What the gurus are saying

This ultra-lightweight cream splits reviewers: those with oily skin swear by how it stays put through sweat and absorbs instantly, creating a smooth blurring effect, while others found it simply vanished without delivering hydration. Reviewers most devoted to it have used it for years specifically for extreme oiliness in heat and humidity. It won't help dry skin, and even people with very oily skin sometimes wished it offered more hydration.

"First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream, this was in my travel bag [...] and it's pretty much empty and I opened it and there's like it was just dried up so there's nothing left of that."

"The one that I consistently use and love is the Coconut Water Cream. I've talked about this product literally since the beginning days of my channel. I used it so many times this year it still stands as the most lightweight moisturizer I have ever used in my life. As someone who struggles with really oily skin, I highly recommend checking this one out if you do as well. Plus it has a nice blurring effect where my skin always looks super smooth and just very even afterwards."

"For events like this where I know I'm going to be really sweaty, I'm going in with my favorite moisturizer, the First Aid Beauty coconut water cream. It is the only moisturizer that lasts through any type of sweat that my skin exudes."

The Ultimate Q&A for Oily Skin - Your Questions ANSWERED

"I used to recommend the First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream [...] all the time, and I used it when I really struggled with extreme oiliness, because at my job I would work outside in the sun and the humidity and it was just way too much. It felt like all my moisturizers were just way too heavy on the skin, and that's the only one that would last in that environment. But again, it's only for extremely oily skin, so if you have that then I totally recommend checking it out."

Your Dry Skin Questions ANSWERED

"Can I use First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream for dry skin? No, no, no, no, baby. [...] First Aid Coconut Water Cream is one of my favorites for very very oily skin, but if you have dry skin that's definitely not going to be moisturizing enough. [...] As much as I love the Coconut Water Cream, and it has been one of my top favorites for years, it is definitely for the most oily of skin types, not dry skin."

Putting My Old Skin Care FAVORITES To The Test!

"To this day I continue to recommend this moisturizer to anyone with oily skin because of how game changing it is. I love that it immediately absorbs into the skin. [...] Applying it now, I'm like, I should really start using this product again. [...] I still love First Aid Beauty, [...] I still stand by this product, it's really really nice."

"I thought it was going to be like a splash of hydration and keep me feeling hydrated but still moisturized at the same time, and it didn't. It reminded me of a very old-fashioned moisturizer that I used to use as a teenager that kind of went on the skin and you're like where is that gone? And it didn't leave you any more hydrated than you were before. It didn't do what it said it would do."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
