Reviews

Great facial moisturizer

"With sun exposure prominent during the summer I love to have this facial lotion to moisturize my skin. I have active boys and we are outside quite a bit, so having a great option to hydrate my skin without making it oily has been wonderful."

Kimberly M. (5/5)

"Loved the feel and the smell is ok, not bad, ive only used it for oneday, so far love it. Once ive used it longer. I’ll give a more detailed review"

Bianca (5/5)

Not too heavy

"For the price point I was hesitant but my friend told me how good it was so I got a mini. It’s hydrating enough without being too heavy. I am prone to having oilier skin! Great product!"

Margaret F. (5/5)

Hydrating lotion

"I’ve always had a good skin routine but wanted more out of my moisturizer. This lotion feels so good, absorbs well, and makes my skin feel great. I love it smells clean and not heavy with fragrance."

Carolyn C. (5/5)

Need

"LOVE this lotion. I have tried a lot of different products and this is the one I keep coming back to-leaves my skin looking healthy and really helps with winter dryness."

Emma W. (5/5)

Best moisturizer

"I live in hot and humid FL and I swear this is the only lotion that hydrates without leaving my face looking and feeling like a greaseball."

Amanda H. (5/5)

Love Hydrating Lotion

"I use hydrating lotion every morning and evening and I love it. It makes my skin feel like I’m locking in all the other products I’ve put on before it and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. It did wonders for me in the winter when the air was so dry!"

Cassidy J. (5/5)

Love the consistency of this

"Love the consistency of this facial moisturizer. It’s creamy and a little goes a long way."

Kristin D. (5/5)

Extra Hydration

"I enjoy this product. I use it at night after my retinol to lock in moisture as an extra slug before my moisturizer. I have oily skin, so it's nice to have it when I need it. Doesn't leave me feeling sticky or too shiny."

Jennifer C. (5/5)

"Leaves my skin hydrated and smooth."

Q&A

When using this moisturizer at night along with a facial oil, would it be best to apply the moisturizer first and then the oil or mix the two together and then apply? Thank you.
Hi Misty! We love mixing a few drops of the Perfectionist Oil in with the Hydrating Lotion for extra hydration. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com.
Is this product non-comedigenic and/or hypoallergenic?
There’s a much longer explanation about this as the comedogenic scale is a bit misleading in the sense that doesn’t test real world conditions (most tests have been done on rabbit ears or patient’s backs - both of which have larger pores and don’t represent facial skin) and it tested single ingredients at high percentages. Just like all ingredients, dosing is everything. Even if an ingredient alone is comedogenic it does not mean that the product itself will be. “Substances that are strongly comedogenic when tested by itself or in high concentrations become non-comedogenic after sufficient dilution.” – Kligman (the creator of the comedogenic scale). Coconut alkane as a raw material on it’s own it’s own is considered comedogenic, however the raw material in the formulation is at a very low percentage. Just because a raw material is comedogenic on it’s own doesn’t mean the product will be comedogenic just like a non-comedogenic raw materials/products can still be comedogenic on the skin. So many variables involved with comedogenincy, which is why formulations and your full routine are very important.
How long does the moisturizer last if you’re using 2 pumps morning and evening? Is this a month supply?
If using the recommended amount twice daily on your face, neck and chest, the product should last around 3 months. Everyone is a bit different depending on how frequently and how heavy handed you are with product usage. We recommend keeping track of the date when you started using your products and that way you know an “exact” date you will potentially need more so you never run out!
Is the Hydration Lotion good for very oily skin types? If not, is there another product you would recommend?
Hi Kristina! We formulated Hydrating Lotion with all skin types in mind - including oily skin! It is considered oil-free. We have many customers and even members on our team who have oily skin and use Hydrating Lotion daily with no problem. Please feel free to email us (hello@barefaced.com) makeup free photos so we can provide further recommendations!
