Mario Badescu Kera moisturizer

By: Jessica B.

Along with sensitive skin and rosacea, my skin is also very dry. I know, I’m a dermatologists’ dream! Anyhow, after I moved on from Clinique’s daily moisturizer, I wanted one specifically to wear at night, that would keep my face moisturized but wouldn’t be too heavy.

So here’s the one I love and recommend!

Mario Badescu Kera Moisturizer

How much it costs: $20 (for a 2 oz. container)

Where you can get it: Nordstrom, Mario Badescu.com

What I like about it: Lots! The moisturizer spreads well on your face and you definitely don’t need a lot to do the job. I apply it after I wash my face at night and my skin feels soft and smooth (like a baby’s bottom!) all night. Even if I don’t wash my face right away the next day, it still feels great. And it’s not very heavy so my skin doesn’t feel greasy or leave a greasy film on clothes, pillows, etc. Also, the container is recyclable plastic too.

What I don’t like about it: Sadly, this doesn’t have SPF so I wouldn’t recommend it during the day, unless you have SPF in your foundation, etc. It is a little pricy too, but if you don’t use too much of it when applying, it does last.

Do you use a specific moisturizer for night? And if so, what kind do you like?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I’m dissatisfied with my most recent moisturizer purchase (Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream) and I’m ready to try something new. Here I come Mario!

    Since moving to Chicago last year my skin has been sooo dry. I have been on a constant search for a moisturizer that will help my sensitive, rosacea-prone, dry skin (sound familiar??) I will definitely give this a try!!

    I’ve heard that it’s better not to wear SPF at night because it can build up or clog your pores or something. So this is actually perfect for nighttime!
