skin so well, I almost forgot about the sleep I didn’t get last night.
