Why I love it...
When I first went cruelty-free, one of the initial challenges was finding the right facial moisturizer. I have pretty even, normal skin, and finding something that moisturized without leaving my skin greasy and shiny wasn't the easiest (just like my pre-cruelty-free days -- I used a Neutrogena facial moisturizer for years, which is NOT cruelty-free). I've tried several facial moisturizers in the years since, but Alba Botanica Even Advanced is by far my favorite. Just a nickel sized dollop does the job and leaves my skin feeling nice and moisturized. The lotion soaks in quickly so I can apply it out of the shower and start doing my makeup almost immediately after. This moisturizer does have a scent, but it's very light. Each tube lasts me about 4 to 6 months.
Where to buy...
I purchased my most recent supply from Soap.com: Two 2 oz. tubes cost about $26.00, or $13.00 apiece (on sale). Online retail prices as of this post run from about $10 to $17 and this moisturizer can be purchased at most chain pharmacies, Amazon, Target or Soap.com among others. A quick search can usually net you an online retailer selling at a discount, or you can go to the product directly on AlbaBotanica.com and either buy directly ($16.99) or click 'Find Store' underneath the product and find it in a brick and mortar location near you.
