Mac Moisturizer Review

For such a long time I have been trying to find a good moisturizer that will help with my combination/oily/acne prone skin and I have to say, I think I have finally found it! For the past month, I have been using the Mac Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel and it has been helping my skin combat oil and dryness which a lot of other moisturizers I have used before has yet to do so. Here is my review of the Mac Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel.



Pros:

This moisturizer has helped me tremendously in combating oil. During the mornings, my skin is usually more dry, then towards the end of the day, my face becomes really oily, especially in the t-zone so I would normally have to blot a few times a day, but since using this product, I only have to blot 1-2 times a day. A lot of this has to do with the fact that this moisturizer is a gel consistency so it is really lightweight therefore, it doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy at all like traditional moisturizers.


Cons:

Before purchasing this product, one of the problems I had was the packaging. Because it comes in a tub rather than a container with a pump, I was a little hesitant due to sanitary reasons. Having to use a spatula or your finger to get the product out can lead to bacteria getting in, but I am glad it didn't hold me back from purchasing because putting the packaging aside, this is a really good product. Another thing about this moisturizer that I forgot to mention is that it does not contain any SPF so if you're going to be outside for a long amount of time, I would recommend wearing sunscreen over the moisturizer or maybe perhaps going with another moisturizer that contains SPF. Lastly, this moisturizer is one the most expensive moisturizers I have ever bought, retailing at $37.00. That is a lot of money, but for the amount of product that it comes with and for the results it performs, it was well worth my money and I would definitely be repurchasing whenever I run out, which will be a few months from now.
