Before AXIS-Y reached out to me, I had never tried a duo cream. I had no idea what to expect with duo creams – but after using this, well.. I think I may just be in the market to check out what other duo creams are out there. It’s such a great concept for people with combination skill (especially for those with dry and oily skin). This post is part of my AXIS-Y review series and is in collaboration with them. If you are interested to know more about this product, keep on reading!

Quickie
The Good
- Skin felt hydrated and soft after
- You can choose which of one of the duo cream to apply to your face (the gel version or cream-based version)
- Didn’t feel heavy on face and lasted nicely throughout the day (skin didn’t get super oily throughout the day)
- Basically no fragrance
- Caters well to those with dry and oily skin
The Bad
- The spatula keeps falling out of it’s little spot, and sometimes you get a bit paranoid about mixing the two products together (but this isn’t really a deal breaker)

Texture
The T-zone cream has a gel-based texture and is thicker than what you’d expect for a typical gel-cream.
The U-zone cream has a creamier consistency (what you would expect of a cream) but it’s a hydrating cream (so it doesn’t have an oily feel to it).
Application
Both creams apply very smoothly and nicely! They are easy to spread on the skin (the T-Zone being slightly easier due to it’s texture).
Effectiveness
One thing that I really liked about this cream is that it did not have an oily finish, even the U-zone cream. Whenever I used the cream at night, my skin still felt moisturized in the morning. More specifically, the T-zone cream didn’t feel like it wore off overnight. None of the creams felt heavy on my skin, and even after applying sunscreen my skin didn’t get as oily as it usually does when I use most moisturizers.
Overall, I was very impressed with this cream and how light it felt on my skin!
