The first think I noticed when I opened my parcel was how beautiful the packaging was. Its a durable plastic but looks like glass which gives it an expensive feel. The product has a air tight film on it and it reassured me that the active ingredients would remain nice and fresh.
I really enjoyed the smell, it reminds me of Greek yogurt its very subtle. It had a lovely thick feeling between the fingers similar to the traditional viscosity you would get with a heavy day cream but this is where the product starts to deviate from the normal.
Its very easy to use just apply a fair amount to the skin and massage it in. When you put it on is absorbs into the skin so quickly, it leaves absolutely no residue on the skin and its so lightweight you don't feel like your wearing anything.
After using this product for a week now my sin feels softer, plumper and my redness in my cheeks is becoming less visible.
As the cost is around the $50 mark it would be considered a high end product for me at the moment however, how it makes my skin feel and the lack of heaviness while wearing it definitely makes it worth the price point.
it is one of the only creams i have worn in a long time that i actually get excited to use again.
Definitely patch test this as my first application was very tingly, however it dissipated quickly and every application after that was absolutely fine.
I was really excited to receive this product to review, as I have never used any Dr. Lewinn's products before - they're quite expensive and I really can't be bothered reading about all the scientific claims and elusive ingredients. I also usually opt for day moisturisers that are on the cheaper side, lighter formulas and contain SPF.
I'm in my late 20s and I'm starting to see horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet develop, AT THE SAME time as still battling hormonal acne on my chin (currently using Differin gel from the doctor to clear it up) and pesky breakouts on my forehead. I was a bit worried that using this may cause my acne to flare up, but it has been fine.
At first glance I was worried that this would be far too heavy and thick for daily morning use, but I was pleasantly surprised that it feels like a combination of a cream and a gel. I also like that it is fragrance-free. It absorbs really quickly and my skin feels amazingly moisturised. I've been using it for a week so far and I can see a very slight difference in my skin, so I'm excited to see what it looks like after another week of use.
It's definitely changed my view on moisturisers from jars rather than bottles, and it feels like I am treating my skin every morning when I put it on! I would probably buy this again and am now keen to try other products from the brand.
Tips: I also use it like an eye contour cream and dab it under my eyes before applying to the rest of my face!
You only need a small amount, so the jar should last quite a while.
