You will love the blue cocoon & for an extra layer of hydration you can use under your moisturizer
( I also use it when over retinol as well)
Let me know if you don't mind what you think about the Youth Dew
Well, I certainly hope I am going to love the blue cocoon at that price
I had a month long flu in December so my skin needs a little extra love and care, that is why I got it.
I have actually had the Youth Dew for about a month. It was a (crazy, full size) gift with purchase from Cultbeauty's best of the year goodiebag. At first, even though I thought it smelled and felt lovely, I didn't really expect to love it since it doesn't have any actives. I was also a little worried that the essential oils could be too much for my sometimes sensitive skin.
At first I only used it as a night treatment on nights when I didn't use either retinol or glycolic acid and I would wake up with such lovely and soft skin, clearer even. Since it was about -12°C here last week, I started using 2-3 drops under my moisturizer which was perfect and added a lovely glow to my skin. I don't know how to explain it but the Youth Dew seem to just balance my skin perfectly. And less is definitely more!
I used the Blue Cocoon last night and am using it again today as I'm staying home. It makes my skin feel very soft and has already calmed some redness. But whereas the Youth Dew sinks into my skin perfectly, the Blue Cocoon is aptly named because to me, it feels like a protective layer on the skin which is nice at night or today, when I'm staying in but it would be too much for me to wear under makeup.
The Blue cocoon is definitely a healing balm to calm irritated skin etc. Whereas I can use the Youth Dew day and night.
