Ever since I was more aware about the ingredients used, I tend to avoid products with synthetic or chemical ingredients. Most chemical moisturizers contain petroleum by-product ingredients like silicone, dimethicone, and other products ending in '-one' to make the skin's surface feel soft, smooth and silky.
As mentioned in my review on shampoos & conditioners, these ingredients coats the skin keeping the moisture in but at the same time, can also clog your pores and trap in sebum, dirt and bacteria, thus causing breakouts and allergic reactions in the long run.
Today, I have 2 skin care products that I have added to my regime besides Blissoma SMOOTH, A+ SERUM and they are from...
The first one is Human Nature's Sunflower Beauty Oil:

I'm the kind of lady that likes my product to be as "multi-talented" as possible, when Christine from Human Nature recommended me this beauty oil and I read up on its multiple uses, I was sold!
I like that despite it being an oil, it absorbs well into my skin! I have been using this oil on the ends of my hair, on my legs after shaving, any area of my body that feels dehydrate and even as a makeup remover! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft every morning! However, I dont find it effective in lightening dark circles, scars or stretchmarks.
The second product that I used is this 100% Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with Plant Collagen:
To Use:
After cleansing and toning, smooth a pea-sized amount onto your face. Gently massage until fully absorbed by your skin.
VERDICT
Texture: Light creamy texture, absorbs into skin relatively well

I was a little septic of this product initially because it was too affordable to be that~ good... BUT I was blown away! Every morning after using this, I wake up to find that my scars are lighter, my skin looks more supple and my skin feels soft and smoother!
Currently, I use Blissoma SMOOTH, A+ SERUM on nights when I have breakouts (Yes, I still do due to hormonal unbalance) and I use this Human Nature Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with Plant Collagen on nights to speed up my scar healing process and if I have an event the next day!
Sometimes, my skin gets really good that I can skip concealer & foundation and just use BB cream or powder over for some SPF love! For someone with a history with sever acne, skin like this is a dream! Haha!
Dont believe? Here are some photos I took with no makeup on!
