Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Moisturizer

Do you ever find you have never heard of a certain product or brand before and then as soon as you buy it, it pops up everywhere? This is what happened after I bought the Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Moisturizer, after finding reviews on Makeup Ally of their different moisturizers I chose one that seemed to be suitable for me.
 This is the perfect daily moisturizer & I would think it would be just as beneficial for combination or dehydrated skin, as it applies like a very light lotion but still feels moisturizing without being greasy. It would be perfect to wear under foundation if you happen to be short on time and cannot wait ~10 minutes for it to sink in so you can do your thing afterwards.

 In the ingredients list above you can see Hyaluronic acid is one of the main ingredients. This is actually found just under the epidermis (skin) which nourishes & increases water content to the skin by attracting water. Using this moisturizer would replace what dehydrated skin is lacking, so it works on a scientific level, unlike some moisturizers that only sit on the surface of the skin.
All you need is around a pea sized amount as it glides effortlessly without needing much product.
Packaging: Easy to squeeze bottle with an unscrew-able lid where the product comes out from an opening that you flick open.
Texture: Feels like a lightweight lotion but moisturizing & sinks in fairly quickly, leaving a subtle glow to the skin
Cost & Where to buy: $27.25 for 30ml on beautybay (for some reason now I can only find one in a pot, I didn't even buy it too long ago!)

Overall I really like this moisturizer and I think it would work nicely in summer or in winter as it feels lightweight but moisturizing at the same time! I would give it a 10/10 rating which I feel it deserves as it applies easily & quickly, is suitable for a few different skin types and it keeps the skin feeling moisturized.

Have you tried any other Mario Badescu products?

This product was bought by myself & this is a 100% honest review!

  3. I like lightweight moisturizers. I've tried a few of Mario Badescu products and I thought they were alright. I didn't really find a favorite in their product line.

  5. I have tried this in the pot, but it doesn't have any spf in it! I have also tried the enzyme cleanser which is a very nice, albeit average cleanser :)

    1. Ohh how annoying, I prefer SPF because I usually wont apply it on it's own. It's weird how I can only find the jar one on beauty bay now. xx

  6. I've never tried any Mario Badescu products before and this sounds like a nice moisturiser. I like products that have hyaluronic acid in because my skin needs a lot of hydration.

  7. I've really wanted to try Mario Badescu products and after reading this I want to try it even more! I love using lightweight moisturisers, heavy creamy ones make my oily skin much more noticeable!

  8. Everything I've tried from his brand has been awesome (spot treatment and rose hydrating mist). As soon as I finish my current AHA toner I'm definitely going to try out his version of it and I may have to add this lotion to the list as well!
