Early 30's - Still dealing with acne, now with the added perk of fine lines!
Fitzpatrick I - Very pale. I was born with freckles and I burn very easily. I struggle with PIE not PIH.
Combination skin - Oily nose and U zone.
Sensitive skin - possibly slight rosacea, reddens easily, my barrier is always out of whack.
Acne Prone - hormonal and regular. Cystic acne always on my jawline. Feels like everything breaks me out, and quickly.
There is *something* in western sunscreens that my skin absolutely hates, but I haven't figured it out yet.
Allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide - full body rash.
I'm fairly certain that cetyl alcohol, sulfates, micas, and zinc oxide break me out.
I cant use micellar waters (they break me out too).
My skin can tolerate a LOT of exfoliation, in fact I think it needs it.

I have been a skincare addict since the early 2010s, but have not been following the trends for the last few years. I'm not on any socials. Just doing my own thing.
I am disabled with an autoimmune skin condition, with no income, so I buy new products very rarely, and when I do, I don't want to feel like I've wasted my precious money.

I also like the bare basics, DIYing, and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Loooove this. I want to bathe in it, drink it, and have it's babies.

I probably put on too much, but I don't see a downside besides my wallet. It glides so smoothly and spreads so well over my skin I'm obsessed with how glossy it feels.
And the next morning when I wake up my skin is so happy, so calm, so well moisturized, and so soft, I definitely notice a difference than when I don't use it.
The only thing I didn't like about this product was the packaging. I hate having to dip my fingers in jars. Even if you don't care about the possible contamination, this product has a tendency to always finds its way under fingernails.
But they recently updated the packaging to a squeeze tube! Huzzah! Now there's nothing I don't like about this product!

Edit: After purchasing the new tube packaging...I suspect they may have changed the formula a little bit. The new tube packaging dries a bit faster, and dries with the tiniest feeling of powder. That's the best way I can describe it. Like how some greasier products will use cornstarch to make it not feel so greasy, but you still get this aftertaste of powder film. It's so faint I'm not 100% sure, but I remember the cream in the jar stayed moist and slimey after application longer than this. It could be that it's reacting to something else in my routine, but it does this even on freshly cleansed skin so I don't know. I hope it's not a new formula... I like the slime.
