Face Moisturizer Cream - Advanced 12-In-1 Rejuvenating Formula With Superfood Complex Manuka Honey, Hyaluronic Acid, Hemp Oil - Anti Aging Wrinkle Defense For Women or Men - 2oz

I've been using the Era Organics cream (this and the eczema seem identical in smell, appearance, behavior, so I am reviewing both with the same time span/use) for about a month, and I can finally and honestly review it on how it worked on my latest eczema flare: A bit of background. I'm a highly allergic type person, since childhood. There are many things I cannot use or eat due to my severe sensitivities. I also have an AI condition that makes me prone to pains and skin issues--dryness due to the hypothyroid and eczema due to the AI and dermatitis due to the allergies. So, basically, I"m a mess. I've tried many very expensive creams for my aging skin (I'm 55), but most also cause me a reaction--no matter how hypoallergenic or high end--so I end up using Lubriderm sensitive and Eucerin Calming most often. However, I had an eczema flare on my neck/upper chest (started in 2012, and calms/flares periodically). I did NOT want to resort to prescription steroid or even OTC cortisone creams. So, I bought 4 different ones at the health food store. They helped VERY little. I decided to try this one. I was skeptical, but the reviews were good and the ingredients didn't seem to be problematic (although I worried about the algae component, as I am sensitive to iodine and seafood of all kinds.) I used it every 2 hours for the first couple weeks, then every 4 hours. Now, I apply 2 or 3 times a day as maintenance. The result: incredible softening of skin and soothing of it. The redness began to reduce in less than a week, the itching lessened. After two weeks, very much relieved. Now, about a month later, my neck looks and feels much better and I haven't scratched or burned for over two weeks. It feels normal to the touch. I do have hyperpigmentation from recurrent flares, and this cream can't fix that, but having the rash/itch/redness gone is lovely. So, is this a miracle cream? No. Is it useful? YES! It did not affect a hypersensitive person such as I am, which is saying a lot. It helped a lot. Much more than the other creams and homeopathic stuff I tried. (I even tried straight, pure medical-grade Manuka honey, which was a sticky mess, but that stuff is good; and this cream contains some, which is good.) I figure if you have a rash/eczema/etc and are tired of the skin damaging steroids--and I used them for years and years--try this. If it doesn't work, just use it as a moisturizer. But it's surely worth a shot. Proof I liked it: I ordered 3 jars that arrived this past week, using the promo code here on Amazon. I'll take any savings I can get! My sister also has eczema and dermatitis issues, so I'm gonna gift her a jar and see how it goes. Now, the physical/smell of the cream: It's a thick, white cream (almost like a paste). It smells like cocoa butter. It applies nicely and is not sticky. It does have a light "layering" effect, so while I use it on my face when I'm at home, I'm less likely to use it under makeup, where the cream can pill a bit if you rub in foundation, cream blush, etc. I have used it as an undereyes/crows-feet area cream, since I can't use anything there other than Lubriderm (for 15 years, due to hypersensitivity). This one has not given me any dermatitis/reaction. None. Just soothing. The cocoa butter smell dissipates, so I don't find it annoying at all. But if you hate the scent of cocoa butter, you will not like it. This is a jar, so you need to use hygiene techniques: Wash hands well with soap before dipping fingers inside and keep tightly closed between uses. I have my new jars in the fridge, since I don't know how well they will last outside of refrigeration. The ingredients seem pretty stable, and the jar I opened a month ago is still fresh in look and smell. Note: There is another product on Amazon that's an eczema cream with identical ingredients, smell, and look. I bought it along with the Era Organics one and they seem to be the same (similarly priced, too). I'd keep an eye out on which has a better price (with the discount, right now, it's Era Organics, unless you buy the 8 oz jar by Wild Naturals, in which case you do get about 9 bucks o fa savings.) Also, seems to be the same formula as the other Era Organics cream that comes in the same type jar (the one for eczema). Go with either one, whichever is priced better or has a discount promotion. A VERY good cream for sensitive and fussy skin--very calming and soothing and softening without the weird ingredients of steroid creams. I recommend it. I will note that the owner, Tyler, seems to be highly responsive to customer issues. So, if good customer service is a priority for you, definitely feel at ease with Era Oganics. And I don't know Tyler personally, but I've seen his comment replies here on Amazon, and he's on top of customer complaints and issues. RECOMMENDED PRODUCT UPDATE July 2015: I've been using this every single days, more than once a day, for six months already. My neck is much, much, much improved. This cream has kept another flare away and the skin is able to heal some, even lighten up some. I was so embarrassed by the scaliness and hyperpigmentation that was so dark it looked like dirt. Well, it's smooth and the marks are much less noticeable. I plan to continue to use this as my regular neck cream morning and evening to keep the dermatitis/eczema away. Love it. I do notice that there are other creams now on Amazon besides this and the other brand I tried, with the exact same ingredients list. so I will be keeping an eye on prices as competition heats up. But I stil recommend this one. UPDATE November 2016: I've been using this close to two years now, and it has kept my neck nice. It's all normal and has been for a while. No scales, no pustules, not dark striations. I am happy to show it off again with low-cut tops. :D I even recommended it to family and I carry it around with me some days when I'm gone from home all day to reapply as needed. This, the facial one, the eczema (all the same really) work very well. I can't wear foundation anymore due to allergies, so I just slather this on my face instead and when I went to the beauty salon last month, I kept hearing shocked reactions to my age (56). So, it's just as well I cna't use expensive creams (allergic), cause this one works fine.

I've just about finished this product and it's lasted me about a year - however, I've experimented with a few other moisturizers over that time, so my timing may be slightly exaggerated and simultaneously, I've only used this on my face and occasionally my neck usually once a day (at night). While there are many variations in how long the 4 ounce jar lasts per personal preference, I would credit much of the longevity of this product mainly towards the formula and consistency of the product: it's very thick and creamy and something akin to thick butter, but without clogging your pores or being heavy on the skin. The thickness is what makes this product last so long simply because a little will go a long way and despite it's thickness, it has a very light, refreshing feeling on the skin. When first placed on the skin, it is similar to other lotions where it is slightly dewy (like that feeling when a flyaway hair sticks to your face after applying lotion). However, what makes this lotion particularly special is when it absorbs. It takes all of a few seconds for it to truly sink into your skin, and once it does, it has a great matte finish where your skin is incredibly smooth and hydrated. There is a slight left-over residue which feels very light and refreshing while helping to maintain the moisture in your face. This face moisturizer is truly great for warm, summer-y weather seasons, when it feels like your face get a little more oily or whenever you need a lotion that will be light and refreshing. It's particularly amazing when it comes to acne because it helps provide moisture to the skin without adding to the problem. If anything, it probably helped soothe my skin and provide the ingredients to help it recover. However, if your face is drier and needs more moisture, this product will most likely not satisfy that. In Colorado, winters tend to get particularly drying, and I found that it doesn't provide enough moisture to my face during those times. I tend to have combination skin that can get pretty oily in the T-zone area often during warmer temperatures, and this product is perfect for that because it doesn't make my skin feel more oily while still providing adequate moisture, but if my skin needs a little more than that, this product can't truly deliver. Even if you layer it up or use more than enough, it'll stay the same - light, refreshing, but same level of hydration. Sensitive skin would probably love this too because it's quite smooth, soothing, and light. I didn't buy this product to help with anything in particular (e.g. redness, puffiness, hyperpigmentation, etc.) so I wasn't entirely paying attention to that, but I don't think it really did a whole lot in terms of targeting such traits anyways. It's just a great product for general hydration, everyday use, acne, and helping maintain a better skin quality. Overall, I still give this product five stars because it has the quality of your high-end moisturizers, yet contains all natural ingredients and the price point is amazing for how it performs. It's one of the rare facial products that when I read the ingredients lists, I can actually understand it without needing a chemistry degree. With the ingredient list, one of the potential reasons it doesn't add more hydration when used in a larger quantity is because of the lack of water in it. While I too hate having watered down products, having water in a moisturizer adds that additional hydration as it sinks in to the skin because once the intended ingredients are absorbed into the skin, the ingredients that are left on top of the skin act as a barrier so that the moisture added to the skin doesn't evaporate, but rather continues to be absorbed. If you are in dire need of extra hydration, yet this is the only product on hand, it does help somewhat to slightly wet your face and then rub/pat/spread this across your face. The only preference that I would change about this product is the packaging - rather than a jar where everything is exposed to any microbes in the air or on your fingers, change it to maybe a pump or tube to keep the product that you aren't using at that time, fresh and unexposed. TL;DR - buy this moisturizer, even if you're on the borderline. It's worth it!

This is nice moisture cream. Not just for face but for hands and body as well. It looks and feels heavy in the jar but once applied it is not. The only thing I don't care for is the scent - it smells like sour, almost like spoiled dairy products. The scent does quickly dissipate once applied to the skin. It is also a great eye cream. I used to be able to tolerate eye wrinkle creams but as I've gotten older most of them irritate my eyes - burning, itching and creeping into the eyes once your body heat softens them. I am able to use this around my eye area w/ no problem. I have given this to my 12 year old niece to get her started on a basic skin care regimen. She has very sensitive skin and has had no problems w/ it causing irritation or any kind of break out or rashes or itching. It is a very soothing, healing cream. My niece got burned a few months ago on half her face w/ scalding hot soup. She quickly jumped in the shower when it happened and let the cool water run on her face until the burn feeling subsided, ice packed it until we got her to the doctor. She had what was basically a bad sunburn on her face is what the doctor said. After two days of applying nothing but antibiotic ointment to her skin per the doctors orders, I gave her a jar of this cream. She applied it everyday as needed. She said it felt cool and like it soothed it. It helped w/ the itching and peeling and the roughness. Her skin is now even more beautiful than before. No scarring or redness of any sort. Just a smooth, porcelain like complexion.

My 48 year old, maturing, hormonal, unpredictable skin LOVES this stuff. First, I tried it on my hands. Like buttah! Super super soft. I used it quite sparingly and found it did the trick. Not greasy; just silky smooth soft. If it feels heavy, you've used too much! This moisturizer is creamy dreamy, fast absorbing, unscented and fresh feeling. My skin feels.....happy. I've used all kinds of organic and anti aging products. I'm so happy I found the product line for my temperamental skin. I had many questions about the quality of the manuka honey. I spoke to Tyler Chase, via emails. He responded to my questions within a short period of time. He answered my questions ...and I grilled him, after doing my own research on manuka honey. He answered in detail and understood my questions. This gentleman was patient and exchanged quite a few emails with me before I felt ready to commit to purchasing. I shop online quite regularly, and have NEVER received this kind of red carpet treatment. Truly, I felt appreciated and valued as a customer. My Momma, who will be 75 this November, suffers from severe dry skin. She tried the moisturizer on her face and hands. Let's just say she couldn't keep her hands off her face...and hands. She, too,used it sparingly and couldn't believe how effective it was, using just a little. It goes a long way and absorbs beautifully. I was concerned, at first, that it might be rubbing off, but I read it does has some very tiny bead-like bits to its mixture. It all absorbed into my skin, beautifully! Also, I purchased my products after I signed up for the e-raorganics VIP club, resulting in a discount on my first purchase. I love good deals, especially when our dollar is at an 11 year low. You've got to give this stuff a try. You're worth the investment, Kat from Canada

It's very different than any lotion or creme I've used.. I noticed its texture is very whip-like and does absorb very easily! It kind of feels like a whipped foundation primer. My skin feels smooth and not greasy, but well-moisturized. I like to apply it soon after misting my face with my witch hazel & aloe toner (after washing my face) so it has a little extra moisture to work with. I noticed when I put it on my bare, dry skin (long after washing) it didn't absorb as well, which is unfortunately normal because the face wash I'm currently using isn't helping my ph :( Aside from that, it smells decent. Not bad. Obviously it won't smell like vanilla or lavender (thankfully!!) because it's organic so keeping that in mind, it sure smells natural, but that's definitely not a bad thing imo Oh, works great to moisturize the skin around my eyes too :) the consistency helped blend my undereye foundation really well. Some lotions can be so greasy the makeup will crease and smear, or drying lotions that just accentuate bad skin when putting makeup on top. EEK!! Update: So, today I washed my face and lotioned everything with this creme, eyes & neck too, and I used a powder brush to blend some powder mineral foundation for a light/medium coverage. This lotion is a GREAT for powder foundation (which most of the time makes women look.... Powdery! And dried out... Not attractive.) the makeup glided on my skin And blended beautifully! My skin looked matte with a light glow but not dry or powdery at all. it's been a few hours and my skin is getting a little oily in my T zone but that's normal for me. My face feels great! I have no irritations and I don't feel like I have something yucky on my skin. I also noticed that my eye shadow still looks really good with no creasing (which greasy products do) & I did use the creme on my eyelids also. I can't wait for more products Era!!! Keep up the brilliant work! Tanya in Northern California Update #2: The face wash is great but unfortunately, I noticed the top ingredient in the cream is coconut oil which is highly comedogenic (aka clogs pores) and that it did.. I didn't understand why! I would even use my microderm machine and even still, after 3 days my skin felt gross, every single pore on my face was clogged and of course, makeup looks bad on bad skin.. I had to give it up, sorry Era. This journey has taken me down the natural/organic and simple route for my skin and it has improved INSANELY. I use a face wash similar to Era (ph balanced without any sulfate a, alcohols, etc) and follow up with a spray mixture of pure, organic hemp seed oil (Zero on comedogenic scale) pure vitamin e oil (bought online; store vitamin e has additive ingredients) unscented alcohol-free witch hazel, some filtered water, and recently added niacinamide (vitamin b3) and green tea in powder form from a site that sells bulk ingredients to make at-home skin care. Blown away. My skin has never ever been this clear in ten years! So I gotta say thank you for introducing me to the organic skin care life. This product may have no worked for me but thankfully I found something that did AND many many people are finding satisfaction in this product. I think it's great! Just not for my face .

UPDATE: I was SO looking forward to receiving my next jar of this face cream. Was I ever disappointed! If you look at the ingredients in this picture you will see the first 4 say Organic Aloe Barbadensis Gel and Cocis Nucifera, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter and Manuka Honey. WRONG. The jar I received says Aloe, EMULSIFYING WAX, CAPRYLIC TRIGLYCERIDE, and GLYCERINE. This stuff is terrible. It doesn't sink into the skin nicely, feels waxy on top of the skin and greasy. Apparently this company hasn't heard the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"? I am extremely disappointed and am looking for a new cream. Really makes me sad because my skin was SO totally in love with the "original" cream :( ************************ I have to admit when I first bought this I thought it was going to be a bit heavy for my skin type. I am 51 and have combination skin - dry everywhere but my nose. I have the typical fine lines and some small facial spider veins. My skin isn't as dry in the summer of course but winters in Michigan wreak havoc on my skin, which is why I bought this. Now for the review: This does feel like a somewhat thick cream. Don't let that scare you. Just use it sparingly because it is fabulous! My skin was looking very dull, pores were looking enormous, and I was breaking out a bit. I started washing with a lovely organic soap (from Chagrin Valley Soaps). I use the Quinns Witch Hazel Rose Petal toner afterwards, then put on the (generic version of) Olay's Regenerist Microsculpting Serum. Then I put the Era Organics Natural Face Moisturizer Cream on over this. This has made SUCH a change in my skin texture, makes my skin look fresh and young and smooth again. I have had SO many compliments on my skin since using this. The Era Organics Natural Face Moisturizer Cream actually seems to blur my skin as well (like a really, really good primer) so that's a bonus, because I work from home and often don't wear makeup during the week. It has really reduced the fine lines and crows feet under my eyes and softened the lines at the sides of my mouth. I even use it on my lips to keep them soft. And the smell is awesome - well, if you love a light scent of coconut, which I do. If you are thinking about trying this just keep in mind, a little goes a long way. I have had my jar for quite a while, so it's really a good value too!

UPDATE AS OF FEB. 13, 2015 Routines: (I do this before I apply Era Organic Complete) - Noxzema Anti-Blemish Daily Scrub (Use for back and face about 3 times per week) - Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream (Use for face everyday 2 times [In the morning & before bed]) Pros: - Help reduce acne (Meaning, it doesn't make your acne gone "forever") - Lightens scar - Jar lasted pretty long for the price (I would say about almost 2 months depending how much you use it-I used it for my back, face, neck, upper arms[both right and left side]) Cons: - Darker scars take forever to lighten using this cream, so it will take awhile to show any sign of improvements. Although, it works so much better on lighter scars and open wound; which I recommend you to apply the cream right away if the wound is still fresh and you don't want it to end up as a scar. -Don't apply a thick coating of the cream Reasons why: 1. If you keep trying to rub it in... the cream gets all lumpy (cream starts to roll into a ball/lump, idk how to describe it) because its having a hard time absorbing into your skin. 2. This works both ways depending on your skin-it can either clog your pores or heal your acne faster. - It is a daily cream if you want it to help your acne (Not something I wanted.) - Does not help blackheads. My experience: The cream works a lot better for my scars than my acne. That's just my opinion. I had new fresh wounds on my face due to my acne and I applied the cream on it right away and now there is barely even a noticeable scar there. I do have this larger darker scar that already healed up, but the cream has actually helped reduced the darkness of the scar, so its a relief. I also had dark patches due to scratching and picking on my acne at the side of my face and neck and these were old scars already and I just apply the cream twice daily and it reduced the dark patches. It really made a whole lot of difference, but now I still got little specs (dot-like) of scars there, but the dark scar patches are a little bit gone. I don't have acne on my face anymore. Guessing due to because I apply the cream on my face twice daily. I still have acne on my back, but they are not as much as before. Before I even bought this cream, the acne on my back was horrible. Its just constantly one pimple after the other, but the cream help reduce that by half, I would say. Its better than feeling a ton of pimples on my back. I haven't checked to see if the acne scars on my back are lighten; I don't expect it to be because the scars on my back are super dark. The acne scar on my left arm has lighten. My right arm, not so much... but it doesn't break out anymore like it normally usually do. If you are acne prone and you skip a day... your acne is likely to come back. It sucks. I skipped like 2 days of not using this cream and the acne on my back came back and I was upset. This is why I said the cream being a daily use is a con for me. What I recommend is cleaning the area of the skin in which you are planning to apply the cream on. Use it 2 times daily. If you have back acne like I do, make sure you have a decent body wash or some kind of acne product body wash. Using acne towelettes should work as well. My jar lasted about a month and 2 weeks. I still have a bit more, hopefully it will run out by the end of February. I have already placed another order for this cream because I like it and it works ^_^ . Idk if I do plan to buy the mud mask when this cream already does the job already, but who knows. Anyways, this is my experience and I hope I helped some of you choose whether this product is a good choice for you or not. Ordered it on Dec. 29, 2014 and received on Jan. 2, 2015 How many times I applied the cream on a daily basis: 2-3 The jar was dirty, but it wasn't a big deal to me because all I cared about was if this product really works or not. I have not used it for a very long time yet (not even a week yet), but I haven't seen any difference so far. I will probably update about this product after 2 or 3 months of use. It does not moisturize my face, probably due to because my face doesn't need any moisturizing. However, it does work for moisturizing my hand. You can tell by a little difference. They did advertise about applying a dime size, which I do believe they are right. You don't need too much to cover a small area on your body or where ever you apply the product on. I only take a couple of dabs from the jar and it covers half my forehead. I didn't even need a dime size amount. The texture of the cream is nice and white. Its thick, smooth, and non-greasy. Basically what they advertised. Just looks like the image they advertised. The smell is not pleasant, lol. I really can't describe the smell unless you smell it for yourself. I thought it would be odorless, I was wrong. Its not a really bad smell, but... it has a feeling of you know its there. To me... it smell like as if there was grind/blended nuts...? Or the anti-itch cream with Hydrocortisone. However, the smell goes away in 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of coating you applied to you skin. So it shouldn't be such a big deal. What I like about this product so far is the texture of the cream. It just feels right. Not too soft like a liquid lotion kind of thing. Its not greasy at all. Its organic. I didn't get any allergic reaction to the ingredients, which sometimes I normally do and I hate that. I have very sensitive skin. Wouldn't say extremely though. So I am very cautious in what ingredients are in the products that I've used. For a product that advertises that it helps acne, I'm hoping that it does. I notice I don't break out as much as I usually normally do. I only got one pimple so far using this product, but it keeps the other pimples at bay from what I notice so that's a good sign for me. Its actually one of the best product I've used so far. I have tried tree tee oil, neutrogena, and noxzema for acne. Tree tea oil was just too oily for me. Made me break out a little then it disappeared. Noxzema helps my acne disappears, but makes my face dry and sometimes flaky. Neutrogena... I can't really say. Some people says it works, but I completely broke out so bad that I didn't buy the product ever again. I probably had a allergic reaction to the ingredient called benzoyl peroxide which I've read it is suppose to help with your acne, but apparently, not for me. Even Bio Oil has that ingredient and it made me break out. Was really disappointed. Anyways... E-raorganics complete has been a good product on my skin so far and there really isn't any cons I can say about this product. If it works... I'm glad I found this product and I can't wait to buy the mud mask. If not... oh well... off to a new product then. I would definitely recommend you guys to buy this product if you need a moisturizer though. Its not so bad ;) .

I adore this face lotion. It took me years to find a replacement for the stuff I had been using that I couldn't get anymore. I also, in the meantime, had gotten rosacea and many lotions made it worse--irritated it and/or made it look shiny. This stuff is just perfect for my skin. Not greasy, absorbs really well, very emollient and moisturizing. It's light enough to use in the summer when I'm more oily, but also keeps me well moisturized in Winter when I'm all dry. It's like it's got sensors in it to tell it what my skin needs. And wonder of wonders--after a few months of using ONLY this moisturizer my rosacea cleared up 80%. Now I really only notice it on high stress days, or when I'm too hot. I got two jars with my last order (special deal?) and it has lasted over a year. I only just started the second jar a month ago and I expect it to last at least 6 more months or more. You only need a tiny bit. I also add lavender essential oil to it so it smells great. Without it, the smell is very neutral though. I'm ordering again to stock up since it seems that everything I love gets discontinued and I would like to use this lotion for the rest of my life if possible. (I'm 47 so hopefully that's a good long while yet! LOL)
