This product came with some other Essano products in the latest BBBE. The other products were very nice and I hoped this one would be as well. And it is. It comes in a pot with a screw top which is nice and easy to use. The product is a moderately thick white cream. It has a slight scent of rosehip but not so much as to be icky. It is soft and silky on my skin but doesn't absorb as nicely as I'd like. I have mature skin and some products don't absorb into it very quickly. But it does absorb eventually and leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh and hydrated.
I do believe it helps with fine lines as my skin feels a little more plump and the effect lasts from application at night to a soft feel and more fresh look in the morning. It doesn't irritate the sensitive patches on my skin. So I am impressed with it, especially as it is only $20.
My one criticism is the packaging. The box is way larger than the pot. This seems unnecessary and is annoying.
Essano Collagen Boot Certified Night Creme comes beautifully packaged in a small glass jar which looks luxurious on my beauty shelf.
The texture of the cream is very thick, so a little goes a long way. The first night I applied far too much and it took ages to rub into my skin and disappear. By the second night I had gotten my application right and used a pea sized amount for my face and neck over my serum treatment. The cream spread easily and absorbed rapidly making my skin feel nourished and moisturised without feeling greasy. When I woke up in the next morning, my skin had a radiant glow.
Essano Collagen Boot Certified Night Creme has quite a strong fragrance of the natural extracts used, which is why I am giving this cream 4 stars instead of 5. But, I do like that it contains natural extracts and is also not tested on animals.
I will continue to use it and think it could also be a great multitasker on any other rough and dry areas of skin such as the cuticles.
Tips: There is no applicator so to keep application hygienic, use a cotton bud. This has the added benefit of making sure you don't use too much as a little really does go a long way!
