Dr LeWinn's Recoverëderm Cellular Defence Rich Replenishing Day Cream Review

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.

This gorgeous day cream was just the boost my skin needed during these drying winter months. Its beautiful expensive looking jar showcases an equally expensive feeling product. And at $NZ79.99, it is on the pricier side, but still not as expensive as some other products. It is rich and creamy, and decadent feeling, and glides on leaving my skin feeling smooth and hydrated, and hydration that lasts. I had some dry patches around my eyes, and my lips have been very dry, and this has smoothed them out in just a couple of days. It soothes and calms irritated skin, reducing redness and dryness. It feels cool on the skin. I started out using too much, as with the cheaper products I usually use I tend to need a little more, so this product is yet another more expensive item that will last longer than supermarket products. This was especially nice to use while we holidayed in the mountains, the cold air, plus heat from hot pools and fireplaces and airconditioning take a toll on the skin for sure! If you can afford DR. Lewinn's products, and need a hydration or anti-aging boost, I would recommend this for sure. I am keen to try more DR. Lewinn's products in this range now! Especially the skin protecting toning mist (love a good mist toner!) and the overnight barrier repair balm. They also do a cleanser and a mask in this range, the latter of which would be a great inexpensive way to try DR. Lewinn's.

Thanks to this trial I have discovered the difference between an $80 day cream and what I pick up on special for $10 at Countdown! When I started using the Dr LeWinns Recoverëderm Cellular Defence Rich Replenishing Day Cream my mid-30's skin was looking truly awful thanks to the Winter elements. After my morning cleansing routine I apply a generous amount to my face and neck. It's calming, soothing and a beautiful consistency - not too thick or at all greasy and my skin just drinks in. After using it for two weeks my skin is certainly smoother, more hydrated and looking so much better! Make up also sits beautifully on top of it.

The only feedback I'd give is on the dispensing aspect of the packing. While it's a stunning frosted glass jar you do have to scoop your fingers in and the product out. One of those fancy push down attachments on the top to distribute just the right amount which I see some other Dr LeWinns products have would be perfect.

Dr LeWinns Recoverëderm Cellular Defence Rich Replenishing Day Cream is an amazing day cream for all types of skin. The focus is on sensitive and irritated skin but I would recommend it for people without sensitive skin who are looking for an overall great anti-aging and nourishing day cream.

I found the outer packaging to be quite clinical looking, which is appropriate for the type of cream it is. The inner jar is beautiful with a screw lid to give easy access to the product. I wasn't too sure of the smell at first, it is almost like an unscented sunscreen type of smell but again that is what I was expecting from a cream that is for sensitive skin, especially since it can be used as a post-cosmetic treatment.

The cream has a texture that was rich but it almost felt like a gel/ cream blend on the skin which was soothing to apply. Only a small amount is needed which means that the jar will last for ages. It absorbs in quickly and provides the perfect base for makeup.

This isn't a low-cost day cream however considering how fantastic the cream is, it is in my opinion worth the price.

My skin isn't particularly sensitive it can however be a little all over the place. I am 37 so showing signs of aging, suffered from bad acne when I was younger, and can have combination skin with dry and oily patches. I was concerned that it could have made my skin feel too oily seen it says that it helps dry skin however that didn't happen at all. Using this cream my skin has felt calmer and more "normal".

I would recommend this cream for anyone after a fantastic day cream. It is soothing and really does make my skin feel great.

This day cream is gift worthy, packaged in a silver lidded glass jar inside a aqua and silver box. The cream is thick, with a very subtle pleasant scent.

When I started using this cream, I had a lot of redness, peeling and sensivity from prescription strength topical retinol treatment so this cream was really put through its paces.

The cream applied like bliss to my sensitized skin. It felt deeply nourishing and immediately made a difference to my redness, completely evening my skin tone. Usually I have redness until I cover it with makeup, but this neutralized it on its own. Foundation went on smoothly over the cream without any bunching.

Within a few days' use my skin felt softer and smoother, my skin tone more even. It did a wonderful job of smoothing out wrinkles as well. It is a real treat to have healthy looking skin without having to create the illusion with make up.

I definitely recommend it if your skin needs some serious TLC or if you just want better looking skin.

I loved trialing this product, I loved the big glass jar, it was easy to find on my dresser, even though a lot of it was just jar, as the 50 mils of cream is the same of the other day creams I had. The cream had a slight smell that reminded me of hand sanitizer, but lets face it, in this day and age that is a safe and comforting smell!. the texture was light and went on smoothly and absorbed fast, leaving no sticky feeling. after using it, it left my face feeling so incredibly smooth! I couldn't stop running my hand down my cheeks to feel the softness. after 2 weeks of using DR LeWinns I felt my skin had a younger softer look and feel to it, and definitely no breakouts of blemishes, and no red blotchy face either. since I had never heard of Dr Lewinns products before, I looked up the price of this amazing day cream and found the RRP was $79.99. which discouraged me a wee bit, as this is way out of my price range for every day skin care, and probably wouldn't buy it again because of that fact, there are many other more reasonable priced day creams out there more in my price range. would I recommend it to a friend? yes, if they could afford it, it would be my recommended product for sure.

I was selected by BR to review this product on a trial team. I have sensitive skin and need to be careful what I use on my face, I have had reactions to things in the past. Often when changing products my skin will have a breakout or transition period but that didn't happen while switching to this product. This moisturizer was really well tolerated by my skin and it does a great job. The packaging is really nice and easy to use, just take the lid off, scoop some out and away you go. The product is quite thick and luxurious. Moisturizing products for sensitive skin can have a thin consistency so this was an absolute treat to use. It was well absorbed by my skin and didn't leave me looking shiny or oily. Now that I'm in my 30's I am starting to use some anti-ageing products in my skincare routine and while I don't have any wrinkles for it to improve the appearance of I didn't get any new ones :) I will continue using this product and will repurchase, it's been a pleasure to use on my sensitive skin.

The packaging of this product is lovely with a frosted glass pottle with a baby blue insert and silver lid. Feels and looks expensive.

Product is a rich creamy consistency. No fragrance that I can tell.

Absorbs well. Doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily. Makes my skin feel hydrated and protected from the cold winds.

Has really helped with my dry patches of irritated skin.

Definitely recommend.

I am always really careful as my skin can be so sensitive. but I loved this. my skin felt really relaxed almost immediately and smooth and soft. I was concerned at first that it would feel heavy as it felt a little greasy as I applied it, but that disappeared immediately and left a really light feeling on my skin

This day cream is absolutely amazing to say the least. I have sensitive skin with a lot of redness and dry patches too. Majority of the day creams I have tried have not made much of a difference.

My skins starting to show signs of ageing such as fine lines and a couple of wrinkles. This is the first anti ageing product that I've tried and I love how it targets reduction of fine lines & wrinkles. It makes my skin feel amazing.

In the first week I noticed my skin was less irritated, I had no dry patches and minimal redness. My skin feels plumped, healthy and nourished. I am very impressed with the results.

The packing feels very luxurious and high end. I really like the jar it comes in and its easy to access the product.

This day cream retails for $79.99 on the Dr Lewinns nz website and it contains 50mls of product. In my honest opinion it is worth every cent. Ive been using this product for a few weeks and it looks like I haven't made much of a dent in the product. A little goes a very long way. It is now a permanent part of my skincare routine.
