Product Review A little shout out to mixa panthenol
I recently have been dealing with really dry dehydrated skin and waking up to the crazy forehead lines where my face looked like I have that tiktok aged filter on. The change in weather and overuse of actives had left parts of my skin barrier red and damaged.
I have used different moisturizer, oil and even layered moisturizer at night and it still looked a little dry when I woke up. Avene cicaflate- did heal my skin barrier but I needed something. More moisturizing.
Mixa ceramide was out of stock and got the. Pathenol one as I have heard good reviews from the brand and this girl is on a budget and have mild eczema so this product is eczema friendly.
I have used nothing in the night, just the mixa cream on freshly washed skin and noticed after 3-4 days that I wasn't waking up to really dry dehydrated skin any I'm quite impressed.
The cream is the tub is quite light and sinks in to the skin, face looks quenched and moisturised without forming a thin film on the skin.
I wish the cream was a little bit thicker but it still does the job. It's been more than a week and I haven't noticed any clogged pores or breakouts and I 'm impressed by this 10$ tub. Just good moisturized skin.
Doesn't have any fragrance so it's a win for me.
skin type: combination skin
purchased for 10$ at CW, could be even cheaper when it goes on 1/2 price.

I love this brand. I've got the urea body lotion which has been great for KP on my arms, and I'm using the ceramides cream on my face and am hydrated and happy.

I have kp on my arms as well so would be purchasing it next. Does the urea lotion have a stronger fragrance?

It doesn't have a fragrance at all, it just kind of smells like the product if that makes sense. I hope you like it ❤️

I’ve been using Mixa cica+ balm as a dupe for the LRP cicabaume and there is almost no difference. Mixa is a little gloopier but that’s fine as i’m Slathering it on at bedtime.

I’ve been alternating between the Mixa Panthenol and Ceramide creams (bought on sale from Chemist Warehouse), mixing them with a few drops of Timeless Squalane Oil (from Lila Beauty).

Totally agree its very nice. Try the Mixa Urea for when you get the change to dry flakey winter skin. The urea draws water to the skin while also gently exfoliates the dead flakey skin. I have so far had no issues with using it on my face

I use the ceramides in the tub and i love it. I bought the urea one for my daughters KP, but it stinks!

I’ve been using the niacinamide bright and super impressed. It’s a massive tub and a little goes a long way.
