I am quite picky when it comes to facial moisturizers and looked forward to trialing this one, unfortunately it didn’t quite live up to my expectations.
The packaging is nice, it comes in a glass jar with a screw top lid, the scent is pleasant and not too overpowering – lavender can be quite strong but this does settle into the skin quickly. I found I needed quite a big dollop of this to really feel like it was working well to moisturize my combination skin, the texture is nice and thick but I did not feel like it gave me a deep moisturized feeling under my makeup like other products do. It absorbs into the skin well and doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy, yet it almost feels like my skin is dry and moisturized after an hour or two.
Loved the attractive mint green packaging, I feel it will draw attention to itself on the supermarket shelves, and the fact that it's clearly labelled 'organic' and 'vegan' on the front of the box will get people interested right away. I have never used vegan or organic products before and are pleased to know they will be readily avaible at the supermarket. I liked the nice glass jar it came in too, there's something about using a product out of glass compaired to plastic. I found the smell of the Lavadin a bit too strong, and feel this face cream would be better marketed as a night cream, it made me feel sleepy! My Daughter said it smelt beautiful like a garden, my Husband did not like it at all and said I smelt like and old lady!. after the first few days of using it my skin had a break out, but maybe that was from switching from my usual brand of face cream? it got better over the few weeks I used it. Would I buy it again? most likely not. I did not enjoy the smell or the consistency. would I recommend it to a friend? probably not either. sorry but this Day cream was not a hit for me.
