SKINLONGEVITY® Hydration Haven Gel Cream

I've been using this for awhile and I liked it, which is why I keep coming back. My last order, 7/2026, is just wrong. It smells different (bad but I don't think rancid) and it is soooo thin and watery. It has lost all of the thickness it used to have. Anyway, just my experience. For something so expensive I think I'll move on to another product/company after this. I think they're cutting corners now. Caveat emptor.

I am so excited to have discovered this cream. I was using a non-gel one from bare minerals for a long time, but it always felt a little oily in the morning and I didn’t like the smell. This one feels so nice and smooth as a gel, the scent is mild, neutral, and nice, and it feels so crisp and clean to put on after washing my face. It doesn’t feel oily the next day or later in the day either, and yet at the same time, my skin feels nicely hydrated. I would love to see an ice cream version of this come out at some point. A little goes a long way so you don’t have to use a lot to get full coverage for your face which is also a plus. I can’t recommend this enough, I get excited to use it after a long day as part of my evening, skin care routine!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion). The Bareminerals Skinlongevity gel cream is a lovely, hydrating gel moisturizer. It has a nice light texture with a slight herb-like scent that is refreshing. It easily blends into my skin and my skin feels moisturized all day. It also works with many of my foundations so there's no risk of pilling. I like that it has zinc, niacinamide, and ceramides to repair and support my skin. The packaging is sturdy and luxurious. I can definitely see myself purchasing this product and recommending it to others.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion). I had high hopes for this hydration cream because I love bare minerals products, but I didn't care for this cream at all. The formula is very sticky and heavy on the skin. It doesn't soak in at all and feels like it leaves a heavy film-like texture on the skin. I tried this several times and ended up washing my face again and using a different moisturizer I prefer. I am pretty open to new moisturizers on my skin, but this was the worst I've tried. I actually prefer gel creams over heavier moisturizers as they feel better on my skin, but this had an odd sticky heavy weight to it. I ended up throwing away the jar after only a couple uses because I couldn't stand it on my skin. Very disappointed in this. product.
