Product review: Joanna Vargas Daily Hydrating Cream

Finding the perfect hydrating cream just got a little easier! Meet my new obsession: Joanna Vargas’ Daily Hydrating Cream.

Name this product:

Joanna Vargas Daily Hydrating Cream. (joannavargas.com, $75) 

How this product looks and feels:

This product is light and creamy, not at all pasty and heavy like some face creams. It melts nicely into skin yet doesn’t leave your skin feeling strapped for air.

What I liked about this product:

I liked the texture a lot! I’ve tried countless lotions and creams over the years, and not many can combine the hydration and light texture of this cream.

What I would change about this product:

I have yet to find an issue with this product!

Describe the application process, how often you used the product and for how long:

I have been using this cream for several months now as a night cream. I burn easily, so I prefer to use a product with a high SPF during the day, and then at night I turn to this moisturizing wonder. I only use a small amount — it’s strong enough without needing too much product — and rub all over my face.

Describe what you liked or didn’t like about the application process:

I liked the fact that my skin immediately felt soft and moisturized after applying this cream. A lot of times I can’t find a cream that truly leaves my skin feeling satisfied, so this was a nice surprise.

Describe the results you’ve noticed over the past couple of months: 

Used in conjunction with Joanna’s exfoliating masque and my monthly facials, I’ve noticed a big difference in my skin. It seems brighter and less dehydrated, both of which are huge improvements.

I would recommend this product for: 

Women with combo skin like mine. It’s light enough so that your pores don’t feel suffocated, but it also offers a great amount of moisture, leaving skin feeling soft.

How I felt about the scent of this product:

Every time I start using a new skin care product, I seem to not like the scent. I think it’s because I test so many that I never truly get used to the new scent. But with this cream, it only took me a few days to come to love the smell! It did take a few days, but now I enjoy the light scent, and it’s the only night cream I use.

Additional comments:

This cream is a bit pricey, but it’s definitely worth it. You get a lot of product for the price, and it will last you for months.
