Farmstead Apothecary100% Natural Anti-Aging Face Cream with Jojoba Oil, 4 oz (Fig & Honeysuckle)

I’ve recently begun derma-rolling my face, neck and chest, every two to three weeks. Anyone familiar with the process knows that your skin is immediately a little red and sensitive, and for the next several days it feels a little like sandpaper. And because the process is mildly invasive, you want to apply only the highest quality, natural and gentle products afterward. Especially when you have somewhat sensitive skin like I do. To make a long story a little shorter, I had tried a couple of other moisturizers for this purpose and they both ended up irritating my newly delicate skin and even causing a couple of blemishes which I rarely get. While searching for another I came across this and I’m so happy I did. Most important - the natural ingredients. So hard to find such pure ingredients in a product that comes together so well. And by “comes together”, I mean the texture is luxurious. The thick, velvety cream melts into my skin, and the immediate softening effect lasts. I only use moisturizers at night because I’ve never found one that treated my combination skin well enough that I could layer makeup on top of it. Well, This past Saturday morning I expected to stay in all day so I applied this cream in the morning. A little while later I had to go out so I applied my usual foundation thinking I would probably regret it soon after. I didn’t. This actually worked under my makeup. I won’t claim that it mattified my skin which leans toward the shiny side halfway through the day. But it didn’t interfere, no patches, streaking, etc. I ordered the lemon/lavender and the fragrance is extremely subtle. In fact the lemon and lavender are barely detectable. It smells a little more like clay? What it doesn’t smell like is that awful moldy odor that some “natural products” can’t seem to overcome, so anything else is really beside the point to me. This stuff is great, even for my sensitive skin, even and especially after Derma-rolling. I highly recommend it. P.S. - like some reviewers, when I first opened my jar, there was a “hole” that went straight from the top of the cream to the bottom of the jar so that I wondered if I’d been gipped. But by the next use it had filled in and honestly, you get a pretty generous amount of a really great product for $20. I hope they keep offering this same high quality product and they don’t try to pull a fast one like some other companies do once they’ve attained a loyal following. Just keep up the good work and appreciate your customers like we appreciate your product.

What is to not like about a face lotion that is rich and creamy, not sticky and smells incredible? I use this stuff and my kids, husband and even dog love the smell. I seriously have to stop my dog from licking this stuff off my face. I have always gotten the fig and honeysuckle. I use retinol so after I put retinol on, I put a very very very thick layer on my face to help my skin not dry out. I also use it in the mornings. I just rinse my face with water then put a thin layer on. Let that dry and then add another layer to the areas that are dryer and it soaks in perfectly. It seems impossible that with such a thick, creamy lotion that it wouldn't be greasy, but it's not. Even when I put a ton on--I love this stuff! Also, the best part, is obviously the fact it's not toxic. I can't believe this stuff isn't exploding on social media. It's amazing!

I loved the scent at first, but when you use it daily, it becomes too much. Very moisturizing and the product will go a long way. Great for winter months. I would suggest using it as an overnight cream, due to taking a long time to soak in. I would purchase in a different scent next time.

This face cream is delicious! Light, with an intoxicating yet subtle fragrance; I need very little product to smooth on, and my skin feels instantly refreshed and moisturized. Not a bad price for the volume.

I love this face cream. I'm about to open what I believe is my third jar? I use a gel moisturizer and then this one. It's a thicker, creamer consistency. I am perpetually dehydrated and as a result, so is my skin. I feel like this cream helps moisturize my dry face, and any tightness I feel prior to using goes away.I am in my early 30s and starting to work on the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles that have started to show. I have those forehead lines from raising my eyebrows and I truly feel this has helped minimize their appearance.Even being such a rich cream, I have not broken out or had any pore congestion. Scent is also very pleasant, light, not overpowering in the slightest. I feel I smell more of the cream scent than any fragrance.

The product looks like it has been dropped several times on its way to me. There was no protection for the jar, not even a seal on it. Or plastic wrap around it. The product was all over itself and in the prime package. I wanted to gift this to a family member within a week and now I can’t return it fast enough so I’ll end up using it myself, however I’m disappointed that this happened and now I still have to go get a different gift.The product smells mostly almond over all which I enjoy but I wanted It to smell equally both grapefruit and almond.The product is a nice texture for a cream I expected it to be lightly oily when applied but it wasn’t. (Also it’s winter, my skins dryyy and I live in a home with a wood burning stove.) so much needed moisture.The jar is attractive and I’m happy with the ingredients used. I think I’ll be enjoying it.*I’ll update my review after I’ve used it more.

I can’t say enough good things about this face cream. It can be used both morning and night. Its smell is a light rose smell which is intoxicating. I love it. It’s thick and I was a bit skeptical that it might be greasy feeling. I was relieved that it wasn’t. This cream is a perfect balance of moisture and not the kind that is greasy and sits on your skin. This stuff soaks in giving your face a beautiful dewy glow. I have used hundreds of different brands of face creams and found some that I thought were good. Unfortunately most of them are toxic and have some nasty chemicals in them. This stuff is all natural, so that makes you feel even better when you use it. I will say a little goes a long way so you don’t need a lot to get the moisture your skin needs. I will definitely be buying this brand from now on. That’s how much I love it!
