Molecular Mesh Barrier Repair Face Moisturizer - 2 fl oz

If you have oily or combination skin stay away from this. This gave me acne all over my face and irritated me maybe not for me.

WOWZA. This is totally worth the hype. I’m in my 50s & have oily skin (sometimes combo), and my skin is extremely sensitive. This cream isn’t oily, but it does leave a dewy/bouncy texture which I really like—not quite a “glass skin” look, but nice & dewy making skin look fresh. It’s lightweight, but rich & moisturizing. This doesn’t make my skin oiler at all (although, again, it does leave a bit of a dewy/bouncy texture, so if you are looking for something with a matte finish, then this is probably not the one for you) & it’s completely fragrance-free and has never bothered my skin once, and I even use it on and around my eyes. This cream is the BEST I’ve ever tried—hands-down (and I’m old enough that I have tried many). I started by using it at night layering it after azelaic acid & tretinoin & I’m thrilled with the results! I wake up with incredibly moisturized skin. Prior to using this cream, I was having some minor irritation from the tretinoin & this miracle stuff completely banished all irritation! Since I started using this on top I’ve had ZERO irritation from the tret. Since it was doing so well at night, I thought I’d give it a try during the day, although I was afraid it would be a bit rich for daytime use. But my fears were unfounded, but note that I apply it fairly lightly during the day. It’s been fantastic during the day as well. I considered the price a little high for this cream when compared to others, but honestly, I now feel it’s more than worth the cost. I think it’s a very fair price for the quality you get. I’ve been using this for about 2 months now and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to go back to another face moisturizer! It checks all my boxes, and I will definitely be purchasing again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

If you liked that purple moisturizer from a certain brand but don't want to break the bank, this is the perfect dupe! My skin barrier used to be compromised, it was rough, dry, would burn from products that didn't used to burn me, but this moisturizer fixed it! It doesn't have any overwhelming fragrances in it and it does not burn sensitive areas on the face or the eye area at all! I like to apply a little more of this product on problem areas like around the mouth (which would stretch and sometimes get dry or cause makeup to peel whenever I'd smile) as well as under the eye to better prep that area to wear a powder product on top. It has a somewhat thick consistency so you could get away with using less to make it last. I've been perscribed Tretinoin and Clindamycin and I've used this product over those with no issue. I've worn this product every day under liquid makeup as well as powder makeup, it makes a great skin prep for foundation. It leaves the skin feeling really soft and hydrated all day long so your makeup can sit over it comfortably. If you tend to be dry, have a compromised skin barrier, or you skin tends to "eat" most moisturizers up and leave behind nothing which causes you to feel dry, give this a try! This is my second purchase for a reason!

I have tried SO many moisturizers over the years, especially because I have acne-prone and sensitive skin, so finding something that actually works for me without making my skin feel congested, irritated, or overly greasy is honestly a challenge. I’m usually pretty skeptical when I try a new moisturizer because I’ve had so many products that sounded amazing but ended up doing very little for my skin—or worse, caused irritation or breakouts. But Molecular Mesh genuinely surprised me. After just ONE use, I could already tell a difference in the way my skin looked and felt. My skin was noticeably more plump, smooth, hydrated, and clear-looking, and it had that really healthy, fresh appearance that I’m constantly trying to achieve with my skincare routine. It wasn’t just sitting on top of my skin either—it felt like my skin was actually deeply moisturized and replenished. I also mixed it with some of my Aestura moisturizer, and that combination has officially become my new holy grail. The two together gave me the perfect level of hydration without leaving my skin feeling heavy or uncomfortable. My skin felt incredibly soft and cushiony, and when I looked in the mirror, it just looked calmer, smoother, and more plump. What really impressed me is that I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, so I’m always careful about introducing new products. I don’t expect a moisturizer to completely transform my skin overnight, but the fact that I noticed such a visible difference after only one use genuinely caught me off guard. My skin looked so much more hydrated and healthy, while still looking clear rather than greasy or weighed down. I’ve gone through so many different moisturizers trying to find the one. Some have been too heavy, some haven’t been hydrating enough, some have irritated my skin, and others have just felt nice but never really made a noticeable difference. Molecular Mesh is one of the first moisturizers where I immediately thought, “Wait… I think I actually found it.” The texture, the hydration, the way my skin looked afterward—it all just worked so well for me. My skin had that plump, smooth, hydrated glow without feeling like I had a million layers sitting on my face. And because I’m acne-prone and sensitive, that is a HUGE deal for me. Obviously, skincare is incredibly personal and what works for my skin may not work for everyone, but based on my experience so far, I am genuinely impressed. One use and I’m already calling this my new holy grail moisturizer. I’m definitely going to keep using it and see how my skin continues to respond over time, but so far I am beyond happy with it. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin and struggle to find a moisturizer that gives you serious hydration while still leaving your skin looking clear and smooth, this one has absolutely made me want to keep reaching for it. Molecular Mesh + Aestura = my current skincare obsession. 🤍 My skin has literally never felt this plump, soft, smooth, and hydrated from a moisturizer after just one use. I’m officially a fan.

This moisturizer is fantastic! It a good price for it . It hydrate the skin without feeling greasy , has no scent , and absorb very quickly . It would be great for dry and sensitive skin.

Edited: This stuff is great but you need to use a large amount to get effects! It is pricey for a moisturizer but I appreciate that it does make my face feel smooth and moisturized!
