I picked this up in a vault, and I'm enjoying it - but would I pay for it? Probably not. It's no miracle cream and I've used comparable cheaper ones from other brands.
So saying, it's lovely. Evolu are well known as a kiwi brand who are in a more expensive price bracket due to the use of natural products and non-inclusion of what they term 'nasty chemicals'.
This cream features oakleaf fern, nori and ulva marine algaes, hazelnut protein and shea butter. It has a strong botanical scent which I found offputting at first but got used to.
It's a lovely thick cream which leaves skin hydrated and supple, with minimal residue. I haven't broken out or reacted, and I enjoy using it - just can't justify that price tag for it, really! Luckily the (very simple) packaging is an inverted tube, so you can control how much you're dispensing and make it last.
I love this night cream! I received it in the BBBE Cruelty Free edition (seriously that particular beauty box is just full of goodness!) and going on 2 months of use with probably 40ml left (of the 75ml – yes I’m a tad too generous with the product).
Now admittedly I wasn’t a huge fan of the semi-sweet natural (almost cheap) scent but I figure because it doesn’t have the usual nice smelling chemicals that I would just have to make do and now it smells pleasant. I wish it came with a flip-top as I hate having to screw on lids but once you see how it performs all these minor things are just pedantic.
It has a fluid consistency that you need to work into the skin but its lightweight. I love to apply a lot where my face feels sticky but give it a minute or two and it’ll dry down nicely and I feel like I’m left with a nice lightweight mask.
I generally roll my eyes when companies name their products with words like “regenerative” but I kid you not this cream is working hard at night. It has given me a smoother complexion (it’s not flawless but it’s noticeably different) and my skin tone has gone up a notch.
As much as I love to give all the credit to this product, I do use a combination of skincare products but I have really started to see the difference with the addition of this night cream.
I had no clue this product was pricey (I probably would have not applied so much!) but it's worth every penny. I recall using a sample sachet 2 years ago and that’s really not enough to make a call on whether this is good or not. If you’re able to get hold of a couple of sachets I’m pretty sure you may find a gem.
