Mychelle Pumpkin Renew Cream

I was searching for a moisturising and natural-type cream for daily use following a tryst with a Chanel Hydramax cream. I loved the hydration from Chanel but hated the price and the chemicals. Eventually I found Mychelle. It is pricey but it smells so organic and good and yummy- like pumpkin seeds. Thing is though, it actually hydrates my skin and has sorted out the redness around my nose. I had a red face for about 10 years, people used to ask me what was wrong and they would suggest all sorts of health problems that I might have. [This made me miserable!] In the end, the lady at Chanel told me it was dryness. The Chanel product sorted that but I wanted to continue the hydration, yet go natural. So far (3 months later), Mychelle Pumpkin cream is my holy grail. Since I have started using it, I don't even use foundation as my skin looks and feels so happy. My guess is that it only works on certain skin types. I have very porcelain, light olive skin with a high need for moisturation.

Okay but this is not the same unscented pumpkin renewal cream they sold in the U.K. That one was amazing for my skin and very softening. Can you start selling in U.K. stores again?

I'll admit it: other than the lack of parabens and chemicals, I was attracted to Mychelle's pumpkin products because I love all things pumpkin. From food to candles, I'm a sucker for the gourd. Imagine my pleasant surprise, though, when I came to love this one! I have previously used various moisturizers from Kiss My Face and Burt's Bees. I would compare this to a lighter, almost more whipped version of Burt's carrot creme. They both are fantastic for dry winter skin (I get particularly dry around my nose). Like the Burt's this product does take a little while to absorb, but I found it much less greasy than the Burt's. Mychelle offers this cream in an unscented version, but honestly the scent of the regular is quite mild and pleasant. Not at all like a baked good! The color is a mild light green, and I find one pot lasts a long while. My only complaint would be the packaging, and it's not enough to warrant removing a star. I dropped the glass jar once on my bathroom floor, and needless to say it was toast. It's easy to get the cream out of the jar (easier than in a plastic tube), but just try to avoid being a klutz like me. In the past I bought my Mychelle products from online skincare retailers when they offered a coupon code. Amazon's subscribe & save price has them beat!

I love this product. I used it in a Mychelle tester and fell in love. The scent smells like a cosmetic rendition of pumpkin pie. I guess they really wanted to emphasize the pumpkin content in it. It works really well on the skin and can be used definitely day or night. I am 20 with combination skin and this works well. You only need to dip your finger in it to cover your whole face effectively - seriously, with this less is more. It really moisturizes well and that means a lot coming from me. I can definitely see this working to prevent any fine lines and wrinkles. This is somewhat mattefying and keeps skin looking supple and healthy. I really love it and surprisingly it holds up when it comes to how long it lasts. I had reservations about spending so much for a small quantity, but I use it morning and night and 6 weeks in I have half a jar left, maybe more. The scent is so light but last all day. You will be able to smell it here and there and when your washing your face off at the end of the day in the shower. It's a gender neutral scent I would say definitely. But as a male, I like my own colognes and products so next time I purchase I will buy the unscented version.

I've been using this face cream for years after a sudden allergy developed to a L'Oréal face cream product that left my cheeks burning and bright red for 3 days straight - even water was torture! I've strayed over the years and always come back to this. I always have it on hand. I have never had any problems with it in regards to skin reactions or otherwise - it really is for sensitive skin! I've used this when I lived in the humid midwest and now I live by it in CO, a very dry climate, it's performance for moisture is stellar. I've never had issue with layering it with other products or makeup either, and it isn't greasy (I have combo skin) but keeps your face feeling moisturized and soft all day. If you're on the fence about trying this, just go for it! Like others have said, it leaves an almost dewey appearance at first, but give it a few and it'll absorb right in. It does help calm my redness and doesn't seem to affect my pores, I don't break out more from this cream. I would say apply another layer or use more next time if your skin still feels tight or dry after using this - it is a little thinner than typical creams but that shouldn't deter you from trying it. Does not leave face greasy or shiny, in my oily areas this doesn't make it worse.

This is the first moisturizer that I have been able to use which hydrates and does not make me break out! I love this stuff! I'm super sensitive when it comes to anything for my face/skin. I break out to so many products, so I've never been one to use a moisturizer. But now I can!!! YAY!!! It comes in a glass jar and has a nice fragrance, but is not overwhelming. It's a heavier moisturizer, but it soaks in and does not leave a greasy residue on your skin. I will tell you, that when you skin is pretty dry, you will notice an exfoliating of dead skin, if you rub too hard. I notice on days my skin tends to be dryer than others. I use the MyChelle Dermaceuticals Ultra Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum for Dry Skin prior to using the renew cream and my skin has been amazing! Often so good that I don't even bother putting on foundation, as my skin is clear and soft. Others might not agree, but I feel confident enough to leave the house without makeup.

I have used this skin cream everyday for the past 5 years and haven't had the need to try another one. I had a little bit of acne and I found this cream clears it up, keeps my skin soft and moisturized, but never oily. I only get a few acne spots when I experience some hormonal changes, which seems unavoidable and no product can change that. I do believe this is the perfect cream. I have tried many brands before, but none since. MyChelle's other creams work decently, too, but left my skin feeling more oily, so I use this one for both night and day. I use the Pumpkin Renew Cream in combination with their White'Cranberry Cleanser and the variety of face masks they offer. I love this cream, their brand, and many of their other products because they work great for me. Every skin type is different so your experience might not be the same. Just for comparison I have fair-pinky skin with a tendency to be on the dry side with an oily T-zone area. This moisturizes for me and tends to even out my skin tone. The first day I used it someone mentioned my skin was glowing, which is totally cliche about skin creams, but this one really did it for me and years later still does.
