Correctionist Daily Light Moisturizer SPF 15

Correctionist Daily Light Moisture is manufactured by American International Industries and marketed and sold by Sally Beauty.

This cream is a wonderful addition to the Correctionist line. The texture is thicker than a serum and lighter than a cream. The scent is light, delicate and gender neutral, not at all overpowering but clean and fresh. It absorbs very quickly and leaves my skin moisturized without feeling coated or heavy. I actually use it over my Mastey de Paris Moiste Facial Moisturizer for added protection when I will be outside for long periods of time. It makes my skin dewy but not overly shiny and makes it feel soft and smooth.

I like that it contains peptides and anti-oxidants. I also appreciate the fact it is not in jar packaging which only allows air to degrade the anti-oxidants. Jar packaging may look pretty but does nothing to preserve the efficacy of the ingredients. Whether or not peptides help the skin is still debated as there have been few independant studies done on them but more and more manufacturers are including them in their products.

While it has not caused me to breakout, because it contains Stearic Acid and Shea Butter, acne prone individuals might want to proceed with caution until they see how their skin will react to it as there are those who believe Stearic Acid and Shea Butter may contribute to breakouts.

Some of the benefits of this formula according to the Sally Beauty website include: Balances and tones with Toni Skin .01%, Repairs skin damage with Detoxyl .05%, Reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles with Matrixyl 3000 .01%.
