Review: Smith Farms Marshmallow Face Cream


As most of you know, I won Jayne's Smith Farms Marshmallow Face Cream giveaway.
I've been able to try it within the last week and I've been really satisfied with how it has worked.

Price: $26
Size: 2 fl. oz.

Claim: "This rich and fluffy cream applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, leaving skin hydrated and protected without making it greasy. Mallow root extract gives the cream its mousse-like texture and most importantly, softens skin giving it a smoother, healthier feel. The addition of yeast derived collagen further moisturizes and helps strengthen skin while antioxidant rich rice bran oil helps heal and regenerate."

Packaging: The packaging of this product is really great. It comes in a glass bottle with a secure plastic top and a pump! I really like pumps because they make getting the right amount so much easier. I'm really happy with the packaging of this, my only concern is since I'm a klutz I'm worried about dropping it. (Though the glass does seem pretty thick) However, I do have one minor complaint. It seems like when I push down the pump, it wants to squirt out at me!

Scent: Like Jayne, I was surprised by the scent. I was a little less surprised since I read her review first and had a heads up, but something about seeing it and then smelling it was still surprising. It has a citrus smell to it  which made sense when I saw the "orange blossom waters" on the ingredients list. Nonetheless, it smells lovely.

Texture: I love the texture of this face cream. It's so thin and creamy, a little really does go a long way for me. It blends out so easily and leaves my face feeling really fresh, soft, and moisturized. I definitely agree with the claim, it doesn't make me greasy and it absorbed into my skin effortlessly. However, I wouldn't really consider it a "fluffy" texture, like Jayne said in her review it feels more like a gel-cream.






Thoughts: This face cream is very moisturizing and I love that it's all natural. I'm not really 'vegan' or anything but I always feel better using things I know are all/mostly organic and have less harsh chemicals. My skin does feel softer and definitely more moisturized since I've been using this. I'm really happy with how it's going and I'm really grateful I won the giveaway and was given the chance to try this out! I use this every night and even just using it at night has helped. My face feels a lot more "calm" and I notice a decrease in redness from blemishes and an overall more even skin tone on my face.

Do I recommend it? Yes, definitely.

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Rating: 5/5



Thanks for reading!

    1. That's what she said.. Hahaha.
      I've been really loving using the face sponge you sent me too. I use it with my cleanser and then I use this face cream after and my face has been so soft and looks so much more even! :D

    2. LOL, oh Michael Scott.

      The face sponge is great! I feel like it really cleans my face without being to rough.

    3. LOL. Yeah I feel the same way, my face has been SO soft lately. It feels so nice and cleansing and like you said, it doesn't feel too rough where I feel like I'm hardcore exfoliating everyday. Haha.

  4. This may be worth trying for me. Living in a tropical climate, it is very hot. But it being the dry season my skin needs the moisture, I need something light but very hydrating.
