I am a huge skincare junkie. Sea buckthorn berry is becoming an increasingly popular ingredient in the skincare world and I have always heard fabulous things about Sibu Beauty. I was recently sent the Repair & Protect Nourishing Facial Cream and have been using it non-stop.
Sea buckthorn is nicknamed the “beauty berry” and has been linked to skin, nail, and hair benefits for ages. The berry itself contains over 190 bioactive compounds that aid in restoring, revitalizing and protecting youthfulness from the inside out. Some of those compounds being Omegas 3, 6, and 9; also antioxidants and essential fatty acids such as Omega-7. Sibu Beauty has in place a fair trade practice to harvest this beauty berry, which is only found in a harsh weather conditions and high altitudes. It is also cruelty free as well as vegan!
The packaging is nice! It comes in a frosted glass bottle with a terrific push-down pump. The fact that the jar is glass scares me just a bit because I am clumsy and I have tile floors in my bathroom, but so far so good! :) The pump allows for good control when dispensing the product! Overall I am a fan of the packaging.
This daytime cream has a light weightless formula that doesn’t leave me feeling wet or greasy; it sinks into the skin quickly. It leaves my face feeling soft and smooth. The scent is a mild citrus that is really refreshing.
I find that if I am in a hurry and I am slapping makeup on right over this cream it is fine, no change than if I had waited a few minutes before applying. I honestly have started using this in place of the moisturizer + primer that I was using, so to simplify it to one step is nice.
I’ve recently been using a lot of retinol products and that has left some dry patchy areas on my face. I find that the Repair & Protect cream really softens up those spots and leaves my face feeling comfortable. I will also mention that I do layer this over my retinol products and it helps to hold in moisture while the retinols are doing their job!
Sibu Beauty Repair & Protect Nourishing Facial Cream ($20.95) is fantastic and I am definitely interested in trying all of the other great things they have to offer! In particular I am interested in their Face & Body Bar! The fact that Sibu is ethical and vegan makes me feel comfortable using them for my skincare needs! You can purchase these products at sibubeauty.com and anywhere else that carries Sibu products!
