cocokind ressurection polypeptide cream

this is probably the last skincare items that i bought from the US that i haven't tried yet. i know i still haven't written anything about naturium moisturizer, or that sunscreen from elf, but i have a lot of night creams in my stash, so i'd better hurry and finish this one. actually, i wanted to try their ceramide serum, but it was sold out, so i decided to try the moisturizer instead. at that time, i didn't have that much in my stash.. but somehow it got out of hand because i purchased some moisturizers that i thought would be okay for daytime but turned out it was too thick to be daytime moisturizer. anyway, let's see how this one goes.

this is the description from their website: this rich cream instantly restores skin's moisture levels and provides increased plumpness. a dreamy cushion-like texture hugs the skin while improving radiance, supporting the skin's natural collagen and helping reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. perfect for dry skin types or those looking for deep hydration seasonally.

ingredients:

- plant-based polypeptide complex : this signal peptide supports the skin's natural collagen which improves skin integrity, firmness and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

- resurrection plant extract: helps restore hydration and teaches skin how to stay resilient and protect itself from damage caused by dehydration

- squalane: helps support the skin barrier while preventing moisture loss, sustainably sourced from sugar cane

- watermelon seed oil: high in natural antioxidants which help protect skin from the signs of aging

benefits: 

- instantly restores moisture levels

- helps improve firmness and elasticity

- helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles

- helps protect from trans-epidermal water loss

the packaging: this comes in a purple box with description on the sides and back of the box as well as the complete ingredients list. i think the box is recyclable. the moisturizer itself comes in a purple glass jar with white plastic screw cap. the jar is quite heavy when it's still full, so i have to be careful not to drop it. there's a bit description on the body as well. there's a foil to seal the jar so the content doesn't come in contact with the air directly. there's no spatula provided. it comes in 30 g so i do hope that i can finish it soon.

the scent: okay, it's fragrance free. but i just hope sometimes they will mask the unpleasant smell from the ingredients so it will more bearable to use the product. as this one, it doesn't smell awful, but it's not pleasant either. it makes me want to slap it and forget it. certainly not enjoyable.

the product: i have to say that the moisturizer has a weird consistency. it looks runny, but when i dip into it, it feels like gel? or like a swamp since i feel like being pulled into it when i dip my finger in it. like it feels like a bit stringy. at first, i thought it might gone bad already since it's bee awhile since i purchased it. but i checked that it's not expired yet. and then i browsed to find out the consistency and it's the same! so i think it's weird just like that.

the result: even though this is runny in the jar, it feels heavy and it leaves streaks on my face if i don't spread it around evenly until being absorbed. like those white cast that you'll get when you put on physical sunscreen on your face.. that's what it looks like if i don't spread it around and massage it until it's absorbed. i've said that it's heavy, and it leaves my skin glowing, so it's definitely moisturizing. quite occlusive since i can feel the remnant of it when i wash my face in the morning. like there's a layer covering my whole face. that ticks two of their promises. as for improving firmness and reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it can only be proven when you use it regularly. 

i think it's a solid moisturizer if you're looking for a moisturizer for your dry skin or something occlusive enough. however, you might not like the consistency, so it might affect the usage. i think this will suit people with dry skin or aging skin more. if you have normal to oily skin, i suggest you to at least try to find tester to see whether you can withstand the consistency or not. price wise, it's supposed to be affordable since it's sold in drugstores, but it isn't available here, so unless you bought it straight from the US, it might not be that affordable anymore if you buy it through preorder shop. as for me, i won't repurchase this moisturizer since it's too heavy for my preference. even for night time.
