I knew it was time to try the Farmacy honey halo cream after hearing great things about Farmacy Beauty. I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate so rich, hydrating creams are a must. Since the brand described this cream as “ultra-hydrating”, I needed to test it out for myself. Since this cream isn’t super glowy, I don’t love using it for makeup prep. Like I said, I love using this cream at nighttime and I wouldn’t necessarily avoid using it for day time use since it doesn’t pill. It just depends on the finish you like your makeup to have as well as your skin type. This cream glides on the skin nicely without feeling oily or greasy. Since I do have extra dry skin, I like to use a facial oil or small amount of Vaseline to seal the moisturizer in at night time. If you have oily or combo skin, this moisturizer comes in a lighter version called Honey Drop.

FARMACY Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer

A little goes a long way at leaving skin smooth and hydrated and creating a nice moisture barrier around skin for long time moisturizing benefits! I would say the Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer works best for me usually as a nighttime moisturizer because of how intense the hydration is. However, I’ve used it during the daytime as well when my skin is especially dry and needs an extra moisture boost and love it then too. Just depends on what my skin needs that day. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation; Typically when I’ve used heavier products at night I wake up in the morning and feel this film on top of my skin that I need to wash off immediately. The Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer actually sinks in and I can tell a difference when I wake up in the morning. Just more plump and soft! Has helped a bit with my texture as well. Same thing during the day. It actually sinks in and isn’t this greasy layer of product for the entire day that I have to walk around with. It does take longer to absorb than a gel-based consistency product, but not an annoying amount of time.It arrives in a 1.7 oz glass jar with a spatula to scoop out the amount you’d like to apply. The spatula actually attached to the top of the jar thanks to magnet that’s embedded in the top. You might recognize this feature as both Farmacy Honey Potion Warming Face Mask and Farmacy Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer have the same design. I buy spatulas in bulk because I tend to lose them so, I always find the fact that Farmacy’s are metal and attach to the jar for safe keeping really rather handy. Replenish the skin with the Farmacy Beauty Honey Halo Ceramide Moist, a rich moisturiser ideal for use every day as part of a morning and evening skincare routine. I’m not really new to Farmacy, I already had the opportunity to try the Farmacy Honey Drop, a light moisturizing cream with echinacea honey, which I loved to use as a day moisturizer three years ago! Fun Fact: One Green Clean is sold every second globally. Also, the cult favorite Honey Halo can improve skin hydration by up to eight times, according to clinical testing conducted eight hours after application. About the Brand

I was a little worried that the texture would be too rich for me, but not at all! It’s buttery soft and melts beautifully on the skin, but it also has the ability to be absorbed very easily into the skin. The Farmacy honey halo ceramide cream smells delightfully like real honey. If someone put honey halo and a jar of real honey in front of me, I’m not sure I’d be able to smell the difference! The honey halo scent is not overpowering in the slightest. I can smell it while I’m applying from the jar, but the scent does not linger on the skin. If you are sensitive to fragrance, I think you would be safe with this cream in my opinion.
