Frezyderm Moisturizing 24H Hydrating Cream Review.

I decided to start doing reviews of products that I love more frequently because it seems that I always forget to mention them, even though I include them in my monthly favourites I think they deserve a  seperate and more in depth review post! Frezyderm's moisturizer has been my HG moisturizer for almost six months now, so I think it was about time to write a review about it.

 Packaging

It comes in the most bizzare packaging for a moisturizer that I've ever seen before, it's a plastic "chemist" test tube that closes into a hard plastic tube with a pump, honestly it's so confusing. I have to say that the packaging is not one of my favourites, it's very heavy and not travel friendly at all, and I've had problems with the pump quite a few times. I understand the whole "pharmacy" look they want to give to their products but they could also consider if the packaging is practical or not for everyday use, I would prefer a simple tube packaging over the one they have right now.

Texture

They say not to judge a product from the packaging, and even though I really dislike the packaging I will have to agree with that, because the actual product is superb! It has a milky consistency, that absorbs into the skin easily. It doesn't leave an oily residue to my skin , I'm not so sure that you will like it if you have a very oily skintype, but if you have more of a combination to oily one it will suit you really well. I need to mention that it never broke me out, which is very important to me because I have a very acne prone skin and most moisturizers do tend to break me out.
It's also really good under make up, again not so good if you have very oily skin, but I prefer this moisturizer for under my make up, because I used to apply gel textured moisturizers underneath foundation and they never really helped with the dry patches on my face. It claims that it gives a 24H hydration, I don't think it does that, especially if you cleanse your face twice a day you will need to apply moisturizer also twice a day, but it definitely lasts for 12 hours. I noticed that it hydrates even better than my Burt's Bees Sensitive Night Cream, so in my opinion you can use this moisturizer for day and night with no problem!

Price 

Frezyderm is a greek pharmacy brand, that unfortunately you can only find in Greece, it retails for 23 euros in pharmacies and Hondos Center stores. But if you buy it through an online pharmacy you can find it with 25 or even 40% off.


Pros
- Perfect for combination skintypes, hydrates really well without leaving an oily residue, and absorbs quickly into the skin.

-It has a light and pleasant smell.

-Perfect for underneath the foundation, it helps with the dry patches.

-Never caused me any break outs, and I have acne prone skin.

Cons
-The main problem I have with this moisturizer is the packaging and the problematic pump. The packaging is way too complicated and heavy for no reason.

-The price. In my opinion the price is way too high for a simple pharmacy moisturizer, even though it's better than most of the pharmacy moisturizers that I've tried, it's still too high.



Rating: 9/10
Besides the two negative parts, the packaging and the price, this is an excellent moisturizer that I've purchased twice within 6 months and I will continue repurchasing it in the future. I like to try new skincare products all the time, but I'm happy that I finally found a moisturizer that I will always come back to.
