[REVIEW] Nature Republic Aqua Super Aqua Max Moisture Watery Cream

Hi everyone! I'm back with another skin care review and this time, it's a Nature Republic moisturizer!

Nature Republic is known for their popular Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel and a couple of their snail skin care line.

This product has been out in the market for quite a while, but I picked this up recently because I love trying out different skin care products to see which skin care product suits my skin the best.

Description:
It is a high-performance hydrating cream which infuses extract moisture and refreshment back to skin with an energizing complex of deep sea minerals from maritime plants while extract of chlorella, seaweed, plankton, and water-soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid helps to strengthen skin's ability to defend itself against external aggressors and dehydration.

Price range: $12USD-$17USD (depending on which website you're buying it from)
Size: 80ml

Review

I actually enjoyed using this product a lot, surprisingly. I have not heard a lot of reviews of Nature Republic products as there are so many K-Beauty brands out there, overshadowing Nature Republic and some other older K-Beauty brands.

This product felt quite light on my skin, but my skin still felt moisturized and soft after using this product a couple times. It's not a heavy duty, rich moisturizer so if you have dry skin, you might feel as if this moisturizer might be too light for you, but this product is more targeted towards normal to oily skin.

Moreover, I love the consistency as it has a gel to creamy texture. It absorbs well into the skin, leaving the skin with a 'glow-from-within' kinda of finish. It also has a slight floral scent, but it's quite subtle and I don't think it will irritate your skin (unless you are sensitive to scents in your products). The product says 'watery', but it is not at all watery, which is very odd.

It didn't break me out, so that's definitely a good sign, because my skin is sensitive to some particular ingredients from certain skin care products. Another pro is that this moisturizer is affordable and this retails for less than BND$15 (US$12)!

In addition, my skin felt super soft and supple after using this product as well! However, if you have dry skin, this product might be too light for you. Layer this product if you do have dry to combination skin. Just a heads up. Those who have normal to oily skin will have no problem using this product. Also, if you are allergic to scents, your skin might get irritated after using this because it does have a slight scent to it. The scent is not strong at all, but you can definitely tell that there's a light scent.

Also, it comes with a tub, so it's not the most convenient type of packaging, because it involves dipping your finger in the product to get the product. Plus, it's heavy, so this product is not really travel-friendly and light.

Overall, this product performed pretty well, especially for its price point. Nature Republic do have great moisturizers and gel products so I understand why this product performed well in the first place.

Overall

However, it isn't a 'life-changing' product and it's definitely not the best moisturizer in the K-Beauty world. There are definitely more products you can find that perform much better and leaves your skin super moisturized and supple compared to this product. I would say though that this product did its job and did not disappoint. But if you're looking into a more affordable option and you just want a good and safe moisturizer, this could be a good choice.
