REVIEW: Korres Greek Yoghurt Moisturizing Face Cream

~AG~

I am a big fan of yoghurt. I love the taste of it and enjoy its health benefits. So a year ago, while browsing through Sephora in the States, I saw this Greek Yoghurt Moisturizing Face Cream (US$36). Korres is known as a brand that uses natural ingredients, so I decided to try their product to see whether it works for my then ultra sensitive skin. 

On the packaging it says: "Ultra-soothing, non-greasy cream brings immediate hydration and comfort to dehydrated skin. " The Greeks use yoghurt as a remedy to soothe and nourish skin as it contains plenty of proteins, minerals, and vitamins. This Korres Greek Yoghurt Moisturizing Face Cream contains yoghurt, wheat starch, natural Vitamin E, Olive oil concentrate, and Macadamia nut oil. 

In my previous post, I mentioned that I used the Korres Greek Yoghurt Moisturising Face Cream on my recent trip to China. See link below:

What can I say about Korres Greek Yoghurt Moisturizing Face Cream?

1) It feels sticky upon application but it is absorbed well into the skin. My skin feel soft and smooth afterwards. It does not make my skin feel greasy.

2) It kept my skin well moisturised during my trip to China during its Winter season. My skin did not feel tight at all. In comparison, my Ren Vita Mineral Moisturizing Cream is not hydrating enough for the cold and dry Winter weather.

3) When I put my SunPlay Skin Aqua sunscreen on top of Korres Greek Yoghurt Moisturising Face Cream, it does not go on well. There will be some flakes. It seems that Korres Yoghurt Cream does not "mix" well with my sunscreen. Previously, I had no such problem with my other moisturisers REN Vita Mineral Cream or Laneige Water Bank Essence. 

4) My skin did not have any adverse reaction to it. I used it for four days, day and night. No visible bumps or redness appeared during that time.

5) I like the texture of the cream. It does not feel ultra rich. 

6) The scent of the cream is pleasant. The yoghurt-scent is there but it is not too overpowering.

For now, I will only use the Korres Face Cream at night. In conclusion, I would not re-purchase Korres Yoghurt Moisturizing Face Cream because I cannot use it with my favourite sunscreen, SunPlay Skin Aqua.
