not as good as other kbeauty

I am a K beauty FANATIC. Love the face shop so wanted to try Dr Belmeur. Ceramides and panthenol and everything sounded great - but did not work for my oily/combo/sensitive skin. This always sat on top of my skin instead of hydrating it, and does not layer well under makeup. This did not work for me at all, which is surprising because the ingredients sound amazing :( I used up half the whole thing and tossed the rest.

Very soothing.

Super easy to use packaging. I like that it's a tube vs a pump like the serum because you can use all of it and essentially get your money's worth. It cleared up and calmed my textured skin. It's the equivalent of a few of the awesome K-Beauty products I've tried (Laneige) and higher end skincare products (Origins). I honestly think that gels are the best for my skin as it immediately soaked in and hydrated my skin as if I threw on a face mask.

It has a very light plant scent (a little like thyme) and calmed my sensitive skin. Price wise I find that $42 is a little steep but for something that has better ingredients and actually works I'd buy it again. I'd probably use it to calm my redness and specifically on my redness patches. I've found very few products that will actually calm it as it's from my lupus.

I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for my honest review.

Love it!

The Dr. Belmeur Panthenol Soothing Gel Cream was so refreshing and moisturizing. Went on well, soaked into my skin and got rid of any dry problem areas that I had before. Great product!

Well rounded product - great on sensitive skin

I received this product for free from Chick Advisor- I like the scent, how evenly it applies onto the skin. I used this product for a couple of weeks and noticed my skin was less dry. I recently switched back to my old product and my skin is suddenly dryer so I think I'll stick to this product! The entire line works well together and is very gentle on sensitive skin. No added scents either which just further makes it more appealing of a product for someone with sensitivities.

Reduced redness

You get a lot of product and it pumps out just enough so it's not wasteful. My skin is usually red and I noticed quite a decrease in this. I used this often after the shower for a refreshing moisture boost. Was not a thick consistency and did not notice it made my face oily.

Great daytime moisturizer

I really liked this gel. I used it for about two weeks as my sole daytime lotion under makeup. I liked that it had no intense scent and it sunk into my skin nicely without being greasy. I can't say if it made a huge difference by itself since I was also testing the thicker cream and the serum at the same time. But the combination of all three was super nice for my skin and was moisturizing enough for summer time.

One of my favourites of the line so far

I would have to say out of the three products I have tried, this one was my favourite. I have sensitive skin with dry patches, and didn't have any kind of reaction or stinging, even when I had a breakout right before starting to use these products. It soaked in nicely and didn't feel too heavy on the skin throughout the day. I did find depending on the foundation I was using it could sometimes have an affect, but that happens when adding anything new to a routine. So far really liking this paired with the serum, or on its own.

Light and smooth

First of all, I'm very happy that any of the products I have tried from Dr. Belmeur contain paraffinum or mineral oil, I seriously RUN AWAY from those ingredients. This cream gel is amazing, is neither too watery, nor too creamy, making the texture very light and smooth, just perfect!! It absorbed into my skin right away, no greasiness whatsoever, in a matter of minutes got the dose of moisture and freshness that my combo/dry/sensitive skin needed. It's definitely a must on my skincare routine now that I tried it and made my skin feel so comfortable.

My favourite of the Dr. Belmeur line!

This is my daily driver moisturizer. It's super light, goes on easily, and performs well all day under makeup. I bought a replacement for myself already and bought one for my sister who also suffers from sensitive skin.

My random blemishes and dry patches are mostly gone and I have had zero reactions to these products. I'm not kidding - I bought the whole line and won't stop telling my friends about it.

Guys, the kicker? No testing on animals. I'm converted. I hadn't shopped at the Face Shop or purchased Dr. Belmeur prior to this, but I doubt I'll shop anywhere else after this. The stuff I used to get from the Body Shop is replaced by the Face Shop and my skin is finally calming down!

I read the K beauty tutorial on the Face Shop website and now use the products in the order they are meant to be used. My nightly ritual has become "me time" and I look forward to it. It relaxes me and eases me in to sleep. I highly recommend the entire line without reservation. If anyone with sensitive skin is wondering whether to try the line, go in to the Face Shop and ask questions/try some product samples. You won't regret it.

Nice Day Cream

I used this product and the Cica Recovery Serum as my morning routine for the past month and have already noticed a positive change in my skin's appearance. Moisturizing without feeling sticky and absorbs well into the skin.

I got to try this product for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for an honest review
