Just rebought the jumbo size and it felt just like how it did two years ago when I fell in love with it. I didnt have any problems with it, the cream was filled all the way and it kept my skin moisturized all day. Hope they never change the formula because I have yet to find something better. They will have my money for the rest of my life
I LOVE this moisturizer! It is light, soft and works so well. After using this for 2 months now, my face is more even, brighter and silky smooth. Strangers have stopped me to ask about my skin! This stuff is great! The smell is not my favorite, but the cream is so worth it!
I absolutely LOVE this moisturizer! I have using this product for over 2 years now and I could not be happier! It has definitely changed my skin for the better. I no longer have super combination skin; it is much more balanced. It's super quenching in the winter months. My skin used to get super dry and flakey but no longer does. The texture is smooth and rich, making a little go a long way. It does not irritate my skin or leave it greasy looking or feeling.
Overall the moisturizer doesn't amazing job. such a rich cream that blends beautifully. However, it's almost impossible to get over that Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies scent. if you're going to have a moisturizer have some type of scent, at least make it pleasant or clean. I'm a fan of most of Biossance products and love this cream, but for the price point and awful scent, there are a plethora of better options.
I've fought hard with dry skin on my face since I was a teenager. I've always had to reapply moisturizer 5-10 times a day. I had never been able to wear makeup much because of this without having to do my whole face multiple times a day. Now at 51, I can finally wear any foundation I want-powder or liquid! My face is smooth, tiny bumps have disappeared, fine lines and flakes are a thing of the past. I get so many complements on my skin and have been told I could pass for being in my 30s. I'll take it. I don't have a problem with the scent, it doesn't set off my allergic asthma at all. With or without makeup, extreme summer or winter, dry or humid, day and night, this is my go to moisturizer. Thank you Biossance.
Do we even have a right to be hopeful? With political and ecological fires raging all around, is it irresponsible to imagine a future world radically better than our own? A world without prisons? Of beautiful, green public housing? Of buried border walls? Of healed ecosystems? A world where governments fear the people instead of the other way around?
About a month into the pandemic lockdown, I started talking with my partner Avi Lewis, who co-wrote and produced the last film, about whether the utopian imagination could possibly have a role to play in this markedly less optimistic political moment.
As we all know, U.S. politics is in a very different place today. Sanders lost the primaries, as did every other candidate who seemed to grasp the urgency of transformational policy. The only viable hope of unseating Donald Trump is a presidential ticket crafted to tightly hug the political center, while fending off the demands animating progressive movements, whether to defund the police, or provide free universal health care, or introduce a sweeping Green New Deal.
Opal Tometi, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter and longtime migrant rights advocate, joined us as co-author and co-narrator. And over the months of lockdown and deadly reopenings, a picture of a possible, beautiful future slowly came into focus, along with a steep and perilous path to getting there.
Fortunately, we are not starting from anything near scratch. Radical anti-colonial, racial justice, and Black feminist movements have been advancing these deeper meanings of repair for nearly two centuries, teasing out what reparation and true reconstruction can and should mean. Climate justice activists, more recently, have been developing models that meet multiple reparative needs simultaneously (which is the underlying philosophy of any transformative Green New Deal).
It is this work that animates the future world we portrayed on film. A world with shuttered prisons, with far more land under Indigenous jurisdiction, with families fed by local farmers and housed in beautiful, green public housing, built to enhance community and break the barriers of isolation. A world where the resources currently spent on the sprawling infrastructures of coercion, containment, and violence are shifted to a vast infrastructure of care and repair.
Apocalyptic fantasies, in other words, are part of what landed us here. So as difficult as it may be right now to imagine a future that is genuinely better than our present, we have to keep trying. However, for futurism to be more than wild-eyed fantasy, there has to be a credible path to get there from here.
Which is why, once we had the script and the storyboards, Avi, Opal, and I started reaching out to groups whose organizing and theorizing shape the future portrayed in the film. So today, as we send the film into the world, we are also able to announce a powerful launch coalition of groups and networks that have united to push it out and use it in their organizing. This growing alliance includes: the Movement for Black Lives, Greenpeace International, Public Services International (with its more than 700 member unions representing 30 million workers worldwide), La Va Campesina (representing some 200 million small farmers), NDN Collective (organizing around a comprehensive vision of decolonization and Indigenous self-determination), Global Nurses United (representing so many front-line health workers), Amazon Watch, One Billion Rising (a global movement to end violence against women and girls), the Sunrise Movement, Dream Defenders, as well as the Institute for Policy Studies (which has long been advancing many of these ideas), and the organization Avi and I co-founded, The Leap.
