QUESTIONS FOR THOSE WHO USE DR. DENESE PRODUCTS

I am on the search for a new moisturizer.  The Hydroshield Dream Cream is something I have been looking into. However, it says that you should use the Hydroshield Serum first for the best results.  I tried the Hydroshield Serum in the past and it caused little white bumps to break out on my face.  

 

Do you think the cream would work effectively on its own?  Or, because I had the problem with the serum, I might have the same problem with the cream?

 

I'm sorry if this seems like a silly question to those of you who are well-versed in all things beauty.  I am not one of those people, so I could use some help.  Thanks in advance for any responses.

Definitely NOT QVC Clean Beauty if that matters to you, has petroleum termed Isoparaffin and 2 artificial dyes, also lots of silicones and soybean oil. I would think you can do a lot better than this one.

I had the same issue with her products years ago (milia) so I haven't tried any of her products since then.

I like her products and do use the serum, but I think it is a sales pitch to tell you that you need to use both.  I would use the moisturizer with out the serum...and I have.  Obviously I did not read the directions.

Companies often want to upsell companion products as a way to generate more sales. I would just use your own serum under that moisturizer. I can't see any reason why not to.

It's all a sales tactic to purchase more. Plenty of clean, excellent moisturizers

serums, cleansers at half the price on Amazon. Q products ridiculously 

over priced.

I love Pacifica Beauty all clean and vegan, several excellent moisturizers all reasonably priced.

I bought Dr. Dennise Dream cream Supersize. Huge. About half way through, it went bad. Turned muddy and bad scent. Tossed it.

Since then, I don't buy anything in duo's, triples, or Supersizes.

Love her products.  I have used her serum for years as well as the Dream Cream.  I always buy on sale! I have a lot on hand.  It has never gone back.

Supersize products can be stored in the fridge. But first take some out of the big container and put it into a small container that you will leave out and use daily. Then when the small container gets low just go to the fridge to replenish it. Do the same for supersize oils, too.
