I Pekar Moisturizer is a luxurious hydrator formulated to nourish skin, erase fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the complexion’s elasticity and firmness. The collagen-boosting cream penetrates the pores with a powerful mix of moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients, keeping skin thoroughly hydrated while fighting the signs of aging. Like all of the products offered in our store, this moisturizing face cream has been tested and reviewed by women in the TIA community. So you can be rest assured that you're purchasing a product that will provide all the skin-nourishing benefits you could hope for.

Packed with skin-saving actives, including hyaluronic acid, tripeptide-5, raw honey, pro-vitamin B, and squalane, I Pekar Moisturizer works overtime to reverse UV damage and stimulate healthy skin cells. With regular use, your skin will feel smoother, look younger, and continue to retain a hydrated and healthy glow. Please note that this lovely moisturizer has a consistency similar to honey, and has a delicious but pronounced honey and ginger fragrance.

TIA Review by Marta:
I Pekar Moisturizer is an unusual experience. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is one that I have come to adore. But this is not your usual pot of face cream. It manages to combine luxury and handcrafted (typically an oxymoron, but not so in the case), smells divine and leaves my skin looking as if it has been on vacation.

For those who don’t know, Ildi Pekar is my long-time esthetician, and I Pekar is her debut skin care launch. I wrote more about Ildi in my review of the I Pekar Cleanser. In short, she has two goals when it comes to skin care — natural and effective anti-aging — and she doesn’t compromise on either.

This moisturizer is, I have found, versatile enough to be layered over a serum and effective enough to be used on its own. I have found that alone, it not only hydrates and conditions but has also been giving a helping hand to erasing wrinkles.

One of the ingredients that helps I Pekar’s Moisturizer pack an anti-aging punch is tripeptide-5. This peptide activates an epidermal growth factor (TGF-beta) that stimulates collagen in the skin. I have seen claims that in-vitro tests showed that tripeptide-5 has better collagen building capacity than topically applied TGF-beta — by 119%.

This wonderfully hydrating moisturizer is boosted by squalane and hyaluronic acid. My skin typically errs on the oily side, but it has been dry and out of sorts of late. I Pekar Moisturizer has been just the thing to firm, hydrate and soothe it. Calendula and aspen bark are anti-inflammatory and calming ingredients.

Ildi’s line is all about honey, which is a great healer and source of antioxidants. The only downside is that honey tends to separate a bit from the other ingredients. A minor issue that is put to rights with a shake and a little happy dance (hey, I’m in the privacy of my bathroom).

Ildi has done a great job with her first products, and I am very proud of her. The formulas are as natural as it gets, and what’s more is they work. Not to mention, the products look terribly elegant in their miron glass bottles and jars (and I’m going to take a teensy bit of credit for being the one who suggested the miron glass — a clever glass that keeps out part of the light spectrum and helps preserve the products).

Your Take...

  • Hi Sara, I just wanted to mention that the moisturizer is being reformulated right now and the consistency will be a little creamier. I also cannot stress enough that you need far less then you might think and that if you use the correct amount - a pea-size for the entire face - you should not experience the issues you have been having. Please try using far less.

    I had high hopes for this moisturizer, especially after seeing some good reviews...but it just falls short for me. I don't find myself really wanting to reach for it to be honest.

    The pros are that it smells nice enough, although the scent is pretty strong. I'm not super sensitive to strong scented products, but this one is a little stronger than my liking. But the overall scent is nice, it has good ingredients and is a clean, non-toxic product.

    I'd say the biggest con for me is the consistency. It's so strange...not at all like I was expecting. I guess I'm kind of more into a creamier consistency. I have normal/dry skin, so maybe that's the issue here. But this just does not absorb that well for me.

    It's not like anything I've tried before, which wouldn't be a bad thing if it worked for me, but sadly it does not. It is sort of thick and you really don't need much, but when I apply it, I don't feel like it sinks in well. It does not do well underneath my makeup, so I only wear this at night time. If I touch or rub my face at all, even after having it on for a while, (similar to what another reviewer mentioned) it kind of peels off my face.

    While I don't hate the product, it's just okay...not that impressive and it definitely isn't on my repurchase list. I'll likely use it up over time, but just wish it had worked better, especially for the price and the nice ingredient list.

    I am completely taken with this moisturizer. It feels nourishing on my skin and provides great hydration. The scent is heavenly (my husband says that it reminds him of Christmas) and relaxing. A little does go a long way. It's perfect for me.

    Love this, love the smell and I love how it makes my dry sensitive skin skin feel smoother, firmer and brighter. Its very moisturizing without being too heavy and you really only need the tiniest amount to cover your entire face.

    Got this for the hubby who has very dry and somewhat sensitive skin. This moisturized his skin without irritation. It absorbs quickly and a little goes a long way. I think we found a winner!

    This product is addictive- like a sugar fix- only honey for your skin. Had used it for 2 weeks, went on a trip without it for 5 days, and it was the first thing I did when I got home. It is so rich and smooth and not greasy at all. Love how my skin looks and FEELS when I use it. I'm hooked- like a bee to a flower I love the honey and the smell and I do have a sensitive nose and won't use anything that smell funky. At 63 this is exactly perfect for the tiny lines everywhere. Makes my skin smooth and glowing. Don't think twice about this one- it's a keeper!

    by Joel

    I'm late 40's male, absolutely need lots of moisure, although I have a productive T-zone. I've used I Pekar Moisturizer for almost a month now. I'm very pleased with it. It's thick & rich in texture & feels luxurious going on. A little bit goes a long way & my skin aborbs it easily & looks instantly hydrated. It definitely separates some, per Marta's review, & I give it a quick stir before each application with the wee applicator that arrived with it. No issues applying it post-shaving, over aftershave; occasionally moisturizers & a freshly shaved beard are a conflict for my curly follicles. My only minor con would be the scent which is a rich honey citrus. It is a bit feminine for me, although it seems to mostly dissipate after a few hours.
