Reviews

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)

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)

Best lotion!

"Probably the most hydrating lotion I’ve used! Love that a little goes a long way. I have already noticed a different in my redness and inflammation."

Abigail P. (5/5)

Hydrating Lotion ❤️

"This lotion is velvety smooth! It hydrates without being heavy or greasy! Love how it preps the skin for my makeup! Love 💕"

Anabela S. (5/5)

Worth the money.

"I couldn’t bring myself to purchase because of the price point. I received a free mini with a purchase and when I say this is the best moisturizer I have ever used, it is not an exaggeration. The consistency is top notch. I am not overly moisturized to where it feels sticky, my skin is supple by the time I wake up in the morning. Since being on accutane my skin has been very dry, but with this hydrating lotion, I don’t have to worry about flaking. It layers so well and does not pill up the skincare that is beneath it. Overall, it’s worth the money."

Taylor K. (5/5)

Great daytime lotion - even for oily skin!

"So impressed. Not heavy and no breakouts!"

Janet Q. (5/5)

Hydrating lotion

"I love all the Bareface products. I got the hydration lotion in a kit and absolutely love it. I will never be without it. I have used a lot of lotions but this one is the best for my skin. It is like my skin loves it."

Cynthia C. (5/5)

Need stronger hydration

"I love all the other products, but my skin is becoming a bit dry. At 69, living in a cold winter climate, I need stronger hydration (for mature skin)."

Debra A. (3/5)

Rejuvenating!

"Winter dried out my skin making an uneven skin texture. As soon as I put this back into my routine my skin felt healthier and healed my skin!"

Q&A

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!
