St. Jane Petal Moisturizing Cream – $68.00
“A powerful, lightweight moisturizer is something I’ve been personally missing out on from my skincare routine, and the light bulb has just gone on. I immediately started working on the formula, which was inspired by the subtle way florals preserve their beauty through hydration” — Casey Georgeson, founder of Saint Jane

If I had to compare, I’d say it looks a lot like Tatcha Water Cream Moisturizing, but lighter and more airy. The next day, I applied Petal Cream under a layer of skin tone, concealer, and setting powder, just to see what would happen when moisturizer meets my other products. consequences? Aside from the lack of pilling (hooray!), I found that Petal Cream had a boosting effect, leaving my skin looking clearer and brighter, with a natural glow meaning I didn’t have to use any highlighter that day.
