Alaffia Skin Recovery Face Cream Neem and Shea Butter -- 2.3 oz 5 5 2 2

Sooo Great!! Alaffia is just all around awesome. I use this as a heavier daytime moisturizer in my dry desert climate and the rooibos version for lighter daytime moisturizing. Both are absolutely great! They leave my skin nice and smooth and look great under makeup too. All this without those dreaded silicones that almost ALL moisturizers have to make your skin "feel" smooth, versus actually nourishing your skin to help make it actually smooth. Silicones cause cystic acne in lots of people but this lovely moisturizer leaves skin soft, smooth and nourished with no bad ingredients. I use their shampoos and conditioners as well as they are completely sulfate free (not just free of sodium sulfates but ALL sulfates and harsh surfectants), silicone free, and paraben free. My skin and hair has never been happier! Alaffia proves you don't need that chemical gunk to make your skin and hair glow!!! April 25, 2013

Non-greasy This cream absorbs rapidly and is very hydrating for the skin. I use it on my face, and the neem is very healing for blemishes and does not leave my face feeling at all greasy. The neem does give this a slight "garlicky" smell, but it is not noticeable after a while. I highly recommend this lotion for people who have combination or acne-prone skin, but who still need a bit of moisture. I put it on before I go to bed. November 29, 2012
