Review: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

You might recognize this First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream from a skincare haul I posted not too long ago. Now that I've had a reasonable amount of time to test the product, I figured I'd do a quick review for you all. I bought this moisturizer from Sephora mainly to see if it would help with my dry face, but I have also been using it on my elbows and knees when I have been feeling a little rough.

It says on the bottle "Hydrate dry, parched skin. Relieve minor irritation and itching due to eczema and other conditions. For the face and elsewhere", and it contains no parabens, harsh chemicals or colorants. All of these claims were super appealing to me, and I had really high hopes. Unfortunately, I just wasn't impressed. When applied to my face, the moisturizer left a greasy residue. I could only use this as a night time moisturizer. If applied in the morning under my makeup, my face would get oily in under an hour. As far as moisturizing? It did a little. I never felt like it actually absorbed into my skin. No miracles, no drastic improvements. It worked best on my body, and did little for my face. I will use up the product until the bottle is empty, but I won't be repurchasing for now. At $12, it doesn't really cost more than the average drugstore moisturizer.However, I have found that those $8-$10 drugstore moisturizers have given me a lot better results. My hunt for the perfect moisturizer continues.

Have you ever tried this moisturizer? Whats your favorite moisturizer?
