I apologize for forgetting to take a photo of the actual texture. It has a medium weight texture and a creamy color. I used this as a winter daytime moisturizer or a summer night moisturizer. It’s rich and moisturizing with kokum & cupuacu butters plus kukui & babassu oils. I love that she put MSM (supports collagen production & health, anti-inflammatory) and anti-inflammatory turmeric. I really like those two. It also has the nice things like aloe, soothing mallow & cucumber, fermented bamboo, oat protein, melon and alpha-arbutin. It gives the skin a nice radiant glow and while it’s very nourishing it’s not heavy or greasy. It is quite pricey for the size, that’s not unheard of for the brand. They are small and use a lot of good quality ingredients. I’ll go into the serum below, of the two the serum is definitely my favorite. I like this one but I think I would probably go for the serum over buying the moisturizer again. If I had it I would use it because it’s nice but for the size yes it’s quite pricey.

Ingredients
Aloe Barbadensis Juice, Saccharomyces/Grape Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Agave Tequiliana Leaf Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Ferment Extract, Niacinamide, Aqua (Water), Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea (Bamboo) Leaf Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Ferment Extract, Astaxanthin, Croton Lechleri (Dragon’s Blood) Resin Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Glycerin, Beta Glucan, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Anisate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Levulinate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Citric acid.
This serum has a nice gel texture. It’s got a ton of fermented extracts (grape, agave, avocado, pumpkin, bamboo, pomegranate), niacinamide, astaxanthin (power antioxidant), Dragon’s Blood (healing, antioxidant, purifying), turmeric (anti-inflammatory), beta glucan (hydrating, soothing) & sodium hyaluronate. It’s really a lovely serum. It’s also really expensive, but it’s quite nice. This is for those who want a really gentle serum to enhance cellular renewal & repair. This is for the skincare connoisseur and the YOU Skincare fan. If you’re familiar with the line this is more gentle than NJAAS. It should suit the more sensitive skin types as well as anyone with dull or congested skin who is looking for a boost. I love this product. It’s pricey but a nice luxury treat and I really enjoy it when I have it. I quite love fermented ingredients, Dragon’s Blood & turmeric. This is a thicker gel and it does have some nice hydration to it, more than the average serum. I found it gentle and it gives my skin a nice glow overall. I don’t see everyone willing to pay the $149 for it, as I said above it’s for the skincare connoisseur and YOU Skincare fans. That’s who I see really getting into this one. I do love the serum more than the cream and I have gone through two bottles so far.
