Review: Be.fine Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15

befinedaily.jpgWhat They Say: A feather weight, easily absorbed active collagen supporting formulation of Rosemary & Pomegranate: hydro balancing natural stimulants regenerate your skin. Rice provides natural protective moisture. Pomegranate increases the effect of spf15. Use to restore and protect.

Melissa Says: I actually liked this a.m. moisturizer's light feel. Though not as quickly-absorbing as the oil-free version I'd been using regularly, of course, this didn't take too long to soak into the skin. Unfortunately, this made me break out. The first time I noticed a few pimples where I don't even usually get them on my "off" days, I just thought "hmm, I wonder if it's this stuff? naahhh...", but took a break from it just in case. The second time there were just a few random ones again and I thought "oh great, is it possible this is just a bad coincidence?". One more try after about two weeks off, and the third time there was no question. There they were, on my forehead and either sidE of my nose. ENOUGH.

This could just be a reaction because of my skin type, so just use caution when deciding to use this if your skin is reactive sometimes to certain ingredients. It seems like it would be a good moisturizer otherwise, so if it doesn't bother you, go for it. And remember, if it does cause you to break out, you can always return the product to the drugstore to get a refund.

Retail Price: $19.99 (in CVS stores or at CVS online or shop at the BeFine online store after their shopping area is complete)

I don't have that problem with this moisturizer and I have pilaris and eczema. I'm allergic to a lot of chemicals in cosmetics and it was great to find this product is safe enough for me to use. I love that this product doesn't have synthetic fragrances and it has a lovely natural scent from teh food in it. I like that there are no parabens making it a safer product to use then most. There isn't enough SPF in it for my fair skin, but it provides some protection. I didn't get a break out from this, so maybe there is a chemical in it that is causing an allergic reaction or its the time of the month?

well, given the timing of when i used it, only two weeks apart on the last shot, that would eliminate the possibility that it was hormonal. besides, at 31, i'm pretty sure i know how my skin acts during those times, anyway!

i don't typically break out a lot from product use, though i'm assuming there was something specific that caused the reaction. that's why i think people should know it's a possibility. of course, everyone's skin is different, so i'm not surprised to know it works for you - readers should know that, too!
