I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Leaves skin quite sticky
- Doesn't seem to absorb well, more like stays on top
- I use this cream in place of sleeping packs/night creams and in the morning it feels a bit... slippery, slimy when I touch my forehead, different feeling from using The Body Shop's Bouncy Sleeping Mask (not a big problem, just weird)
- Doesn't provide any immediate effects (yeah I know I'm always after those) like brightening it promises
- For a day cream bad choice, so sticky and doesn't work with make-up (maybe if I would put this only to my cheeks that are dryer and where I don't usually put foundation?)
- Leaves skin somewhat shiny as well, not greasy
- The product didn't have a foil between the cap and tube (even though the cap has the sharp part that is meant to break the foil in pharmacy products)
- EDIT: Even though the metallic tube looks cool and keeps the product fresh, when you actually have to squeeze it (when it's ending) the sharp edges rip
+ Has no smell whatsoever, like... completely nothing (Benton's products are unfragranced but share the same stuffy smell, Missha cream is truly just nothing)
+ Doesn't irritate, tingle, feels like... nothing, really
+ Moisturises surprisingly well on its own, but still it's not quite there, like it's ok but I always add something else unless my skin is acting up (like rash)
+ So, I have noticed, this cream is great for soothing the skin and is a very safe option after actives (aloe gels don't feel soothing to me)
+ I did notice when I got it and used for a couple of nights (or a week?) my skin felt like it was more in balance, it felt more comfortable during the day with lighter moisturizer and make-up

* I am now almost half-way with this cream and thought that I'm going to already review it as I don't think my opinion will change
* Madecanol Cream is really inoffensive, safe, working product, no matter my current skin condition I can always trust it not to annoy my skin further
* I would be interested in trying Missha's Near Skin Ceramide Cream as well, and other products from the lineup
* I rather like the look of the tube, how it mimics dermatology cosmetics and looks like I bought it from the pharmacy, also how it asks you to write the date you opened it on the tube is a great reminder
* I think the tube can last up to 3-4 months if used only during nights, however I think I'll be done in 2,5 because I like slathering it on too much as no one will see me during nights and because I just like it
* Also the consistency of the cream is quite thick when it comes from the tube, it does melt on the skin after that but initially you always end up squeezing too much
* EDIT: Added a couple of photos as it seems like surprisingly many people are interested in this Madecanol Cream and photos are probably more useful to you than my rambling!

Price:
14.20 USD / 50 ml
Bought from:
Ebay seller ibuybeauti
Buy again?
Good question! I mean, it's been everything that I bought it for, works fine, but it's not dazzling, exciting, beautiful miracle thing. I feel conflicted! Maybe. A safe option is always good to have.
Worth the money?
For me, in the end, yes. For other people? If you don't need soothing, don't have problems with skin's moisture barrier, don't like sticky, want to use this during a day, or if you have a very oily skin... this cream will most likely not work for you. Also there are lots of options for soothing creams in this price range.
