azarine had launched three new moisturizers, but i only interested in two. luckily, they sell a bundle of two. however, i made a mistake and accidentally placed two orders instead of one, so i have two each in my stash. i was worried about not being able to finish them, but after trying the first one and realized i could finish them faster than i thought i would, i became confident in finishing them in no time. anyway, i have tried the green one which is targeted for oily skin and more lightweight between the two that i picked (i picked the green and blue one), so now, i will try the blue one. it's supposed to be another similar product to somethinc ceramide or skintific ceramide moisturizer, so let's see this one compares to the other two.
this is the translated description from their website: azarine intense luminous barrier moisturizer is a day-and-night moisturizer that's easy to absorb into the skin to treat skin barrier, makes skin look brighter and also helps even out skin tone.
benefits: glow and deep hydration, brightening multilayer skin hydration and reduces redness, with mosscell tec no.1, strengthen skin barrier against urban aggressors.

| the packaging |
the packaging: it comes in a light blue box with descriptions on the sides and back of the box in indonesian as well as the ingredients list printed on it. the light blue colors also applies to the jar. the jar is a transparent light blue plastic jar with white plastic screw cap. there's a plastic lid inside so the moisturizer doesn't come in contact with the air directly. however, the lid rim doesn't come onto the outer part, so if there's some of the moisturizer line the rim, it will make the lid stuck and hard to pull. there's a white plastic tub inside the jar, so from the outside, the jar looks big, but truthfully, the tub on the inside are way smaller. that's why i can finish it quicker than i thought i would be. it comes in 30 g, which is the usual size for a moisturizer so i don't know whether it is true or not since i finish them quicker.

the scent: there's no distinctive scent from the moisturizer, but i think it's similar to other ceramide moisturizers from other brand.
 |
| the lid and the spatula |
the product: it's a runny white gel type moisturizer. the texture is totally similar to other ceramide moisturizers. however, i think among the three, this one is the runniest. it's just slightly thicker than the green one, so both are easy to absorb. it does leave a bit of glow even until it's absorbed, but no tacky feeling.

| how it looks like |
the result: i can say that right off bat this one is more moisturizing compared to the green one. but it's similar to the other ceramide moisturizers. maybe somethinc one slightly more moisturizing than the other two? okay, that being said, if you have normal to dry skin, you won't have any problem with this one in the morning. however, if you have oily skin, it might take a minute or two for it to sink in. if you don't have much time in the morning, then you should think twice about trying this for your mornings.

i have to say that i have a hard time picking out which one is my favorite out of two. i do like the green one since it's lightweight and quick-absorbing, but it's too lightweight that it can seems to vanish on hot days. however, this one is too much for me in the mornings that i even skip it if i use a hydrating sunscreen. anyway, i think this will suit all skin types, so just adjust the amount according to your need and schedule. anyway, as for me, i like both so i will put both in my repurchase list. price wise, it's very affordable. i can't think how they manage to keep the price down so low. however, you can see that the packaging suffers a lot because of it, so i don't suggest you bring it with you while you're traveling. availability wise, since it's a local brand, it's easy to come across so you won't have hard time finding them.
