This cream has everything you would want in an everyday moisturizer. I love the ingredients especially love that it has the nourishing ceramides in it, ceramide is one of the ingredients that i look for especially in my moisturizers. The consistency of this cream is lightweight gel like but but feels more moisturizing than you would think. For myself I do like a bit more of a thicker cream for at night this one just is a bit too thin for me, for the day is where this formula is really nice, the cream rubs in easily and doesn't leave a cast on your skin. Your skin once rubbed in looks hydrated and dewy not greasy it actually looks quite pretty. Packaging for the product is 10 out of 10 very luxury packaging and effective for use. Made out of a strong acrylic and looks like it should be a high end product.
So there is heaps that I do like about this cream however there's a few things about it that really didn't quite work for me. I found that using this under makeup would break my makeup up and tried under a few different foundations and every time my makeup looked ready to come off by mid day...not cute. However I did think my skin looked beautiful using this on a no makeup day. After a couple weeks of using this product I have noticed more visible deep acne coming through which is a but gutting because I'm pretty sure it's because this product is so fragranced and the smell is potent not soft and subtle at all. The smell makes it like it's trying to be a high end product especially with combined with the packaging.
I think this product could have been a full 10 out of 10 overall if the fragrance was taken away especially since it has so many great ingredients in it that could work for so many people but because of the fragrance I think it undid all the good things it should have been doing to my skin. If you like fragrance that'd quite strong and flowery then I think you would like this but for me it's a scent I would stay away from, even if it just had less scent or a different more subtle scent would have made all the difference for me.
I haven’t been great with my skincare lately so I was excited to try this out. In particular I have dry skin and haven’t been moisturising - so this would be excellent.
I love the packaging. It has one of those pump tops that dispenses a great amount of product. No mess. I love it. If all my products were like this I would be stoked.
The downside - the smell. It has a floral/chemical smell which I can’t get past. I won’t repurchase this for that reason. The product itself is lovely though - a nice water cream that sinks in well. My skin feels lovely after using it and has really enjoyed having used it each day.
As I said - I won’t be repurchasing- but if that sort of scent doesn’t bother you then I would totally recommend.
