All Day Glow Calming Balance Day Cream Review

All Day Glow is a brand new skincare line that is created by Samsung Medicos and it looks to be focusing on ceramides and hyaluronic acids. They the brand is quite new for me and they just have three products. Jolse carries this brand exclusively and I have been using the Calming Balance Day Cream that they sent me for review purposes.

I received these products complementary to review and was not paid. All reviews are my own honest opinion and I never have been asked to write copy for a brand.

This cream comes in a plain white tube with dark gray lettering ~ it is very minimalist with a twist off cap. The cream is thick but it does spread easily ~ there is no scent to this at all, for those who are looking for a fragrance free facial cream. I was a bit worried as I spread it out, as I could see that it was a denser cream.

However, I didn’t need to worry ~ despite the density and despite the richness, this cream just absorbed quickly into my oily, dehydrated skin. There was a bit of tacky residue but within several minutes, the cream did dry down, leaving behind hydrated and slightly dewy skin. I say slightly because once I applied my sunscreen, the dewiness was gone.

This didn’t irritate my skin and helped calm down the redness as I am applying vitamin C now in my daytime skincare routine ~ and that always makes my skin flush. I found that this mild cream really helps keep my skin protected, while not breaking me out ~ it has so many moisturizing ingredients but none of them clogged my pores or felt too heavy. This little tube of cream is one that I did reach for when the temperatures started to get really cold out here and I think this is a great cream for the winter months for me. If you have drier skin types, this would be great all-year round!
