Fresh Soy Face Cream - anyone use it?

[CloudBee]

My face is perfectly clear when I use Fresh's Soy Face Cream. It is amazing stuff. My face absorbs it completely, and is not oily. I love it!

The only problem is, my husband can't stand the smell. Gypsy returned her tube of the cream saying she also thought it smelled horrid.

Most of the negative reviews online all point to the scent. That is apparently the only complaint people ever seem to have.

I don't think it smells bad, but I also don't want to wear cream to bed every night when I know my husband can't stand it. He's been nice about it, too. I go months using it, then stop, then he tells me to use it again, then I see his face when he catches a whiff and decide to stop again, lol.

So my questino to you - if you have used Fresh's Soy Face Cream, is there ANYTHING similar that I can use in lieu of it? Is there anything that you have found comparable? I've tried SO many creams and can't find a good replacement.

I may try Fresh's Umbrian Clay Face Lotion. Has anyone used that before?

Help me! I need to find the perfect moisturizer, as that's the only thing I need to do to keep my skin under control.

I beg!

What does it smell like? I always mean to smell it when I'm in store, but I forget.

The smell doesn't bug me, but Mr. mfluder isn't a fan (but not anti).

Did you get a Clark's botanticals marine cream sample by any chance in birchbox? I'm not going to lie, the stuff is pricey. And it has a scent (at first, its annoying, but I swear after the jar has been opened a bit is not remotely as bad). It's a little like the ocean, and well, not. Well the stuff has been amazing for me. I don't so much get full fledged acne any more (*knock on wood*) but this helps with those sort of little acne bumps, does that make sense? I think also it helped redness. It's $115 though :-( .

This is a hard area, I'm not going to lie.

(Full disclaimer, I use PTR acne gel 1-2 a week on my chin to keep away the serious stuff).

Yes - mildew/mold.

I didn't like the marine cream, unfortunately.

Fresh Soy works wonders, but yes, it smells awful. I've been using First Aid Beauty, it doesn't do as good of a job, but it's doesn't smell so bad and it's reasonably priced. I had a sample of Origins Mega Mushroom and it was awesome and made my skin look great, so I think I'm going to get that during F&F.

LOL. I really don't mind it. But it does suck its lingering - its not one of those things that dissipates after a bit.
