Review: Klapp X-Treme Hydra Complete




What Klapp claims:

X-TREME HYDRA COMPLETE contains low molecular as well as high molecular hyaluronic acid as its highly effective ingredient. THE moisture care with Nano- and Retard Technologies of the 21st Century. It refills the skin's moisture depots and protects it against moisture loss. The result is a smooth, firm and fresh skin. 


My thoughts:

The texture is more liquidy and gel alike so you don't need much product even when you use it for your whole face. It moisturises and hydrates really well, but for my skin it isn't enough. After applying I feel the urge to use another moisturiser on top otherwise my skin will dry out over night (I tried it). Furthermore this product contains an ingredient which irritates my skin on days when it is more sensitive. It iches and even burns so I can't use it. The criterion for exclusion is the fact that it doesn't moisturises as much as I hoped it would and I don't see a point in paying 38£ (59$, 47€).

Review: L'Oreal Hydra Active 3

Hello Beauty Junkies ~

Normally I use my Vichy Aqualia Thermal as my daily moisturiser, but I wanted to try out a drug store product, so I bought this:





L'Oreal Hydra Active 3. It's another version of the Hydrafresh moisturiser for dry and sensitive skin which you get in the UK and I think also in the US.
Even when my skin tends to break out sometimes, it's more on the dryer site and can be really sensitive.



Why did I bought this one and not another drug store product? Well my mum had this too so when I stayed at my parent's house the last time I tried it out a few times (sorry mum) and liked it a lot.

L'Oreal Hydra Active 3 is a good quality moisturiser, it is easy to apply which you can use both as a day and night time moisturiser. It spreads pretty smoothly, it isn't greasy and has SP 15 - which isn't high but it's better than nothing and definitely a benefit. Nevertheless for me it's too heavy to use it in the morning, I have the feeling my skin can't absorb the cream quickly enough for me to apply foundation afterwards.
My skin feels smooth and hydrated, this moisturiser is a good deal for a drug store product. I often apply it in the evening after showering and wake up with a really nice skin in the morning. Furthermore it doesn't break me out.

So all in all it's a great moisturiser for less money, but when you need more moisture you should choose another cream.
