HERBIVORE Moon Fruit 1% Bakuchiol + Superfruits Retinol Alternative Sleep Mask Cream - Anti Aging Mask Cream Moisturizes & Smooths Wrinkles Overnight, Plant-based, Vegan, Cruelty-free, 50mL / 1.7oz

This product works awesome for my skin. I am 54 and people think I’m still in my 30’s. So I don’t have any wrinkles or sagging/jowls skin. My skin is fair and I can get redness around my nose area. I live in AZ so it gets very dry. I’ve had a hard time using actives on my skin and keeping a healthy skin barrier at the same time. . This retinol alternative has become my best friend. I use the serum too. I also mix the cream with a few drops of the Herbivore Orchid oil,Emerald oil or Phoenix oil. Totally amps up the hydration for me!!

I have extremely sensitive skin and struggled with cystic acne on my cheeks since I was about 16 years old. Now that I'm in my 20s, I'm old enough to use retinol, but my skin gets flaky and dry extremely easily with regular application. This cream has a nice, slight exfoliating effect when my skin needs a break from harsher chemicals. It's super moisturizing and gentle. You can also use it in the mornings and at night, as well as mix it with vitamin C, unlike most retinoids.

This New! Herbivore Botanicals Moon Fruit Retinol Alternative Sleep Mask is not my first experience with the brand, I have purchased quite a few of there products over the last few years and have mostly been very happy with there products.And this Retinol Alternative Sleep Mask is no different! The formula is a bit thicker than I was expecting but not in a bad way. It spreads on your skin like a dream and feels very moisturizing on your skin. It doesn’t feel heavy per se, but you can feel it on your skin if that’ makes sense.The only thing that I can complain about, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is due to the fact that this mask will pill up with a lot of other skincare I use. Pilling drives be absolutely nuts, though some people are not bothered by this. Other than that though this is a really nice sleeping mask and I would recommend it!

This comes securely packaged in a white and lavender box. The product itself is in a gorgeous transparent lavender glass tub with tasteful minimalist labeling and white plastic lid. The packaging feels very upscale and is in line with the higher price tag.So, how does this mask perform? For reference, I have quite dry skin that worsens in the colder/dryer months. Living in the high desert certainly doesn't help! Herbivore Botanicals claims that you'll wake up to hydrated skin after using this - and I did!I have added this night mask to my evening skincare routine, after cleaning and moisturizing and then rinse it off in the morning (as Herbivore Botanicals recommends). The mask has the same beautiful lavender color as the jar. It has a gel-like consistency. It has a very subtle fruity scent. It feels cooling and applies nicely. It feels very moisturizing and leaves a nice layer on the skin. When I wake up my skin feels plump and nourished.This Moon Fruit Retinol Alternative Sleep Mask is pricey but effective. I recommend it if you have similar skincare concerns.
