I’m not sure if you guys remember, but two years back, I had the chance to try out AXIS Y after seeing it for so many months on Instagram.ย I had suspicions that the brand would be geared more towards oily skin types and I was right.ย We didn’t start off on the right foot, but I have come bearing great news!ย I’ve found a couple of products from the brand that is very dry skin type friendly and this might be one of my all-time favorite products too!

Product packaging:
The AXIS Y cera heart duo cream comes in a hard plastic jar that is split in two on the inside.ย It isn’t super bulky which is nice and is super safe to travel with.
The lid on the inside keeps everything from spilling out or mixing together in the jar, however, I find the lid to be a little messy since it squishes come out once you put it back on.ย As many times that I’ve wiped it, it still gets all crusty on the sides.ย Maybe they could put it in a bottle with a duo pump in the future?
Texture/ Finish + effects/ results:
As the description said, this is a two texture cream.ย When I first opened the jar and saw two gel-like textures, I was a little disappointed.ย Usually with duo creams, one would be much thicker, more like a cream consistency while the other would a gel texture.
To my surprise though, the cream side is quite deeply hydrating all thanks to ingredients like ceramides and jojoba seed oil to make the cream much more nourishing and hydrating.ย Ceramides are one of my favorite skincare ingredients, so it is no surprised the cream side actually worked for me.
The gel side (ultramarine side) is a little less hydrating for my dry skin, so I just use it as a base for the cream.ย It gives me a bit of hydration and could work alone during the summertime when I’m less dry and more sweaty.ย For the time being, it will be my base for the cream.

Both doesn’t take long to absorb into the skin but the gel texture leaves less of a dewy finish.ย The cream side leaves behind a layer of hydration that is comfortable on the skin and I wake up to my skin still very much hydrated and softened.ย I do also think the Centella and sage were able to keep my skin in good condition and keep irritations at bay and my overall complexion was brightened and glowy.

Overall thoughts:
I’m very pleased with this duo cream and am actually shocked that there is a duo cream out there in existence that is hydrating.ย Both sides are equally as good and the cream side is a new favorite.ย If they had a jar of just the cream side, I’m down!ย I’m highly impressed with this cream and definitely recommend you guys check this out!
