I have only been using this for 2 weeks now and the improvement in my skin quality is amazing.
For starters, my skin is a combination with a recent spate of extra dryness on the edges of my face, I am getting closer to 40 and fine lines are expanding. When I wear makeup I have noticed that the dry patches have been catching on my foundation no matter what moisturising elements I add pre and after application.
When I received this cream and read it claims I was a little hopeful that it would help firm things up and help even out the mess of skin texture. It has done and I am blown away how quickly it has done it.
You need to go gently with this powerful cream which is good in a way as it means it will last longer but I seriously only put 1 squeeze drop of it on my palm and rub between to make warm and pat into my face and neck, no rubbing or pulling just pressing as I want a firming and dragging won't help that happen.
It quickly absorbs with no scent that I can detect, and after 6 nights of use, yes I only use at night as this is far too thick and heavy for day wear it can easily make your skin go greasy and oily if you use too much. The skin area which was causing me problems was gone, the dryness had disappeared and that was visible when I wore makeup as it applied easily and settles perfectly on my face with no patchy areas.
I am so impressed with this cream after using so many so-called night creams with magic powers you get sceptical but this is great and look to keep it as my nightly routine for the foreseeable future to keep my skin happy and as youthful as I can.
I was lucky enough to get this in a Beauty Vault haul (thanks BR fairies!) and I was stoked because I wouldn't normally spend this amount of money on a moisturiser. I was wary at first - I have a history of breaking out with night creams because they're so super-intense, but I wanted to try this because its made in NZ and has no nasties in it. In fact - it has no parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oils, sulfates, artificial colours or fragrances, and no animal products apart from beeswax (and they're insects really, lets get real). In fact, there's so little of anything in this product, you wonder how they can even fill up the tube. But they did. In fact, for the price, it's quite a decent size. And you only need the very tiniest amount because it spreads very easily and sinks in quickly. So bonus - good value for money. It smells quite nice and natural, a bit botanical without being flowery, and its very moisturising. It keeps my skin soft and supple without any oily residue - great for (ahem) more mature skins like mine. Best of all - no breakouts! I really like this cream - if you don't mind spending a little extra, this is definitely a good one to try.
Tips: A little goes a very long way - too much and it gets a bit sticky.
