    Satin skin

    I've been using the elasticity reinforcing hydra cream from Sweet Chemistry for about a month now and I'm impressed with the results. There is no scent other than a light herbal aroma and it is very easy to apply. The texture of the cream is light and absorbs quickly into my skin. The peptides in this formula have truly penetrated my skin making it feel softer and appear much more hydrated. I am over fifty and my skin has dry patches, redness caused by hormone shifts, and an occasional blemish. This hydra cream is the perfect consistency for my skin and also extremely gentle. I've found the perfect balance of moisture since adding this product to my daily skincare routine. This product would be a wonderful addition for anyone who needs a light moisturizer that also delivers deep hydration.

    So hydrating.

    I’ve been using the Sweet Chemistry O2 Hydration Elasticity Reinforcing Hydra-Cream for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. It feels super light on my skin but still gives great hydration. I have combination/oily skin, and this cream doesn’t make me greasy at all it just leaves my skin soft and smooth. IWhat really stands out to me is how much healthier and firmer my skin looks. I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in elasticity and smoothness since I started using it. I also love that it’s fragrance-free and made with natural ingredients. The pump bottle is easy to use and keeps everything clean. I believe overall, this moisturizer feels high quality and worth the price. I just want to point out I have never used this line before and I’m truly impressed and definitely will be switching most of my skincare to this line.

    Holy Grail

    I have been using the Sweet Chemistry Elasticity Reinforcing Hydra-Cream for a month now and absolutely love it. It’s an amazing product! With more mature and damaged skin, this has helped me more than any other products I have tried. I love using this in my night time routine because it doesn’t feel greasy, but moisturizes so well. There isn’t much of a smell, which is appreciated before going to bed. This is the first time I am trying the brand Sweet Chemistry and won’t be my last! I have been able to tell a significant difference, and noticed that pretty quickly. The bottle is nice and easy to use. The cream is nice and thick without leaving the sticky feeling. I would highly recommend this hydra-cream to those who have the dry-oily skin combo.

    New must have for my aging skin

    Been using the Sweet Chemistry Elasticity Reinforcing Hydra-Cream 02 for a month now, and I can actually see an improvement in my skin. This is the one for dry to combo skin which is what skin is. Now to give some context, after losing 85 pounds over the last year and half, and being in my early 40s my skin isn’t what it used to be. It’s saggy and loose and I’ve had what I call a chicken gobble thing going on where I used to have a double chin. I feel like my chicken gobble has improved over the last month from this stuff, and it has overall given my skin more tightness without dryness. It feels great going on as well, I’ve had some products I’ve tried leaves a sticky residue, or leaves a stickiness on my hands to where I have to wash them after putting it on my face, this stuff I don’t have to do any of that, in fact I actually use any excess on the back of my hands and it’s improved the wrinkles there as well. I don’t know if there’s a decrease in the fine lines on my face but fact I can feel a difference in the sag of my skin is worth it alone! Overall a great product, that I will keep using! I also love the fact it’s very gentle on my skin and it’s not a harsh product and doesn’t burn or anything like that!

    Elasticity reinforcing hydra cream

    I was so happy and excited to be able to try this out. I was really trying to find something that worked for the heat under makeup. I started using thing a month ago everyday in the morning under makeup. Its an off white color with a very faint smell of nothing really. It seems really creamy and thick and almost greasy at first I was like I'm not going to like this. But 10 mins later when I went in with my makeup I was so impressed my skin felt like satin and was hydrated and plump I had no issues with drying out and I am a dry girly. They say this is for more combo oily but it's been working so well for me. At night I like to use something really thick. This stuff doesn't pill even if you fell like it was to much it sinks into the skin so well you can't even feel it but I can not believe I don't dry out during the day. I highly recommend.
