Highlights

  • Natural beauty
  • Cruelty-free
  • Good for: Fine lines & wrinkles

Details & care

What it is: A light, mattifying moisturizer that hydrates, balances, renews, and protects while improving the complexion's appearance.

Who it's for: Combination to oily skin types.

What it does: Powered by TFC8®, this moisturizer targets the root causes of overactive sebum, while offering antioxidant protection against pollution and other environmental triggers of unwanted shine. The lightweight moisturizer refreshes and hydrates while strengthening the skin barrier, and helps prevent water loss for a plump, supple complexion. It reduces the appearance of pores, for smoother-looking skin, calms redness and reduces irritation for healthier-looking skin. The formula combats the signs of aging, while improving elasticity, tone, and texture.

Research results:
In a clinical study on 60 participants over 12 weeks:
- Skin sebum was reduced by 38%.
- Pores looked 54% less noticeable.
- Wrinkles were visibly reduced by 45%.
- Skin elasticity improved by 51%.
- Skin firmness improved by 55%.
- Skin radiance was visibly improved by 66%.
- Hyperpigmentation was visibly reduced by 55%.
- Skin's hydration improved by 213%.
- Transepidermal water loss was reduced by 32%.

How to use: After cleansing and prepping your skin, gently massage the desired amount of The Light Cream over the face, neck, and décolletage. Smooth the cream along your jawline in upward sweeping motions. Sweep from your nose to your ears and across your forehead and massage cream over the cheeks to your temples. Apply from the base of the neck to the tip of the chin and take any excess cream and massage over the décolletage.

Not worth the $

Not worth the money. This brand seems to be making me breakout hardcore. Maybe it's the transition time but after a week and a half I've just wasted TONS of money.

Amazing for combination skin

I have mature combination skin (on cheeks and forehead) and I am continually on the quest for a moisturiser that suits my skin but provides protection and firming/lifting. This is a lovely light cream which spreads very well compared to the Rich Cream and suits my skin type much better. This leaves a matt appearance, but not dry looking and does not make my skin look bumpy and shiny. This product does not encourage redness either even though I am used to retinol. I am not sure if this will do much firming but not much does in reality. This is a great every day product. The bottle being rounded at the bottom does not stand up though unless turned upside down which is strange compared to the other varieties.

Very matte

The texture is very matte, almost drying, which can be good if skin is really oily, but I thought it would be a more hydrating light gel/cream. It did not prove to be super helpful with fine lines either, which could be due to the matte finish which made the skin look more dehydrated than it actually is.

Light gel moisturiser

I bought the light cream although wanted the the cream by Augustine Bader as I really liked that one but there was a glitch on the app which wouldn’t let me purchase. I have to be honest on my 50 year old skins the cream out of the 3 is the best, the rich cream was too rich the light cream is a lovely gel/ serum/moisturiser it looks like on the skin the only reason I gave a 4 was because the cream is far better for my needs. It melts into the skin beautifully but I just felt my skin immediately looked so much better with the cream, the rich cream a little too rich maybe better as a night cream.

Perfection

I struggle with finding the right lotion for my skin. Most are too heavy, others too watery. This is perfect. I love how it goes into my skin, leaving it soft and with a glow. I don’t feel oily after an hour, which is amazing. Love it!
