REVIEW- Gabriel organic's Red Seaweed Cellular Moisturizer and good news
HELOOOO...Its been ages I know, but was caught up with life and I have some very exciting news to share. I may be revealing this for the first time but I am a doctor and I finished my med school and came to the US, and now I am starting my residency in Internal medicine in June. So was really caught up in paperwork and visitors and family.
As you guys know from my previous posts, I have very oily acne prone skin and I have been searching high and low for a moisturizer that wudnt break me out and at last, after using this one since January I can confidently say that its not doing me any harm, It keeps my skin moisturized and I do not have a greasy face during the day.
The product I want to rave about is the Gabriel organics Red Seaweed Cellular Moisturizer. Its from the oily overactive range of products.
The description on the box is
A weightless, non-oily moisturizer for skin that tends to clog and breakout from conventional moisturizers. Red seaweed provides an antibacterial and balancing effect on skin, while extracts of green tea and tea tree offer healing benefits and regulate oil production. The result is a fresh, healthy complexion with a velvety, matte appearance
I was impressed with the ingredient list too- Key ingredients are Red seaweed, tea tree and green tea
Aloe, witch hazel extract, glycerin, glycine soja (soyabean) sterols, red seaweed extract, cinnamomum extract, rosemary leaf extract, soy protein ferment, horsetail extract, olive fruit extract, sodium hyaluronate, aloe leaf extract, green tea leaf extract, tea tree leaf, gotu kola extract, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, lavender flower extract, lemon peel extract, ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid, citric acid
My opinion-
I have been using this for 5 months now and I am on my second tube, it comes as a 2 oz package which retails for around 26 dollars.
It is a fragrance free lotion type of consistency, not too watery but not too thick, it glides on smooth on the skin and is absorbed instantly.
I must admit it Im HOOKED! I already suffer from acne prone sensitive skin and most of the moisturizers break me out but not this one. It calms soothes and moisturizes. I also feel it makes a good base for makeup too. I have been using this twice a day everyday and have not had any unpleasant effects so far so fingers crossed :)
Has anyone else tried this product? Any reviews? I have been using the foundation and powder from zuzu luxe which is the same company and have been loving it too....

REVIEW - Mychelle Pumpkin renew cream (unscented)
Hey lovely beauties out there,
As you know I was trying out the mychelle skin care line, I was using the fruit enzyme cleanser and perfect C serum and was very pleased with the line, so I decided I needed to try their moisturizer too...I had a sample from a kit I had purchased a year ago, I tried the pumpkin renew cream coz of all the raving reviews from makeupalley. The sample I tried was ok, not great. felt a little too rich for my skin, but made it baby soft...
To be sure whether I should order the pumpkin renew cream or the oil free grapefruit cream, I had a skin care consultation done by mychelle and they recommended the pumpkin renew cream and I chose to purchase the unscented version coz my husband hated the smell of the scented version, he said I smelt like an old lady :)
I received my package on 24th of December and used very little of the cream am and pm. Its a light green coloured cream, feels heavy to touch and it took a long time to sink into my skin. Throughout the day however, I felt it was keeping my shine at check and was really making my skin super soft...but within 2 days I developed huge cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. I was devastated coz I had worked really hard to try and clear up my skin prior to this.....
I stopped using the cream on the 4th day and no more new zits appeared.
All the ingredients in the cream sound very good, but I dont why I had such a reaction, Im not sure if it was just purging or what...I called the mychelle aesthetician again and she said it could be that the cream is purging all the toxins from my skin...but I just could not have a new painful cystic pimple pop up everyday and spoil my face....So I havent used the cream after that..
Has anyone out there had a similar reaction? I had high hopes on this cream :(
Verdict on the pumpkin renew cream-
Pros-
Makes your skin feel baby soft
Balances out the skin so that it dosent produce lotta oil
Safe no toxic ingredients
Cons-
May be a bit too rich for oily and acne prone skin
Caused very bad acne for me! :(
I have been using the zuzu luxe oil free foundation and have been enjoying that and when I went to whole foods to purchase this product I happened to get a few samples of the gabriel skin care line. I have been trying the cream from the oily and overactive skin range....and so far am very impressed with this cream...Will do a full updated review after I have used this cream for at least a couple of weeks....
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
xoxo
