somethinc ceramide skin saviour moisturizing gel

i've been curious about somethinc moisturizer for quite some time but i keep postponing to get it because i'm afraid that it'll be too thick considering it contains ceramide, which is usually main ingredients that brands use for dry skin. so when they launched the supple one and there's various sizes for both types, i decided to try the smaller size to decide which i like better. i've tried the supple one, and i love it (read it here if you're interested), so let's see how it goes with this one. 

this is the description on their website: hydrate, revive, strengthen, and get your #ceramicskin! gel moisturizer with 9 powerful clean supercharged ingredients that's proven clinically to hydrate, freshen and strengthen skin. enriched with hydrolyzed marine collagen, which is collagen type 1 from other types of collagen. hydrolyzed marine collagen can absorb 1,5 times faster and easier from other collagen. feel 24 hours moisture to get back healthy skin barrier and youthful look. #myskinsaviour
ingredients: hydrolyzed marine collagen, matrixyl 3000 (glycerin, water, butylene glycol, carbomer, polysorbate 20, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7), palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, ceramide NP, miniha (hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate), betaine, hydrolyzed algae extract (seaweed), niacinamide, oat, caffeine

the packaging: this one doesn't come in any boxes. there are three sizes of this moisturizer, the big one is 50 ml, the medium size one is 25 ml and the sample size is 5 ml. i bought the medium size one, 25 ml so it comes in blue plastic squeeze tube with grey plastic screw cap. there's description on the tube as well as the ingredients list but it's printed in tiny fonts, so i don't bother reading it. they only seal it with plastic to seal the tube. the bigger size actually comes in big tub but with a pump system which is really cool for a local brand. anyway, it has spout to dispense the product so it's mess free. i have to give credit for somethinc for their packaging. aside from the multipeptide one, i don't think i ever complain of their packaging.

the scent: since my other product is scented, somehow it messes with my nose. i don't think this one is scented, but i might be mistaken. it might have subtle scent that my nose can't pick up. but, there's no added fragrance in the ingredients list, so it might be scentless. 
look at the tiny fonts!
the product: it's a snow white gel type cream. it's thicker than the supple one. actually the reason why i hesitated for picking one between the two was the texture. i can see from the picture and from influencer's reviews that this one is thicker, but somethinc advised this one for oily skin type, which is confusing for me. if i only saw the picture, i will guess that the supple one is targeted for oily skin type and this one for dry skin type. but somethinc recommended this one for combi to oily skin and supple for dry and dehydrated skin. for me personally, i think the supple one is more suitable for oily skin and this one for dry and combi skin, but again, it's just a matter of preference. this one also spreads around easily, melts into watery traces and takes a few seconds to be absorbed and give subtle glow to my skin.

the result: this one definitely feels more moisturizing compared to the supple one. the supple one leans toward hydrating rather than moisturizing. however, this one is still lightweight compared to hale one.

i have to say that i like both. but if i have to be picky, i like the supple one for hotter days as it's super lightweight like elsheskin one, but i don't mind using this over rainy days. this feels similar to true to skin one. so as for now, i have four new favorites in gel moisturizer category. i really can't decide it for you. you have to try it yourself which one you like better. you can see and guess from the texture and decide it for yourself which one suits your skin. as for me, i will rotate the four if i ever run out of products to try. but it seems impossible. even somethinc is about to release two more moisturizers tomorrow (by the time this post goes online, they would already released them). i have my eye on the retinol cream one, so let's see if i could buy it separately and not in bundle. anyway, price wise, it's affordable since there are three sizes to choose from, so pick one for your need and budget.
