Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm

Light, serum-like moisturizing gel / 1.6 oz full size 

Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm is actually an extraordinarily light, serum-like gel that absorbs quickly and dries down to a matte finish. (Not like most other heavy, oil-based balms in the least.) It’s perfect for those of you who find most moisturizers too heavy or whose skin tends to be oily. And, in warm, humid climates, it’s a fabulous layer underneath sunscreen.

Description

Light, serum-like moisturizing gel / 1.6 oz full size 

Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm is actually an extraordinarily light, serum-like gel that absorbs quickly and dries down to a matte finish. (Not like most other heavy, oil-based balms in the least.) It’s perfect for those of you who find most moisturizers too heavy or whose skin tends to be oily. And, in warm, humid climates, it’s a fabulous layer underneath sunscreen.

What surprised us most about this product, aside from the fact that it’s called a “balm” yet is one of the lightest moisturizers we’ve ever tried, is that its shockingly low price belies its power-packed ingredient list. It boasts a host of anti-agers, like prickly pear cactus stem extract, Kendi seed oil, carrot seed oil, and olive leaf extract — all of which work together to provide firming, elasticity-boosting benefits. This is, quite possibly, one of the best values out there for women with oily skin and for men who prefer lightweight product textures.

And, like most Ursa Major products, it smells wonderful: this one’s herbal blend includes lavender, lime, spearmint, and rosemary.

How to Use

Massage balm (start with a 1/2 pump) onto clean and dry skin, making sure to cover entire face and neck. Wait 15-30 seconds for balm to absorb.

For best results, use daily after you wash, tone or shave.

Works well alone or as a primer before applying sunscreen.

“A little goes a long way, and when I was using this product, my skin was noticeably smoother and felt firmer; it also felt hydrated long after I applied the balm. And I had a glow, but not a shine. I got many compliments from friends and strangers on the condition of my skin, specifically its 'glow.'”
