Moisturiser/Cream Toss Up 🤔

Hello hello, need some community weight in pretty please

I’ve been using the Purito bamboo cream as my go to moisturiser and I like it a lot.
But, I’ve been considering switching it up for the I Illiyoon lotion or the Illiyoon gel moisturiser.

Any thoughts on if the lotion is too heavy for oily-combo girlies? (I tried the cream and it was too much for me).

Should I stick with Purito or are either Illiyoon options worth switching up?

Thanks! 🩷

I unfortunately haven’t tried it yet but it has been on my list for ages! I think @CY_122 would be the best to answer this because I remember from her videos hearing many good things about this brand!

@Sienya I think you should give it a try. Maybe buy the smaller tube, if they have one. I use and love Illiyoon products! These two are currently sitting here on my desk with me at work. I have more at home.

Hi, I have used both. The illiyoon lotion is watery. It’s a bit more runny than the Purito mighty bamboo. Since winter is coming, Purito might be better. If it’s been working for your skin, you should stick with it, at least for the winter and try illiyoon lotion in the summer.

I like it a lot! I live sub-tropical (Australia) and usually find moisturisers stuffy, but even with a few layers of serums/toner I don’t find it to be too much. I lean oily-combo and sensitive, but this has a really short ingredient list and I find it to be really soothing especially on top of spicy skincare. I think a little goes a long way too. I wanted to try the Illiyoon one to see if lotion textures could work for me, cause in my experience gels are nice/refreshing but creams are too heavy.

@Sienya I have combo-oily and sensitive skin too. This summer in the US midwest we have a month or so where the humidity spikes due to "corn sweats." Because of monoculture, there's corn and soybeans everywhere releasing moisture into the air. I basically skip lotions or creams altogether and layer on milky toners instead. Otherwise I just feel like I'm under an oily blanket that's trapping heat.
