the aubree ceramide soft cream

once in a blue moon, i'd like to buy a bunch of stuff from underrated local brands just to try their products. i believe that some underrated brands sometimes have a good product that's worth to try. anyway, this time, i bought from the aubree. i actually wanted to buy their products before, but a lot of them were sold out since they were changing the formula of their products. but when i checked again, it was restocked so i bought several stuff from them. i've reviewed their eye cream, so let's see how this one goes.

this is the translated description from their website: a moisturizer that can help repair and treat skin barrier, soften skin texture as well as brighten. ceramide soft cream that can be used any time, along with whatever skin care, and can be applied for all skin types. this moisturizer is very recommended for dry skin types and for those who want to keep skin barrier healthy. 

star ingredients: 6X ceramide, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, alpha bisabolol

the packaging: this comes in a white box with purple combination. there is a short descriptions on the sides as well as the full ingredients list printed on the box. the moisturizer itself comes in a pink glass jar with white screw cap. both the cap and the jar looks like it's double-walled. actually, they provide a tiny spatula but it's not attached to the jar so it's a bit troublesome to keep it around. this moisturizer comes in 30 g which is a normal size for a moisturizer. there's a plastic lid so the moisturizer is perfectly sealed.

the scent: i think this has subtle scent but i can't pinpoint what kind of scent it is.

the product: i think it's the prettiest cream that i've ever tried. it's a pink gel cream that's a bit thick but still easy to spread around. i was a bit worried since i didn't notice that this one contains niacinamide. 

the result: it doesn't take long for this to be absorbed and it leaves a bit of glow afterward. it's hydrating and moisturizing but it's not too heavy. but it does have a kick after being absorbed. it's not like my typical gel cream that might feel like it evaporates once it's absorbed. it layers well with my other skincare products. however, lately i've found out that this one pills later in the day? i don't know what might cause it since i use different products in the morning and afternoon (yep, i live in a super hot and humid country so i take a shower in the afternoon). in the morning, i use vitamin c and sunscreen, while in the afternoon, i use numbuzin serum. both combination pills at the end. however, i don't encounter the same problem earlier. so i can't say what might cause it.

i think this moisturizer is suitable for all skin types even though they say it's targeted for dry skin. i do get it though. it does feel moisturizing so if you have super oily skin, you might want to try a tester if you can find one to see whether it suits you or not. price wise, it's affordable and since it's local brand, i can find it easier here. as for me, i don't think i'll repurchase this one. even though i quite enjoy this one, but this moisturizer falls in between for me. like it's slightly heavier for my day time moisturizer but not rich enough for my night time moisturizer. plus it pills lately, so i'm worried that it might get worse. anyway, if you have dry skin and like pretty skincare product, you should give this one a try.
