Hydrated and glowy skin.

Amazing radiance moisturizer. As someone in her late thirties I am all about taking care of my skin. I tend to have dry skin and this keeps my skin so moisturized and glowing. I love that this gives you that glass skin look without any greasy feeling. It soaks into the skin very nicely and doesn’t irritate my skin. Overall I think this moisturizer is very effective.

A hydrating cream that gives my skin a healthy glow. Maybe not for acne-prone skin.

This is a richer cream, but it spreads easily and absorbs well without leaving my skin feeling greasy or heavy. A little goes a long way, and my skin feels soft and well hydrated after using it.This cream has some great skincare ingredients, but note that it appears comedogenic, so if you have acne-prone skin, use it with caution.What I like most is the finish. It gives my skin a noticeable healthy glow without looking oily or overly shiny. My skin also looks smoother and more refreshed, which I think is mostly from the added hydration. It works well under makeup and hasn't caused any pilling with the rest of my skincare.The formula has a nice lineup of ingredients, including collagen, PDRN, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, adenosine, and HPR. I wouldn't expect dramatic lifting or anti-aging results from a moisturizer after only a short period of use, but it does a good job of keeping my skin moisturized and making it look healthier.There is some fragrance, although I don't find it particularly strong or bothersome. Overall, this is a nice moisturizer if you want something a little richer that still absorbs well and gives your skin a natural-looking glow.

Thicker Moisturizer with Primer-Like Benefits

This Glow Lifting Radiance Cream is very nice. The formula is thicker than I was expecting, but it works into my skin very easily. I don’t notice anything glowy inside the tube like a pearl finish, but it does nicely hydrate my skin and prep it for makeup. My skin does look healthy and ready for makeup. This thicker formula lends itself to being a good moisturizer and primer combo, which I really like as well. I think this is worth a buy if you like a moisturizer that can also give some primer-like benefits. I do enjoy using this, and the light scent is nice.

Very Hydrating

I like this cream. While it is a bit difficult to apply due to how thick it is, it did feel very moisturizing and hydrating, especially under makeup. The consistency was thicker, like school glue for me. Once on, I was able to get It rubbed in evenly, it just took a bit more effort than a thin moisturizer but the payoff was noticeable and lasted all day until I washed my face in the evening. It does have a light fragrance (hence minus one star) but luckily it wasn't overpowering or irritating. I didn't notice any lifting effects, but again the non-greasy hydration it gave was really good. I also did not detect any sparkle or sheen to this, so I think the "radiance" comes from the hydrating finish vs. any illuminating ingredients or visible shimmer. I liked the packaging and feel it's a really good value for a skin care product.

Great overall face cream

This 1.69 fluid ounce glow lifting radiance cream by Alpen Moor is a great overall face cream. The differentiating ingredient is the peat water packed with natural trace minerals and organic compounds to calm and restore the skin. It's a European spa tradition using organic mud harvested from Alpine wetlands. Although this product is made in Korea.The other more unique ingredient is the next-generation retinoid that delivers the firming and line smoothing benefits of retinoic acid but with far less irritation.The cream comes in a thin, long tube and dipsenses in a very controllable way. It seems a bit thicker than typical moisturizers in a jar but smooths well enough and I think absorbs particularly well. You aren't left feeling sticky for hours afterwards. Also, it gives you a matte finish compared to many creams that leave you with a shine. I personally like the matte finish. I felt that after applying the cream, my skin felt like it had a firmer bounce to it.For the current price of $15 I think this is a great deal.

Great Moisturizer for Dry Skin, but the Fragrance Is Too Strong

I would have given this cream five stars if it weren’t for the added fragrance. As a moisturizer, it performs really well. It provides just the right amount of hydration for my dry skin without feeling heavy or making my pores feel clogged. It absorbs nicely, leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable, and has become a moisturizer that I genuinely enjoy using every day.I also happened to have a fairly bad breakout that lasted for about a month before I started using this cream. After about a week of incorporating it into my routine, my skin improved noticeably. I can’t say for certain that this moisturizer was the reason my breakout got better, since there could have been other factors involved, but it certainly didn’t make my skin worse and seemed to work well with my skin during that time.The biggest downside for me is the fragrance. I really wish skincare companies would stop adding perfume to facial products because I don’t think it’s necessary. Every time I apply this cream, I can clearly smell the fragrance, and it’s stronger than I would prefer. It doesn’t irritate my skin, but I find the scent distracting and unnecessary. If this moisturizer were available in a fragrance-free version, it would easily be a five-star product for me.

Definite Glow

This radiance lifting cream is probably meant to be worn by itself (not with make up over it at all). It is non greasy and blends in easily and you can definitely feel the skin tightening almost immediately. There is a real shimmer to the cream making it very light reflecting and definitely giving an immediate glowing look. The only downside is that to wear this by itself your skin really needs to look pretty good to start with as there is no color coverage at all. I will be using it just as a moisturizer more on days when I’m not going out because I do like it and the price is reasonable, but it doesn’t my my skin look good enough to go out without other makeup on too.(I did not have any issues wearing makeup over it at all - it worked just like refused moisturizer for that).

Hydrated, Glowing Skin

Alpen MOOR 1618 Glow Lifting Radiance Cream is a thicker face cream that feels good on my skin; so emollient it reminds me of the healing water creams (it does not indicate anywhere that it IS; it just reminds me of them), yet so gentle I have been able to wear it night and day for the past few days.This has been especially helpful when I have run into some uneven-looking skin (summer skin: I never know what it will do!) and dull, dry spots. Sometimes I need something to rev up my skin routine, and this just happened to land on my doorstep. This cream has all the good stuff: retinol, collagen, PDRN (which is a buzzy new ingredient purported to help skin rejeuvenation) and some gentle added fragrance, which I can barely notice (however, it is there, so keep in mind if you are sensitive to fragrance).This does help my skin feel bouncier and glow-ier. I think the added moisture helps my skin stay healthy and hydrated. I recommend this to virtually anyone. It is pleasant, smooth, and my skin does not react to it at all. It also does not take much to cover a lot of skin; the cream is quite emollient. This is an excellent price point for such an effective product. Highly recommended.

Leaves My Skin Glowing and Hydrated

I was interested to try this Glow Lifting Radiance Cream because I’ve had good results with skincare products that include collagen and PDRN, though I was initially unsure since it felt a little richer than the moisturizers I usually use. After trying it for about a week, I’ve found that it performs well. The cream has a smooth, fairly rich texture that spreads easily and feels comfortable on the skin without leaving a greasy finish. It absorbs well and layers under makeup without pilling, which makes it easy to use in both my morning and evening routine. The scent is very light and not distracting, which I appreciate in a daily moisturizer.On application, my skin looks a bit brighter and more even, with a subtle healthy glow rather than a shiny finish. Over the course of several days, I noticed that my skin felt more consistently hydrated and looked slightly smoother, especially in drier areas. It leaves my skin soft and comfortable throughout the day, and even though it is a richer cream, it still feels breathable once it has settled in. A small amount is enough for the face and neck, so the 1.69-ounce tube should last a while and seems like a solid value.After using it regularly for the past week, my skin appears a little more plump and refreshed, with a modest improvement in overall texture and firmness. It has fit well into my routine, and I would recommend it if you’re looking for a moisturizer that provides dependable hydration, a noticeable but natural-looking glow, and good compatibility with makeup.

Lovely

First off the fragrance it’s very subtle and for me it’s the kind of fragrance I like a soft vaguely floral fragrance. The texture of this cream is a little bit like Elmers glue, but it absorbs into the face very quickly. It does not feel like glue on the face. It’s almost like a wax layer. It definitely feels like it protects my skin and it has ingredients that I look for to moisturize and improve texture such as niacinamide .It’s a very gentle cream and I have relatively sensitive skin, so I noticed no irritation at all. Just a nice skin barrier that keeps the moisture inside through the day.Blends well with other daily products , overall I think this is fantastic product.

The cream has a smooth, silky texture that absorbs nicely into my skin without leaving a greasy or heavy feeling.After applying it, my skin feels softer, more hydrated, and looks refreshed with a natural-looking glow. I love how it helps create a smoother, more radiant appearance and gives my skin a nourished, healthy finish. The elegant packaging also makes it feel like a premium skincare product.A little product goes a long way, and it layers well with my other skincare steps. This is a great addition for anyone looking for a moisturizer that leaves skin feeling pampered while enhancing a youthful, luminous look.

Alpen MOOR 1618 Glow Lifting Radiance Cream

I recently fell in love with Alpen Moor 1618 skincare products and recently ordered the Glow Lifting Radiance Cream. This is a 1.69 ounce tube that its longer and thinner in size and is really cute. It is designed to hydrate, increase skin’s firmness, elasticity, and give skin an instant and long lasting glow. It’s formulated with a really incredible line of ingredients - a powerhouse I’d say. That includes ultra low molecular collagen, real PDRN, 4th generation retinoid, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, adenosine and so much more. This is a cream that is a bit on the heavier side but massages into my skin nicely. As I apply it, my skin immediately feels a surge in hydration and the glow is instant and if I don’t use makeup afterwards, the glow lasts for hours on end. The glowiness is something I am constantly chasing in skincare and this one is incredible!! As much as I love the glow, I also love bouncy skin and the way my cheeks bounce with this - it’s just all so impressive. This instantly became a new favorite! While it will take longer to see any other anti-aging benefits, I am so excited to have added this to my routine, and have not had any adverse reactions at all. I love it! And, this is the most affordable I’ve seen it priced, so I would recommend jumping on it!

A hydrating cream that noticeably softened the look of my fine lines

I was curious about this cream because it claims to give skin a radiant "glass skin" look. While I'm over 60 and didn't suddenly end up with perfectly smooth, glass-like skin (I don't think any cream can honestly do that), I was pleasantly surprised by what I did notice.About 40 minutes after applying it, my skin felt well hydrated and looked brighter. The biggest difference was around my mouth, where some of my finer wrinkles were noticeably softened and much less obvious. My skin felt comfortable without being greasy or sticky, and the finish gave me a healthy, natural-looking glow.The formula contains several well-known moisturizing ingredients, including multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, collagen, and a gentle vitamin A derivative, which likely all contribute to the smoothing effect. Despite my fair, somewhat sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation.Overall, I found this to be an excellent daytime moisturizer that leaves my skin looking fresher and more hydrated. While it didn't create "glass skin" for me, it did make my complexion appear smoother and brighter, and I'll keep using it.

Very hydrating but takes time to sink in

It gives a nice natural glow and keeps my skin from drying out. Just keep in mind that it forms a bit barrier that takes a while to absorb. I prefer using it in my evening routine instead of under morning makeup, but overall it is a solid moisturizer.

If u love it stick with it!

Well I had bought another brand about a month ago, I loved it, it made your face feel awesome!! But it was a small container and went very quickly! So I ordered a cheaper brand, well the saying

You get what u pay for is true because this one is good but definitely not the same as the the

First!! My skin is shiny rather than soft and dewy!
