Pacifica Night Face Cream - Vegan Collagen Overnight Recovery Cream, Nighttime Face Cream for Anti-Aging & Wrinkles, Improves Dry Skin & Redness Vegan, Clean Beauty, Dermatologist Tested

For those who like to seal in post face-wash moisture - this PETA-approved “gel” is great. Light scented liquid goes on fast and evenly. A little goes a long way. Not gooey or sticky. Good for dry weather and/or dry skin. Saw some comments about this not really a moisturizer - agreed and I don’t believe it’s meant to be used as a one and only skin cream. Again, great as the under coat for your normal moisturizer.

I want to start by saying this is a liquid moisturizer, not a gel. That part is false advertising. However, everything else about it lives up to expectations. As soon as you open the jar, it smells like a delectable fruity dessert. I apply it by dipping a couple of fingers into the jar, then massaging it generously onto my face. The trick is to use what you think is more than you need, because your skin will absorb most of it. It's very lightweight and leaves my skin feeling soft and looking glowing. This is a good quality moisturizer and a good value for the money that you're paying for it. I also appreciate that this brand has compassion standards by being vegan and cruelty free. For reference, I was using the Florence by Mills Dreamy Dew moisturizer before, and I still think that one is better, but this one costs less than half of that so I'll probably get this one for now to save some money.

I’ve used this for about a year now and it’s become a staple in my nighttime routine along with the future youth serum. I used to use a First Aide Beauty cream which is also great but this one’s a fraction of the price, it’s super hydrating and leaves my skin feeling amazing! Highly recommend.

The price point for this was excellent so I purchased without extreme expectations. It goes on smoothly and I woke up with very soft and moisturized skin. Too early to say if it’ll do wonders for my face this winter but so far so good.

Pushing 40, I already realized that I needed a more intensive skin-care regime. Many years ago I began dabbling in different concealers and eye creams to avoid crows feet around my eye area. I have very sensitive skin and have been cautious with sun exposure, however--at this age, environmental stressors, stress, and water consumption have started to show the age of my skin. A year ago, I was accused of "catfishing" someone on a website. Although he was referring to the color of my hair (it changes frequently), I still took this majorly to heart and realized I needed to get serious about my skincare regime (some of my posted pictures were only 8 months prior to being called this dreaded term). After reaching out and receiving validation from friends and exes that I was not, in fact, a catfish--in dejection, I purchased many of the most potent over-the-counter retinol products that can be purchased without a prescription. While these products definitely shaved off 5-10 years on wrinkles and aging/dark spots, I broke out in adolescent-type acne, all over my face. I tried to muscle my way through this phase, but the persistent acne spots interspersed with red, blotchy, dry spots were too much. I backed off on the retinol (and only used it every 3-4 day), but was in search of a product to help moisturize and balance the damage. Before I quit using the super-strength retinol products, I had stumbled onto the the "Dreamy Youth Day and Night Face Cream" from Pacifica, and it worked wonders to counteract the damage from the breakouts, dry spots, and general "purging" of my skin. I would wake up with dewy skin, and it actually seemed to counteract the persistent breakouts. That was what led me to this product (since I was so impressed with the Dreamy Youth line). This product has retinol in it, but a gentler form than the one I was using (on the label it is advertised as "Granactive (copywritten) retinoid). The reviews were positive, so I gave it a chance. It also has melatonin (topical application), chaga mushroom, quinoa, flower extracts, and sunflower oil. After using the night cream, I stopped using my other retinol products altogether. I woke up daily to dewy, refreshed skin. My skin seemed to glow; the breakouts were gone. I used up the rest of my night cream and didn't think of repurchasing until a few months down the line, when I noticed my skin begin to look my age (again). I purchased the Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum to layer with the other night cream I was using at the time, and... no joke, I was carded at the store the next day for a 18+ purchase!! I immediately repurchased this cream to layer under the serum, because.... why not?! Of all the retinol products I've tried, this does not cause breakouts and actually seems to improve the condition of my skin (and without going through the dreaded "purge" phase of other retinol products). I will never be without this cream again--it will be a permanent staple in my collection.

I love this stuff! It’s seems like it’s lasting a long time. It feels really good on my skin. I had been having some sort of skin allergies with other face lotions I had been using and my eye lids were very red and peeling and I was worried I might have or be getting rosacea and it’s went away. My skin feels a lot healthier. I also paired with the face wash.

I like the smell of this moisturizer and it does feel nice once it is sucked up by the skin. However, it is very runny. I prefer something in a more creamy texture for my skin.

Love this stuff. It is fragranced, but not offensively: it smells floral, a little like cold cream, and I find it soothing as part of my bedtime routine. Thankfully, it's not nearly as heavy as cold cream--it is substantial in the jar, but cloud-light (sort of like Cool Whip), and not thick on the face. My skin is combination-oily and acne-prone, and it hasn't broken me out or irritated me in the months I've been using it. It does seem to work gently on lines and skin texture over time, and I wake up with a nice glow. It is a very mild dose of a mild retinoid, so don't expect miracles. But if you would like to add retinoids to your routine but experience irritation with stronger formulations, this cream might be for you. I'm on my second jar.
