What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream
3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth, non-greasy, semi-matte finish
  • Effective daily moisturizer, especially for dry skin in harsh climates
  • Jar packaging lets users get every bit of product out
Reviewers push back
  • Contains fragrance, which can irritate sensitive or fragrance-allergic skin
  • Dermatologists question whether peptides and marketed 'sculpting' claims have real backing
  • Can cause flaking or surface cell turnover reactions when first used
Reviewers see this as a solid, lightweight cream that hydrates well and works well layered with actives, though the anti-aging claims outrun the evidence.
— best for: People with dry or dehydrated skin who want a lightweight, fragranced daily moisturizer that can also layer under or with active serums.
The Water Cream
across 5 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Lightweight gel texture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy
  • Noticeable hydration burst on application, described as cooling and refreshing
  • Pleasant, non-overpowering scent
Reviewers push back
  • Contains a notably high concentration of gold, which can act as a skin sensitizer for some users
  • Sold in very small sizes relative to how much product is used
  • One reviewer felt it was not the strongest product in the brand's lineup
Reviewers largely praise the gel-cream's lightweight hydration and skin feel, though one detailed ingredient breakdown flags gold and formulation concerns.
— best for: People with normal to oily skin who want a fast-absorbing, hydrating daytime gel-cream with a pleasant sensory experience.

My skin has really needed an extra boost of nourishment and hydration in the daytime as it's been dry since the weather turned colder. When you open the jar, you are met with a gorgeous rich cream. It is powered by Microsculpting Technology, crafted with power peptides and 99% pure Niacinamide to visibly regenerate skin. It's also dermatologist tested, approved by the Skin Health Alliance and frag Anita · walmart.com

I recommend. It's lightweight. I now associate the light scent with a feeling of clean, fresh and hydrated skin. The way it feels going on is unique and interesting, at first it feels smooth like water but as it spreads over your face you can really feel the transference of moisture, and that hydration lasts me all day. Love it. OriginalLivster · sephora.com
