Skincare Sunday - Glow Recipe Banana Souffle Moisture Cream

I've raved about Glow Recipe on here before - it appears that whatever products that I try from them, I really enjoy! They make great products and I love the fruity branding they have! And, spoiler alert, I've already raved about this Banana Souffle Moisture Cream!

Glow Recipe has these adorable fruit-themed items and I love their philosophy - "Skincare should be fun. Unexpected sensorial textures, colourful packaging, and innovative ingredients are our thing." The believe your skincare routine should make you feel inspired! 
Glow Recipe uses natural ingredients in their products and they believe what they leave out of the formula is just as important as what they put in it! Their products are clean, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

Glow Recipe Banana SoufflĂ© Moisture Cream ~ $50.00 CAN. A soothing, lightweight moisturizer, this sweet soufflĂ© of banana, magnesium, turmeric, and cica is your recipe for calmer, hydrated, even skin.

This moisturizer uses banana rich in potassium to restore skin's hydration, magnesium to calm the skin, Cica (also called Centella Asiatica) to heal irritated skin, and turmeric for a healthy-looking glow! So many good ingredients! Plus, it smells like bananas (but sort of like banana medicine, which I love) and the scent lasts really briefly and is gone as the moisturizer absorbs in to the skin!

This texture is so nice - it's quite lightweight; but, deeply hydrating and moisturizing! I have combination skin that leans a little dry in the Winter and a little oily in the warm months and I thought this was a great day moisturizer in the Winter and as it warmed up, I switched it to my night moisturizer! It was perfect for both and my skin really loved this! I thought my skin was smooth and even!

While I really like the moisturizer and it works so well for my skin, can we talk about the packaging for a minute?! I don't always love potted containers, but I can usually manage. But, this one has quite such a bulbous bottom; but, is really narrow on the top, so once you get past the halfway mark, it's actually hard to get the product out and it just gets harder. I just kept thinking that someone had to have tested this and realized that this packaging was not ideal! 

So long story short, I love this moisturizer; but, I really wish it came in better packaging!

  1. I have not tried this product, but have tried some others from the brand. Very impressed. I get what you mean about the packaging being a thing -- I recently tried a new makeup remover and I loved the product but the packaging was not great.

    1. Packaging is close to make or break sometimes - but I do love the brand!

  2. This looks so good. You make it sound wonderful. I fully agree about the packaging, I was wondering as I looked at it if it was just for a pretty look or would it actually be difficult to use

    1. Ya, I can't believe this shape made it through - such a bummer! But, I do love this moisturizer!
