Sharing my thoughts on the new Geek and Gorgeous moisturisers and how I think they could just be the best drugstore moisturiser for your skincare routine.
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where in this video I want to share with you my thoughts on the Geek and Gorgeous Moisturisers which have just launched. The geek and Gorgeous Hydration Station and Geek and Gorgeous Happy Barrier have already taken the skincare world by storm but how good are they really.
Geek and Gorgeous are one of my favourite drugstore skincare brands and they offer wonderful formulations at really affordable prices. We have waited a while for a new launch from them but they havent disappointed when it comes to their new moisturiser which is quickly becoming a skincare holy grail in my skin care routine.
There two geek and gorgeous moisturizers are as follows:
Geek and Gorgeous Hydration Station - A lightweight but hydrating moisturiser which is a wonderful addition to an oily skincare routine and best of all it is fungal acne safe.
Geek and Gorgeous Happier Barrier - This is the more heavy duty version of the hydration station which will leave the skin feeling super moisturised but also have some great barrier supporting benefits too.
I would love to know what you think about the new geek and gorgeous moisturisers and whether you have tried them so let me know in the comment below.
I am so grateful to Geek and Gorgeous for giving me the chance to try out these products before they launched and if you would like to continue to support the channel then please give this video a thumbs up and a like.

Basic is exactly what we need sometimes. So glad there are no hyaluronic acid, no potentially irritating actives because you can get them from the serums from G&G. I think the thicker one would do well for slugging. Looking forward to trying them.

@hengwin Жыл бұрын

So happy you reviewed these, I don't expect much from my moisturizer but quench my Atacama desert of skin as I use actives separately. I'll absolutely add the richer one to my next order.

Agreed I purchased both and was so disappointed in size and feel that for a moisturizer which we use at least twice sometimes more times a day needs to a larger I feel like it will be gone in no time at all so far though I do love how it feels on my skin and smooths and nourishes my skin I do love it I an using the barrier bc my skin is dry in winter but will repurchase and pray they go bigger on size

I have about a gazillion moisturisers to get through but I want both of these!!! Probably the lighter one for summer but the other one sounds like a winter and drier skin must have! I also would love to see a bigger tube. As you say you can buy a few at the same time but having a nice big tube would just be preferable.

Yes! I've been craving this video ever since I first heard G&G was releasing the new moisturizers. I just couldn't decide which one would be best for me, and I still can't. I would usually go for the lighter one, but my skin has been getting pretty dry lately so the heavier one would definitely be useful. I guess I'll just have to buy both and go from there. 😄 I'm curious, how would you say each moisturizer compares to your MAS moisturizer in terms of heaviness and consistency? It sounds like MAS may fall in between the two?

@MadAboutSkin Жыл бұрын

Hi hun, i would say the MAS moisturiser is closer to the happier barrier one than the lightweight one.. Sending you lots of love xxxxxx

@lorainemcgillivray77 Жыл бұрын

Hi Rob most moisturisers are around 50mls - it is the industry standard size. I will add the richer of the two to my next G&G order, but that will probably be in the Spring (I just did an order recently with two bottles of Agame, two stressless and a spritz toner). I think (going by the texture shown) it is a bit lighter than my current cold weather favourite (the PC clinical ultra rich moisturiser), so it will work better for me once the worst of the Winter is behind me. The price is great and obviously better than PC, but truthfully for the skin comfort I get from the clinical ultra rich moisturiser I will pay the extra. I like trying other things once the weather improves and I used the Pacifica vegan collagen cream during the early Autumn (which looks like a similar consistency as this one). It's not enough for my Winter/cold weather skin, but it was fine in the milder Autumn weather we had up until lately. Best wishes.

Hi Rob, thanks for the review of these, I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on them! I've just bought your Mad About Skin Maximum Impact moisturiser and love it so far, it's everything I've been looking for, for my combination-oily skin! LOVE that it's 100ml too 💜 Having said that, as a G&G fan girl I'll definitely be ordering both of these to try because I can see myself finding uses for them too (Hydration Station for oily t-zone/in summer and Happier Barrier when my skin's having a really bad day 🤣) Keep up the great skincare content, much love xx

Although these look like good basic (in a good way) moisturisers I think unusually for me I will give these G&G products a miss. I have been through many moisturisers from around the globe looking to fill the evening routine role and after all that have settled on one from just 25 miles down the road. Yes, the Maximum Impact moisturiser, which does look to be a little heavier than these but just performs perfectly in this role, for my skin at least. I am really , really, waiting for the new Anti-oxidant moisturiser release from MAS . Anyone have any news !!! Nudge nudge!
