I have been using Bel Essence cream as a moisturizer and my skin looks terrific. Please explain the difference in the cream and the oil and how each should be used.

Many chemical substances are more stable in oil than it cream. Also oil is a better vehicle for skin penetration that cream . Vitamins and peptides are are more stable and better absorbed in oil. Skin not prone to acne absorbs oil better than acne prone skin . Sometimes dry oil is a good choice in acne prone skin.

I have never tried the cream. When I inquired a similar question to the manufacturer their reply: "it is just preference." If you use one, you don't use the other.

I use it as a moisturizer as per my dermatologists instructions. You just wash your face with whatever you usually would bit absorbs well and isn't greasy.

We've only used the emu oil, so not sure. The oil is pure emu oil - don't know if the cream is.

I use both together or separately, depends on time of day. Squalane makes you everyday face cream wokr better as a moisturizer.

Im on my 2nd bottle of lotion/cream whereas I only bought 1 bottle of the oil. I like the lotion better. I even started blending the buckthorn lotion with Cerave PM for extra moisturizing and smooth look. The oil left me just a tiny bit dry

Oil moistens and the cream seals in that moisture from the oil. Both are important and work well together.

I am guessing that the "super" lotion you refer to has more moisturizing properties--since the one I have mentions that you may use it with other moisturizers. I am not familiar with the product you mention, and since there are no Amazon reviews, I am guessing that it is a new product. I would go for it! I am due to replenish my supply of the moisturizer since I will need more for the winter months--so I just may get the one that you have mentioned. Good luck!

This is just a guess since I only use the cream-- I suspect that the oil takes awhile longer to absorb into the skin, therefore better to use at night when you have the time available to let it absorb.

I actually have really oily skin on my face and I have found that the more often you moisturize, the less oily your skin will be. Yes, this works very well with my skin :)

My wife only uses Premier Concentrated Facial Cream in the green bottle and the Premier Biox Internsive Age defying cream in the round silver and red jar during the day and not at night. She alternates usage! She never uses them both at the same time.

I'm not sure, I use the cream as my daily moisturizer. It really keeps my face hydrated, so hydrated there's no need to use a moisturizer. Hope this helps!

I use coconut oil for everything, but some people do have irritation with using it as a moisturizer, especially on the face. I normally add it to shea butter, but you definitely can use it alone as a moisturizer. Try it on a little area first for 24 hours and see how it goes. Also, as another reviewer said- a little goes a long way so start out with a small amount and give it time to soak in. It does have "sunscreen-like" properties, but nothing strong enough to really protect you from the sun.

hi i started my cetaphyl cream from my dermatalogist and loved it--i could not find the product in drugstores always gone. so i got mine on the internet and look at different sites you will find it cheaper.they all do their job-find the one you like--the moisturising for daily use is my favorite and body lotion which comes in 2 different labels read the front. i have found my cream on a special on the internet, no more drugstore purchases.good product i cannot remember what i payed exactly,sorry

Hi EJ, I can't really answer this as I tossed my face cream after a couple of weeks. I was not at all happy with it. I felt it had absolutely no moisturizing component at all and given that no matterwhat it was otherwise if was of use to me.

I have oily skin, so I use the serum morning and night. But, the firming cream before bed. You should be able to use them both together. Depending on how much moisturizing you need.
