bareMinerals Butter Drench Restorative Rich Face Cream, Hydrating Face Lotion, Helps Skin Retain Moisture, Soothes Dry Skin, Non-Comedogenic, Vegan

The media could not be loaded. I have used this product for more than 10 years. Probably longer. I can’t remember the exact year I started using this butter drench. I’ve used it twice a day every day, so I’m very very familiar with what I’ve been using.OK, I’m here to say that I was extremely excited to finally be able to purchase my bareMinerals butter, drench restorative rich cream directly from bareMinerals a couple of weeks ago, especially after I ran out in mid June and have not been able to find a drop of it anywhere from Little Rock, Arkansas all the way to Nashville, Tennessee and even online it was not available. I have asked every Sephora store manager, and I’ve asked every Ulta store manager what’s going on with bareMinerals butter drench not being in stock and not one of them had an answer. So, I went directly to the source, to bareMinerals website and I started a conversation with them about it in their live chat messaging system They had no idea why it was not available either. They only knew that it was out of stock and prompted me to sign up for an email to let me know when it was back in stock. So I did that and while waiting, II speculated that it might be in one of those containers, crossing the ocean that hit a BIG wave & could possibly be lying at the bottom of the sea. I also read online that Bare Esentuals sold out to a Japanese company, Shiseido, but wasn’t sure of the details, like when? Maybe 2021 and why it would JUST now be changing?You would think that there would be some kind of information out as to why it was not available all year long. Maybe you might want to update your biggest customers through your company sending out a notice to the very people that work for you in distribution to the stores. Maybe you should have let your loyal customers know that you’re changing because now it says it’s infused with peptides and ceramides on some websites and not on the packaging? I’ve never noticed it having those ingredients before! Are we just using Smoothness in the Butter Drench jar? What’s going on? My daughter uses the smoothness, and I always knew it had peptides and ceramides, but not the butter drench! Now that I received mine, I can tell you everything about it is different. Even the labeling on the jar is different. It looks different, the color is not the same where it was a very pale shade of yellow. It is now stark white. It smells different. I’ve always loved the Bergamont, and if there is Bergamont essential oil in it, it is a very, very small dose as I cannot smell it any longer and that was one of the most satisfying things about using this product. Also, it feels different. While it’s still very rich and creamy, I almost get a feeling that I slathered on some creamy soap on my face and I no longer get the fresh cool moisturizing feeling and that Dewey look. In fact, I can actually feel it on my face. There is no Dewey moisturized look to my face now. I can’t really describe it, but it doesn’t feel very moisturizing as the old one did. Maybe it’s all in my head because I saw the different labeling. And the different color! Maybe I need to give it more time but I just wondered if anyone else noticed the difference. I also noticed that it no longer says Bare Escentuals on the product. Also noticed that it says it’s made in France instead of made in the USA like the old one. In the pictures you will see that the old jar is to the right and the new one I received with its packaging is to the left.I will go ahead and finish the product and see if I can deal with it.The last thing I have to say is that this brand uses a known potential harmful chemical that they are doing more studies on currently to see if it’s more than moderately dangerous for humans. Its use is to preserve the product with. It’s called Phenoxyethanol. It is a potential endocrine disruptor, among other things that’s not good for you or the environment. The app I use and identifying potential harmful chemicals says that it is a moderate risk. It is used in the product at levels less than one percent to prevent the growth of micro organisms. I will leave it there and you can further research it, but I did have a conversation with a bareMinerals technician that stated they used less than one percent of the recommended amount. I also see that the United States does not regulate its use. On the other hand, now that it’s being made in France, maybe we can feel safe that they are regulating the use of this chemical. With all that being said, we put this product on our face every single day! I use it morning and night. Maybe they should find something Safer to use to prevent the growth of microorganisms rather than this chemical.

During the winter every year I have dealt with extra dry skin. The most bizarre since the rest of the year I am completely fine with the moisturizer I already have. I thought I would try this a little earlier in the year before my skin started to act up in the winter time. Let me say that it's really amazing! I have gone 2 winters now without the dry skin and it's my go to every evening blended with some oils for my night face routine. Love this stuff and it's been my 4th jar now. I only use a dime size and even a tad smaller and it's the perfect coverage. It does last awhile too.

Instant moisture for my extremely dry skin, I have been spending extraordinary amounts of money trying to find something that hydrates my extremely dry 46 year old skin. I have been to several dermatologist & estheticians and this has hydrated without irritating better than anything else I’ve tried. So excited to have found this product!

I just noticed that I've boug inht Butter 🧈Drench from Amazon 25 times. That says it all! (And that doesn't count the times Amazon has run out of stock - which does happen more than I would like.) I have always had dry skin and Butter Drench is soothing and hydrating. It seeps right into my skin. I've tried many other moisturizing creams over the years attempting to find one that is local and less expensive. None compare to Butter Drench.

I love bareminerals butter drench cream. It's the only moisturizer that seems to quench my dry, sensitive, acne prone skin without making me break out. It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feel afterwards. It also has a light, natural scent that makes it even more lovely. The only issue I have is that it is on the more expensive side. Since I use it twice a day the jar only lasts a little over a month. I've tried to use it more sparingly but my dry skin just drinks it up. At about $32 after tax, a 1 year supply (approx.12 jars) costs $384. Thats a lot for just face cream. Unfortunately it's the only product I've tried that really works for me so I am stuck paying the price.

I love this moisturizer. It's super thick. I used to use a bunch of different moisturizers for day and night. And special calming ones for my rosacea. But it's so calming and moisturizing that I use it at night and during the day during the winter. During the summer I only use it at night cuz it's a little too thick and moisturizing when its hot and humidity out. It cuts down on the redness that I get in the winter months.

Best cream!

I have been using the same moisturizer now for nearly 20 years since my early 30s because it was extremely important to my late grandma. She had used the same moisturizer as my aunt and when they both passed away they didn’t have a wrinkle. Just recently my moisturizer was discontinued and I went into overdrive looking for one that was the same texture and quality as the one I had used for years. (I am now 52 and people tell me I look like I am in my 30s, it’s probably true because I have been very faithful to use my moisturizer and skin care routine daily) I was in panic mode searching in stores and on Line for the right product and I came across Butter Drench and finally I was home. Thank God, I used it and I knew I was in love. Perfect texture and it makes my skin feel hydrated and not dried out like the other gimmick creams. It is thick and creamy and truly goes on like butter which to me it is a very necessary to keep skin moist and supple to not develop wrinkles. This works, Wonderful product I’m so relieved.
