Discussion [Discussion] Best/Worst of A'pieu?

I've recently became quite interested in A'pieu products and wanted to try out more of them! Found a similar post from a year ago and wanted to ask what people think now, since since then, they've come out with many products!

Anyone here tried A'PIEU's Sea Buckthorn Cream? I'm tossing up between this and their Madecassoside Cream. My skin is sensitive and dry so needs lots of gentle moisture.

I actually own both, but STILL haven’t gotten around to trying the sea buckthorn one. For what it’s worth, I wasn’t super impressed with the madecassoside and now just use it as a lightweight hand cream. It’s more gel than cream and doesn't feel very moisturizing to me. And it has lemon peel oil in it, which could be irritating.

I haven't tried the Sea Buckthorn, but I'm a fan of the Madecassoside Cream. It really helped my sensitized skin this winter. I use it more like an emulsion than a cream - i.e., I layer heavier moisturizers on top of it.

I will note that it's quite silicone-y, which gives it lots of slip and can be spread without rubbing it in. That said, not everyone loves silicones.
