    Very emollient moisturizer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very thick and emollient, makes me feel like I am slugging a little bit but for a really dry skin girl it’s been nice. I do still have a dry skin patch on my face which is hard, not sure why this product didn’t help it. I was trying to find a dope for another product and for a quarter of the price it does well.

    Intense Barrier Damage

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in a terrible accident that left me with lots of bandages. Over time, my skin began to get irritated by the adhesive on the bandages. I broke out in a terrible rash. Unbeknownst to me, the rash was transmissible. Before I knew it, it was all over my face, my neck and my back. I tried treating with ointments, antibiotic creams, natural toners and lotions with aloe. A week later, my skin was severely damaged and it began to peel. I was getting frustrated. I was online desperately searching for something to help me. I came across the Bubble Barrier Cream. I stopped and thought. I have that. I use it in winter when my face gets dry. I went to the bathroom and gently wiped my face with warm water. It burned so badly. I applied the cream to my neck and face. There was a soothing sensation. I went to bed, got up in the morning and WOW! My whole face healed almost overnight! I repeated the process. At the beginning of day 3, my face and neck were COMPLETELY healed. It left me speechless. If you care about your skin, BUY this. It is AMAZING. I will never be without it!!!

    Bougie Nivea Creme?

    It literally reminds of the Nivea Creme and feels the same way, and I feel works the same way too, it just has better packaging.

    Just mid to me

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish it had a scent. Idk why. But it’s so stale smelling to me that I don’t enjoy using it. It is very thick too. I only use it on problem areas that have very dry skin. I wouldn’t buy it again.

    Nothing Like It

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very thick. Nighttime skin prep. Not greasy. It feels moisturizing on dry patches. Bonus is that it keeps my eyebrows set in place. The packaging is nice and I like how the product is dispensed.

    Not for me

    Wanted to love this but it made my sensitive/reactive skin red and tingly. It also has a bizarre rough and gritty texture - like smearing toothpaste on your face.

    Beautiful Formula

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to moisturizer during the colder months, it is a thicker moisturizer. When your looking for a combination of a lightweight but thicker formula this is your product. The base of this formula is not heavy on the skin. The projection of this moisturizer last all day, your skin feels soft and hydrated.

    okay

    this moisturizer is good and moisturizes your skin but it is thick and sticky and I know it's a balm but still also it ran out pretty fast and then you couldn't even turn it or get any more but overall decent product

    Dry skin solution!

    I’ve been using this about a week and I love it. I have sensitive skin and am acne prone, so far no issues! Lately my skin has been so tight, dry, and flat. Since using this my skin actually feels moisturized and that tight feeling is finally gone. I use all my normal products first then end with this.

    Amazed

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Waverly Surf moisturizer from Bubble Skincare, and I’m honestly really impressed. It’s super lightweight but still hydrates really well, which is perfect if you don’t like anything heavy or greasy on your face. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and fresh—not sticky at all. I also love that it gives a nice, healthy glow without looking oily. It’s been great for everyday use, especially under makeup. Another thing I appreciate is that it feels gentle on my skin and hasn’t caused any breakouts. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable moisturizer that actually does what it promises.

    Great Barrier Product!

    The Holy Grail

    This stuff is the absolute best barrier cream… ever! I started using tretinoin a couple of years ago and my skin was always peeling. I’ve used anything from drugstore barrier creams to expensive high end creams, but nothing seemed to work until I tried this! The peeling has finally stopped and my skin is GLOWING.
