Replenishing moisturizer that helps your complexion stay hydrated, calm, and bouncy, and leaves you with a dewy look
Vegan triple lipid complex of plant-derived fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides work together to strengthen the skin barrier, which helps preserve the skin’s moisture levels and shield it from external stressors
To use Slug Cream in a full slugging routine, apply after Slug Boost and before Slug Balm
Slugging is the practice of creating an occlusive layer over the skin to prevent water loss
Less water loss means more hydration, and more hydration means plump, juicy, healthy skin

Description
SLUG CREAM is like a big hug for your skin barrier, which is the protective outermost layer of your skin that helps your complexion stay hydrated, calm, and bouncy. Slug Cream conditions the skin and uses a vegan triple lipid complex to preserve moisture. Lipids are the important natural fats in our skin that hold the cells together in our skin barrier to maintain its integrity. Applying lipid-rich skincare like Slug Cream helps replenish and restore these healthy fats that may have been depleted due to external factors (like being in cold weather or using harsh products) or naturally over time (the skin’s ability to produce lipids decreases as we get older).
How to Use: Apply one to two pumps of SLUG CREAM and massage into the skin (don’t forget your neck!). For the FULL SLUG EFFECT, start with SLUG BOOST to prep clean skin with a moisture-rich watery essence. Follow with SLUG CREAM, then finish with SLUG BALM to seal in your skincare and maintain a strong barrier. Pro tip: In the morning, follow Slug Cream up with SPF.
How to Recycle: Slug Cream’s packaging is both made using recycled materials and recyclable. To recycle the componentry, first pop off the pump from the collar of the bottle (we’ve found twisting to be the best method). Rinse the insides and recycle all components. The box can be recycled as is; just flatten before putting it in the recycling bin.
While we can provide generalized guidelines, we recommend checking with your local recycling programs for specific details, as accepted materials can vary from city to city.

This is the first product I have been able to consistently use on my face, neck, and chest without getting breakouts. My skin feels refreshed, it has reduced a lot of my natural redness, and feels softer all around. The fact that it’s vegan is an added plus! Will be repurchasing!

It really hidrates and lets your skin breathe (i have oily combo skin). I had been struggling for years with so "hormonal acne"? And tried every serum i could look up that would help my acne and nothing, UNTIL i found this cream. I was walking by the aisle's and this brand cought my boyfriends attention and didn't think it would be a good product due to the flashy packaging but i needed a moisturizer and im glad i took this one. I stopped using serum and all that and sticked to basic soap (i use cetaphil gentle cleanser or neutrogena hidro boost) and cream and my skin healed so nicely, i don't break out like i used to. The only thing i dont like is that its more packaging than product but other than that 10/10!!

Overpriced basic moisturizer

This is just a light moisturizer, didn't stand out. It's over priced for being just a basic moisturizer. It's pretty thin and watery, I expected something thicker for dry skin. As soon as I wash the whole slugging system off my face, it's back to being dry and flaky. I have very sensitive skin, I get rashes with basically everything, this did not cause any reaction.

Didn’t break me out or irritate my skin; light moisturizer only. Better for day cream and oily combo skin, not as night cream or for dry skin! Packaging also not eco friendly/great for ensuring all the product is used up.

Genuinely one of the only products that didn’t turn my face bright red after use. Sensitive skin friendly and helps repair your moisture barrier! One pump will cover your face and leave a dewy bright look to your skin.

I’m actually really impressed with this line. I use this followed by the balm in the PM after applying my Tret. And I wake up with plump hydrated skin in the AM. My skin is so soft and smooth. If you are experiencing any dryness whether it’s from actives in your skincare, a skin condition or just the weather you should try this.

I have dermatitis and it shows up around my eyes, nose, and mouth. Right now it’s been really bad on my top lip, it’s very red and dry. I wanted to find something that worked so I don’t have to use steroid cream. I’ve tried so many things, and before this system I was using like 7-8 different products a day. I couldn’t do it anymore. Im so happy I found this. Its completely changed my skin. I cleanse with the Pacifica vegan milky cleanser 2-3 times a week, and I use micellar water every day. Then I go in with this system. I use it morning and night. To give it an extra little oof I add a few drop of jojoba oil to the slug cream. I also use a facial massage tool once I have all the products on. My skin looks so much better and feels great. I’ll definitely stick to these products. I will say, that’s I do need to use Vaseline around my lips throughout the day, but again, I have dermatitis. The only note I have, is I wish that the slug cream had more. I feel like I’m already running out, and I only used less than a pump every time. I really hope they come out with more products. Pictured is how much of the balm I used so far, and my lips before and after using the system.

I love this product! I use it as a night cream with the Slugging Balm and I wake up feeling so hydrated! My only complaint is that there isn’t a lot of product. I purchased this a little less than a month ago and I am almost out! I only use 0.5/1 pump. For $25, I wish there was a little more! I’m not a fan of the packaging either, though it’s super cute, I would like to see/feel how much product I have left. Wish it was in the same jar as the Slugging Balm, if not larger!

Love love love how moisturized and plump this makes my skin feel. Perfect lightweight night cream. I wish it was a little cheaper, but I’d still buy again imo.
Futurewise Slug Cream is a non greasy facial moisturizer. Between my daughter and myself we used the whole container. It works awesome. I like that it isn't heavily scented because a lot of creams smell funny to me. This is tolerable. At first it almost feels like your face is wet but then it absorbs and leaves my skin feeling soft.
Ive had issues with 'chub rub' or chafing for as long as i can remember so im pretty excited about this product! Love the name love what its used for. I havent had any issues since trying it! Bring on the summer heat waves im prepared!

Definitely a night time routine. When I woke up to wash my face in the morning it was soooo soft.
Fantastic moisturizer! My son had a cold recently, and the dry weather in Colorado made the skin around his mouth super chapped and painful. I loved that this is a barrier repair product. I used this on top of another product, and it healed his face overnight. I would recommend this to anyone with chapping or extremely dry skin. The top is a nice pump that dispenses a small amount at a time, and it does not have a strong fragrance.

Love the feel of the cream. It goes on very smooth and feels light on the skin. I'm ordering my second bottle now since I'm almost out. The packaging is super cute and feels great in my hands.
This stuff really is amazing! It comes in this cute little pump container. It could easily be transported everywhere. When I first put it on my hands, it felt greasy, and I was disappointed. I don’t like lotion for this reason. Really only a few seconds later, it like dissolved into my hands and it wasn’t oily! I seriously love this stuff!
