solid face cream in a tube [SEP] first the solid cream is solid at first application i tried just putting it on my face directly from the tube and stopped almost immediately because i did not want to tug at my skin instead i did the bar method of application by using my fingers on the top to warm it and then tapped it onto my skin the next morning i let it sit on my cheek an extra moment and was apply to seamlessly apply with little to no tuggingit is a a balm texture from the tube but then melts into an almost oil cream while i find it takes a little for the oils to fully settle onto the skin once they do i do not find it to be greasy or heavyi put this under my spf in the morning like a serum and it does not pill or bunch up or affect my sunscreen or makeup application afterat night it is just the right amount of moisture to keep my skin happy and balanced i have not had any break outs there is no noticeable scent neither on opening applying or after wearingif you are new to solid face creams serums etc give this a little time to find the right balance of how much how longthe price for the amount is a great value and i really like the brands ecologically sound stance i have been a fan of their haircare and am happy to branch out into the skin and face care
