I would not normally spend so much on any skin care but seeing as this baby was part of the beauty box I bought I had to give it a go. In a way I was hoping it would fail me so I didn't have to justify the $55 price tag that went with it. Oh how it proved me wrong.
I love first of all how it is a NZ brand, TICK and best of all is cruelty free massive TICK! The packaging definitely gives off a clean, green image and is pleasing to the eye. It's simple but definitely achieves what it sets out to do by first glimpse.
The cream itself is creamy and thick without looking like it would leave a greasy film after application. It has a pleasant fragrance without being over powering. You can definitely get a hint of lavender in there above anything else. Usually lavender for me is a dislike, but it's so light it's nice which is awesome.
I use the cream cleanser and toner in the same Evolu skincare range which I think gives it the best chance to get the best results. After using the first two in the regime I smooth this on using upward motions just like mama taught me. Gotta keep those wrinkles off the neck for as long as possible hehe.
The cream, although thick is definitely not greasy so my skin drinks it in gratefully without any issue. Even after the first use I found my skin felt alot more hydrated but only time would tell if it would stay this way. We are now three months in and my skin is now a plump, hydrated canvas. It has loved it so much that I don't wear foundation anymore and my skin loves it. It can now breathe and look good in its own naked glory. I gave it the heading 'Silks and Satins' because that is now what my skin feels like. With being pregnant now and having unpredictable skin it has reigned in those blemishes and uneven dullness and given it a whole new lease of life. Money Schmoney I say!
I like the natural scent of the Evolu products- it's a light fresh scent. The cream easily squeezes out from the tube and is nice and hydrating. It's hydrating yet doesn't feel thick and absorbs easily. I think I prefer tubes to pots as they are more hygienic. Overall a decent product.
