Super C Face Cream

This cream is all wrong for my skin type, but I'm still giving it a 5-star review and here's why: 1) The cream itself is great quality: it has healthy ingredients, is a nice texture, goes on smoothly and without making my face feel greasy. It's just very lightweight, which would be great for someone with oily/combination skin and/or during the summer months, but isn't enough for my very dry skin in the winter. 2) The company is a small business, which I prefer to support over the big guys, and their products are of great quality. I also ordered the vitamin c serum and that has been a godsend for my dry, uneven skin. In just two weeks it's made my skin noticeably smoother, softer, more even, and has diminished my undereye puffiness like you wouldn't believe. These guys make fantastic products! 3) The customer service at this company is AMAZING. When you order, they send you a thank-you email with detailed information on how to use the product and info on how to contact their customer service department directly. After you've had the product for a week or two, they send a follow up to see how things are going. (This level of engagement might sound obnoxious to some-myself included-but I promise it's not pushy, but rather is done in a really unobtrusive and helpful way.) The really exceptional part is that when I wrote back to say that this cream wasn't right for my skin type, their customer service rep contacted me in less than 24 hours and offered to send me a jar of their eye cream, which is heavier and apparently used by many of their customers as an all-over face cream, completely free. I get the impression that they don't want to just make a quick buck, but want to make sure that you have exactly the right skin care regimen for your individual skin type--they're goal is clearly to create longterm, loyal customers. This is some old school customer service, in the BEST way!

I am 33, had a baby right before I turned 31, prior to that I had cystic type acne all my life that I never grew out of, then got acne in places I never had it before when I was pregnant, and let's face it: growing a baby does stuff to your body, some stuff you never come back from, and I stayed pretty hormonally imbalanced for a long time. I'm very fair skinned, and every pimple (popped or unpopped) left a lasting pink scar on my face, requiring concealer months long after it's official departure. A reminder of the pimple that had been/had almost been that needed to be hidden as more approached. I'd used the classic proactiv with the best results for years and years, and went right back to that with the same results of "it's not 100%, but it's better than everything else." And on top of it, I have always had an incredibly oily face and scalp. My mother first suggested something with hyaluronic acid, and that was becoming increasingly popular while I was pregnant and was not supposed to use it, so I didn't give it another thought. But with my boy about to be turning 2, and my skin still so confused, I figured I'd give it a shot. I read outstanding reviews of this stuff, and figured I'd give it a shot. I got the serum, and the hyaluronic acid moisturizer, and got the regular face cream and eye cream in case my skin got dry. I just read a bunch of people talking about how the first week or two you use it, it can cause dryness and some peeling, so I figured I should have some of the basic stuff, too. I don't know if it's just that my skin was used to the harshness of benzoyl peroxide on the regular, or that I'm SO greasy, but I didn't experience any of the dryness, redness, or irritation that a lot of people report the first couple weeks. And I really went balls to the wall with this, and cut the proactiv out completely. Scary prospect for me. But no joke, just using the serum and the hyaluronic acid moisturizer every day, within a few days my skin calmed down a massive amount. The moisturizer is a little on the heavy side (although I used it pretty liberally) and is a little heavy for use under makeup if you're heavy handed like me, but I'd still put some on, let it soak in awhile, and just wipe my face down real quick with a cleansing cloth, and it was all good. By the end of the first week, I'd had no new pimples, and noticed dramatic lightening in the marks from old pimples, along with a generally more even skin tone, and my face felt smoother, softer, calmer, and looked it, too. I have not turned back. The best part is that my skin is also not as greasy as it was before, and I have FINALLY found a moisturizer that doesn't make me break out worse. And my skin just soaks up that serum, and that stuff is AMAZING.

My skin tended to not get along with this product. My breakouts got slightly worse, but I do have quite finnicky skin. The moisturization-factor is average. The product does separate, but it's nothing a quick stir with your finger won't fix. The scent is light and natural, which I really like. This is my second product purchased from LilyAna and I will probably try a third, just because I like that they seem to take pride in their products and genuinely care about their customer's satisfaction. **Update**(6/4/16) I received a surprise package in the mail from LilyAna just a few weeks ago. The enclosed note said that I must have received one of the last few shipments of the old formulation (the review above). This new formulation is much creamier and requires no stirring prior to application. It is a little lighter feeling and soaks in nicely. I don't seem to be breaking out as badly, so I'll keep my fingers crossed it states that way! LilyAna, thank you for caring so much about your customers. It was such a sweet surprise to receive the revamped formulation. I've said it before and I'll say it again, that is the main reason for my continuing to purchase products from this company. Keep up the good work!

My favorite face lotion, my face feels so moisturized and soft but not oily. I’ve been using it for about a year now.

Let me start by saying that I have used a LOT of creams/lotions/serums, etc. over the years. At 34 and with oily/combination/blemish prone skin I'm very picky about what I put on my face. I need something thoroughly moisturizing because my skin can get extremely dry and I also want to minimize the progression of wrinkles and aging, but it can't be too oily/heavy or cause me to break out. That's sometimes a hard combo to find. While I've discovered a handful of products that I do love, this face cream is truly and honestly my favorite -- EVER! I had been eyeing it on Amazon for awhile and finally decided to splurge on myself one day. I'm so glad I did! Here's a breakdown... TEXTURE/CONSITENCY -- Not only is the packaging adorable, but the cream feels divine... rich, smooth, and creamy, but not at all greasy or oily. It's not as thick as a body butter, but a little richer than some facial lotions. I also use this as my all-over eye cream and it's great for that purpose as well (just don't accidently get any in the corner of your eye... ouch... trust me). It's rich enough to give that delicate area the moisture it needs, but without interfering with makeup application or causing my eyeliner or mascara to smudge as the day wears on. Another one of my very favorite things about this cream is that it doesn't "pile" or roll off after application. One of my biggest beauty product pet peeves is when a product just sits on top of your skin after it dries and then if you touch your face or try to apply something else it balls up and rolls off. This cream doesn't do that at all, even when I apply another product underneath or on top. SCENT -- It really has no scent to speak of, perhaps just an ever so faint "natural" smell that is barely detectable, so it definitely won't clash with your signature scent or other products you might wear. ABSORBTION -- One of the things that amazes me most about this cream is how lightning fast it absorbs! I mean, it's seriously fast! You can apply makeup virtually immediately after applying it, no waiting around. It also plays nicely with other products, meaning you can add some of your own favorite essential oils or mix it with your serums, etc., without any weird consistency issues. It moisturizes incredibly well, but with absolutely zero greasy feel or shine. My face feels SO silky smooth after I apply it... so much so that I find myself touching my face to just enjoy how soft it feels. :) You can tell it really absorbs in and feeds your skin. PACKAGING -- A quick note on the packaging... when I purchased this it came in a 2.1 oz jar. Upon leaving this review I noticed the packaging has recently changed to a 1.7 oz bottle (I believe the price is still the same). Nonetheless, it is still well worth it and I will definitely be purchasing more when I run out! A little goes a long way and my 2.1 oz jar is still about half full even after over a month of use, so I think the price is fair for the quality you get.

UPDATE: So I hot the eye cream because I wasn't crazy about the face cream and I can definitely say I like the eye cream better. I'm adding it here because it was gifted by LilyAna & they really do have superior customer service! If you want something more moisturizing order this instead of the face cream💙, Okay, so I ordered this face cream, plus the Retinol and Vit. C serum. I haven't reviewed the others but so far I really like the retinol and love the vit. C serum but want to give it more time to use (only been 3 days) to review results. As for the cream, I could give it more time but I don't think it's going to work for me for the following reasons: 1. It goes on matte and doesn't make my face look dewy at all - at 48, unrealistically perhaps, I want dewy darn it! :-) Some might read this to mean I like to look greasy (so be it) I was using Loreal Hydra Renewal before which made my skin look great ($6 btw on Amazon Prime!) but I decided I wanted NO chemicals so I researched these and found they fit the bill PLUS great reviews. While I still think LilyAna Naturals is a GREAT company. I would ask them to either update the description of the cream or get one that has more of a moisturizing effect. 2. Also? I would like to see the creams (including Retinol) in a a jar and not a pump. Reason being, you can scrape a jar and get the last dregs out of it. How do I get the last remnants of cream out of a pump? Perhaps cut into the pump? Ha...watch me try. I love that the serum is in a glass bottle - I feel I can totally use all of it up! All that said: I DO think this cream is a good quality cream and I will keep it in the fridge because I think it's so natural that it needs to be refrigerated plus it feels better going on. I will NOT reorder this again. I may reorder the Retinol and Vit. C. I have just splurged and ordered some stuff form Riversol (a Canadian dermatologist who came up with a fairly natural skin line) because I got a free sample from them and liked their products. Bottom line? If you like a matte finish and have already oily skin? This product might work for you. If you're over 30, prone to med/dry skin and like a very natural look and or dewey/kind of almost shiny (I don't wear foundation) this may not be it for you. Good luck, I think the company is great and will review the Retinol and Vit. C serum in a few weeks once I see results (I hope :-)). Kat

This is a really great face cream for anyone who deals with acne and/or dry skin. The benefits of rose is amazing and I found this out years ago. I've tried many face products that contain natural rose and decided to give this a try after seeing it in my lightning deals. When I received my package everything was in tact and I had no separation in my product (not that I was worried). If you read the description of this product it does state it may desperate because it is natural and all you do is have to stir it up. The products color is white. The cream is light and has a natural floral scent. It absorbed into my skin quickly and did not leave an oily feel. I'm very excited this came across my deals. :) UPDATE: I've been using this cream for almost a week in the morning and before bed and I wanted to let others know how it is working for me. I do suffer from adult acne and on top of that my skin is very sensitive. In the past trying to find the right cleanser and moisturizer my skin would sometimes break out very badly or get sores that were not acne related but irritation from the product. I have a scar that is very deep on my chin from one of the high end products I tried. Since I started using this I've noticed the complexion of my skin is looking more even and my skin is clearing up. Blackheads have always been very troublesome for me and this has been helping me with those as well. I swear by this face cream and hope that someone with my same issues can give this a try and find some relief.

This has been my go-to daily moisturizer for 8-9 years and it keeps my skin plump and soft without ever feeling greasy. I also appreciate that the scent is very light. However, the latest batch I've received seems to have a new formula that still works well, but it's thicker and noticeably white. I have to stand in front of the mirror and work it in to make sure it doesn't leave any white streaks, and that didn't use to be the case. I have pale skin, but if you have a darker skin tone it might leave a white cast. It's not a major issue for me, more of an annoyance, but I hope the manufacturer changes back to the previous formula.
