This product has been an absolute gem! Firstly it comes in a pot toe which is attractive (to name) and a decent amount. The odour is of mild green apple - yum! Having a SPF 30 is a good starting point for a moisturiser and I do not like to entertain the idea of purchasing any moisturiser without a SPF content. The cream it self is easy to apply, it is light and fluffy, soaks into skin well and doesn’t leave white patches or greasy areas.
My only disappointment is that it doesn’t come with an application stick, and so finger dipping is required.
Then the twist, my man decided he wanted to try it as well - my own fault for mentioning the sun protection! Of course he was always going to be happy with the smell, it matches his preferred shampoo. But the way it soaks in, and he can apply it easily without looking like he is wearing sunblock has been the best thing. He has also taken to applying it to the back of his hands, which get a hammering from the sun with working outside. The best thing about him liking this product so much, is that it is highly likely he will be purchasing it, and I can share lol!
This product trial happened to come up just as I finished using up my Nivea anti aging moisturizer and I was super excited to give it a good go. The packaging itself was really good and expensive looking. It had all the good "I am a working product" vibes. Being someone who loves baking, the word "whip" on the product definitely reminded me of cloudy airy whipped cream texture and made me look forward to the next morning. ( yes I know! Weird but wonderful ;) ) Moving on to the actual product package, again it lives up to Olay standards of beautiful, heavy but not too much, the lovely silver sheen in the red was a gorgeous touch. The product itself at the first touch did not feel as airy and whipped as I would have imagined...it still felt like a slightly lighter normal moisturizer. But that's the only negative for me. The rest of the product quality was awesome, it did exactly what was promised. In fact I walked out of the house to the beach on the weekend with just the moisturizer and came back without a single burn on my face. I am a person who gets sunburnt very easily. I can tell you that was very impressive. Also another time I noticed a real difference was when I was videochatting with family. I usually look tired and worn out at the end of the day, but I was pleasantly surprised to find myself looking fresh and my skin was glowing. It keeps my skin matte and oil free all day long. I have religiously used it from the day I received it and feel really lucky and happy to have been introduced to it. I know for sure when I see it on the counters that I can purchase it without a doubt.
