Dr Lewinn's Eternal Youth Luminosity Day and Night Cream Review

When I was accepted into this trial I was so excited to give this a try as my night cream had come to an ending. My skin type is dry especially during this winter period . Over a course of two weeks I got to give this cream a try. I solely used this for both day and night use in connection with a cleanser toner and day and night serums.

When this cream arrived to me it came in a beautiful shiny gold box. Inside this is a double glazed frosted jar with an inner jar holding this cream. This lid looks just like a diamond which is glitzy and glamorous . A show stopper amongst my other plan jane skin care products. When I unscrew this lid I find this thick decadent off yellow beige cream. It smells like fresh florals and musks pulling together a one of kind fragrance.

After preparing my skin with cleansers and toners I find this cream applies like a breeze. Takes several minutes to absorb. Works well with serums. Be mindful about the type of cleanser you use as this does have an impact of the absorbtion timeframe and setting result. I found natural cleansers work well with it rather than mainstream based cleansers.

When I was driving I noticed the sunlight on my face and I was illuminating with specks of gold. I looked glowy. It was just like a highlighter. I was absolutely shocked. Maybe this was the 24 Karat gold in it. As a day cream my skin felt hydrated soft and glowy. As a night cream by morning my skin is rejuvenated and clear. It looked amazingly good. I did have a breakout when I switched cleansers but my skin has been restored with some help from my masks and serums.

What really caught me about this cream is it's multi purpose use for both day and night. This cream definitely does work for both day . From the packaging through to the consistency of this cream it is pure elegance and luxurious. If I could repurchase this I would. My skin is amazingly restored in a good condition during the harshest time of year for my skin. It was a delightful experience to give this a go. Thank you BR.

A big thank you to Beauty Review for letting me trial this product!

I’ve actually heard a little bit about the Luminosity range from Dr Lewinn’s Eternal Youth product line and there seemed to be quite a bit of hype about it – even the packaging advises that its already received 4/5 stars from another beauty review company.

I, however, was not impressed.

Firstly the product looks, feels and smells lovely – quite lightweight and almost gel-like in texture with a really pleasant fresh and slightly floral scent.

I applied the product generously to my face and neck (as per the instructions on the box) and at first it felt great – really silky and cooling – but I didn’t find it moisturising at all. And then after a few moments, it seemed to set on my skin (it felt like makeup) and it went a bit streaky and felt quite powdery. Upon reviewing the ingredients I noticed that the second ingredient is Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate which (according to Dr Google) is an ingredient commonly found in makeup such as face powder. Could this be the reason why?

The following day I used less product and while it didn’t streak as previously mentioned, my skin still didn’t feel hydrated at all. I also found that there was too much shimmer, which I found odd in a product that you wore to bed.

The instructions on the box advised that results are visible after 9 days however, I only lasted 5 at which point my skin felt tight and more dry than usual. However in all fairness, the product doesn’t claim to be super hydrating. I also didn’t use the Dr Lewinn’s Eternal Youth Luminosity Day and Night Golden Essence as the instructions suggest.

I also felt that with a RRP of nearly $75 and instructions to use generously both morning and night, this product could prove very costly for some.

Would I recommend this to a friend? To my friends with dry and/or dehydrated skin – no. It’s simply not moisturising enough. But if dehydration is not an issue for you, you may have better results.

First of all thank you BR for selecting me to review this product! Secondly, I admired the packaging for a good 10 minutes before I actually took the lid off. It was too gorgeous that I had to let this beauty have it's own space on my dresser (everything else got shoved in my drawer - sorry other beauty brands!). The solid plastic pot was topped with a plastic silver lid with a 3D mirror/kaleidoscope design to replicate a diamond and came packaged in a metallic rose gold box - hmm not going to be easy to throw this away when I'm done!

It wasn't until I took the lid off that I realised what the rose gold box was about. The cream is a light rose gold colour with shimmer (diamond powder) though it, which provides the luminosity on my skin. The fresh mellow floral scent is not too strong, and was barely noticeable after I applied my makeup. The cream is very lightweight and silky and spreads very easily over my skin.

The directions say to use after cleansing and toning which I tried a couple of times. I have dry skin so the two times I tried it with NO other product (except toner), within a couple of hours some parts of my skin were screaming for more moisture. I found by using an oil before using the cream was more comfortable and had no issues. This claims to generate long term brightness with visible effects in 9 days. This cream definitely brightens my face as soon as it hits my face but there have been no noticeable effects when I'm not wearing it. I've been using it for a good 9/10 days now (morning and evening as directed) and there's still plenty of product left to see if this changes.

Overall I love the luminosity this cream gives my skin and I love the convenience of having a cream that can be used day and night.

I loved this product the minute I set eyes on it. The crystal like pottle adorned my bathroom like the reigning jewel that it is. The cream is lush and light with a hint of rose scent. It spread onto my skin with ease and was absorbed quickly - no grease! It only took a week to notice that my pores were smaller and the skin under my eyes was brighter. Such a gorgeous product.

Loved Loved Loved! The packaging is pretty cute and the scent is really fresh. Loved the texture, it’s super soft and after one application my skin felt instantly hydrated and stayed hydrated for full day. I applied more at night as my skin dried out over the cold south island wintry nights. Overall The texture of my skin felt smoother and the lines around my eyes stood out less. My skin looks and feels healthier and had a slight glow. i would love to say this would replace my current day and night cream BUT but as its around the $70 mark I will purchase when the budget allows.

i have always been a sceptic about using a "anti age " or youth cream but i was excited about trying this and i am so happy i got to. where so i start i loved this Eternal Youth Cream so much, it is so soft and silky when applying the cream you can almost feel your skin sucking it up straight away. It went on with ease. Now to the smell AMAZING its hard to get a good cream but also one that smells amazing as well makes it so much easier to use. i left writing the review until the last day just so i could see if there was a difference, and there was a major difference my skin feels and looks amazing and hasn't felt dry once since i started using this. i had so many comment on my skin and also the way it shined with the 24 karet gold in it. I also found that my make up went on really easy. All round i loved Dr Lewinn's luminosity Day and Night Cream and this is one product i will continue yo buy...

I am also very sceptical about anti aging products, especially ones that are called eternal youth :P but I was presently surprised.

The packaging is awesome, looks great on my dresser which is always an added bonus, and the cream itself smells amazing.

My skin is usually normal, but I sometimes struggle with heavy creams which this appeared to be. Once it went on though, it was great, and it didn't make my skin oily and didn't feel heavy at all.

Liquid make up blends amazing over it, and I loved the fact that it is a night and day cream, as it can be hard to come across a good one.

It definitely makes the skin look instantly luminous, I was really really impressed by this and am even comfortable not wearing any foundation when I have put this on because it makes my skin look so good.

Am yet to see the long term brightness, hence the 4 stars, but I am confident based on the instant brightness that this will come!

I really loved this product and because it goes so far I will be prepared to pay the $75 for some more

I was so excited to try this cream. It comes in the most gorgeous jar, all sparkly like a gem. I usually prefer pump containers, but this is thick enough that a jar is best- just make sure not to dip grubby fingers in!

The cream itself smells really nice and fresh, and for such a thick cream it doesn't feel heavy. It absorbs surprisingly well and doesn't leave any greasy marks on my pillow. I've only used it in the evening as I prefer spf in day creams.

I've been using it for a few weeks and my skin loves it. I'd have to use it for longer to see if it lives up to the "Eternal Youth" name! My skin feels smooth and firm and it hasn't broken me out- there aren't too many products that leave my face feeling so nice!

Gar don't you hate it when you fall in love with an expensive product?!

Now I know people give pottles a bad rep for being unhygienic, but they never really bother me. I moisturise after I've had a shower, so I figure my fingers are clean. And it's not like I invite all and sundry to jab their dirty fingers in it, so me and the pottle are good.

What gorgeous packaging. The box is pure quality (I'm not a fan of extra packaging, but this was a delight to receive so I won't moan). The container is luxury. Heavy, sturdy, with a blinging faceted top. But it's not about the bling, the bling, the bling, it's about the product.

Which is blinging. Erm hello, it contains real gold. GOLD. (did you sing that Spandau Ballet stylie?!) The cream looks like a biege tinted moisturiser and it smells so fresh. Like cucumbers. It's a lotion consistency. It applies beautifully, absorbs quickly, the smell lasts a wee while, but it's not an annoying smell.

I have combo skin, oily t zone, dry cheeks/forehead. This product left my skin feeling smooth, soft and even, oily patches were de-oiled, dry patches were moisturised.

Now there's a lot science-y / marketing talk attached to this product, so let's cut to the chase. If I use it morning and night it's going to make my skin luminous and it's going to improve my skin cell production, meaning I should look glowy and youthful after 9 days.

And I do. Seriously. I wish I'd taken before and after photos. I'm prone to sallow skin and dull skin, I usually rely on makeup to give me a glow, but on makeup free days I'm looking fresh and have a nice glow. Not a shine, definitely important to mention that this doesn't make you shiny!

The only reason I marked this down slightly was the price. There's not a huge amount of product for the price tag (well it does contain gold...) and to be fair, a combined 'day and night cream' is essentially just a moisturiser.

But I will definitely be checking out more of the range and yes, I'll probably be picking up another one of these. And hiding the receipt.

Firstly the scent is to die for. The texture is soft and creamy and left my skin feeling amazing. No heavy residue that you get sometimes with face creams. I prefer a tube as I find potties can be a little unhygienic. I suffer with rosacea so I normally use a custom made skincare to avoid irritating my skin however this cream didn't give me any grief and is priced better than my current skincare products so it may be worth switching.
