Today I wanted to review my absolute favorite "new" product of the summer: my moisturizer! I promise it isn't boring, however: this is an on-trend product and I definitely understand why it is.
Without further ado, here is my review of HydraLife Créme Sorbet Pro-Jeunesse (or "Pro-Youth" depending on your branding and language).
My normal go-to moisturizer is Chanel HydraBeauty Gel Creme, so I am not surprised that Dior's competing Hydra line has really been made to compete. This moisturizer is amazing.
I'll spoil it now -- I think the Dior is my new favorite, even over the HydraBeauty. My main critique with face products in general, and this extends even to the Chanel, is that I pathologically hate the wait time for products to work their way into my skin. I am not (and I repeat, not) a morning person, so more often than not, I'm a hot mess in the morning when I'm running to work: wake up, robotically apply makeup, grab the day's clothes, feed cat, coffee... all in about 10-15 minutes. I'm still working on trying to give myself more time in the morning to be a bit more relaxed, but practically, when I'm sitting there waiting for the Chanel (+serums +eye cream +sunscreen +everything else) to absorb into my skin, I'm already having to catch the train, so half of the time moisturizer just got swirled into my foundation.
This is not the case with the Dior. I think it's in the "sorbet" texture, but this absorbs so damned fast, and my skin drinks it up and loves it. I have awful combation normal (not quite dry) to oily/breakout skin, but universally all of the skin types on my face seem to even out and very much enjoy this product. I definitely see reduced oil, particularly on my forehead, and even in the summer humidity, and I've had fewer breakouts in the normal/dry(ish) skin. There's a really light and clean fragrance as well -- I know some hate products with a scent, but (just like with the Chanel) the elegant smells kind of make my morning.
In full disclosure, I have been going off of the copious samples I'd picked up over the spring, so I haven't bought the full-size yet, but as far as what I've seen so far, this really cannot be beat. It's my new day moisturizer, and I really want to explore more of the line.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried any more of the chiffon/sorbet/whip face products on the market right now? Share them below!
You can pick up this product at any department store that carries the Dior line, or directly from Dior here. It lasts a long time, so it's actually not a bad price!
This product was not supplied by the manufacturer or retailer for review and I do not receive any benefit if you purchase the product.
