The Herb Farm Nourishing Rose Face Cream Review

The skin on my face can be a bit temperamental so I wasn’t expecting to love this moisturiser too easily. I find I need a thick and creamy moisturiser that can really let my skin drink up some moisture but a lot of thicker, creamier moisturisers will also leave my skin oily and greasy.

The rose face cream is a lovely soft cream packed with moisture. I love that it feels thick and nourishing going on but isn’t heavy at all. Even with a generous layer it soaks right into my skin and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. I have also found it provides a good base under my foundation.

I really love the feel of this face cream. It has a good balance between a light and fluffy texture and a thick, nourishing formula which is great for me as I love the feel of lightweight moisturisers but my skin needs a bit more than they tend to offer.

The only thing I’m not 100% sure on is the scent. If you’re a fan of rose, then go for it. I tend to go for unscented or very delicate scents with my skincare so while this scent is certainly pleasant and not at all overwhelming I’m just not sure I want that much scent in a face cream.

All in all it is an excellent product from a lovely Kiwi company with a great philosophy towards producing natural products. I am very impressed with this product and will certainly be looking to check out more of the range, especially given how reasonable the prices are for a natural range.

As someone who has dry/combination skin, this has been a really lovely product to try out. My main concerns when it comes to moisturiser is that it is rich enough to prevent dryness and flakiness, but light enough to sink in quickly and sit well/not interfere with any makeup I wear that day.

I find that this moisturiser ticks all the above boxes. It’s a fairly thick, white cream, but a little goes a long way (I use about a 20 cent size amount) and it blends out somewhat like a lotion. It does take a couple of minutes to absorb and sink in properly, but once it has done that it doesn’t leave any kind of tacky residue like some richer creams are prone to do. It doesn’t interfere with the appearance or wear time of my makeup, and in fact I feel like my t-zone hasn’t been getting shiny as quickly as it sometimes does.

As the name would suggest, it has a rose fragrance. I personally like it, as it reminds me very much of plain rosewater, which is something I love. Once I’ve rubbed it in I can sometimes detect a faint herbally scent also which isn’t as pleasant, but it’s not strong enough to bother me, and it fades very quickly.

I love the look of the packaging, from the brown glass jar to the font. It is a jar rather than a squeezy tube or pump bottle, which does have its cons, but I don’t mind it, and it does look very cute sitting on my dresser.

In terms of its claims, I do think that it makes my skin soft and protected. However, I haven’t noticed any improvement in skin-tone in the couple of weeks that I’ve had to trial it, so I can’t say for certain whether that claim is true (hence the slightly lowered rating).

For the price, this is a really luxurious moisturiser that I would be more than happy to repurchase. Definitely worth checking out if you have slightly dryer skin!

I received this in the NZ Brands Best Ever Beauty Box 2. I do love natural skincare products. This face cream is a pastel pink and has that delicate rose absolute scent. Now what I do really like about this face cream is that it's really comforting and moisturizing for sensitive skin. I've had hayfever and the area around my nose was really red, irritated and peeling from constantly sneezing. This cream was really soothing and helped calm the skin down a bit as well as providing some moisture without it feeling really heavy and thick. This winter I have used this during the day under my spf moisturizer and at night as my night cream. I have been trying out some new chemical exfoliators and peels that caused some tingling and prickling so I like to apply this on over them as my last layer of skincare and this helps calm my skin down and fade the stinging sensations from using peels and acids. The ingredients of this moisturizer are water, sweet almond oil, glycerin, glyceryl stearate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, evening primrose oil, alkanna tinctoria root (Alkanet) in sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, organic shea butter, organic aloe leaf powder 200x, and rose absolute oil. The price for this natural face cream is pretty reasonable. Despite being slightly thicker it hasn't taken a really long time to absorb or made me break out. I think if I were using this during the summer I would find it a bit to thick and heavy for my taste, unless I was just applying it over any irritated skin from hayfever. But during winter it has hit the dry spots on my skin. In fact if don't apply any facial oil under this and just use toner it actually absorbs rather quickly. I think this is a good reasonably priced option for sensitive skin and I'm giving a pot to my sister since she has uber sensitive skin that reacts to everything.

Classic I think. Love the slight pink colour and rose scent this moisturiser has. While it would be better if the pot came with a spatula for ease of getting the product out, it applied well and absorbed quickly without any stickiness.

only need a little for your whole face.

I found this a good product to use with my CC cream which has a 50 SPF, as the moisturiser doesn't have any sun protection included.

This product comes in a nice little jar but doesnt have a lot of information about it on the label. It is quite a thick, light pink cream. I wasnt sure i would like this product as im not a big fan of rose scented things but it is pretty subtle and the smell goes away not long after applying. Due to its thickness a little goes a long way so you dont need to use a lot. It leaves my skin feeling very nice and soft and it also leaves it feeling moisturized for the whole day, which is awesome if you have dry skin like mine.

I receieved this face cream in the NZ Brands 2 BBBE. It's not something that I would have picked out from a store myself for the fact that it's lacking SPF and anti-aging properties. These things are fairly important to me when it comes to face creams, never the less, i'm pleasantly surprised with this one.

This cream jar comes packaged in a nice little box, the jar is a heavy glass with a plastic screw top, basic and practical.

This cream is pastel pink in color and has a smoothly spicy rose fragrance. It's quite a thick, heavy and slightly oily cream that spreads/blends beautifully, and is a little slow absorbing.

I don't use this facial cream on my face and i'm a little hesitant to because; It's not ideal for a day cream due to the density of it and it doesn't provide SPF. As a night facial cream, well I would use it if I didn't have much else, but bascially I have other facial products that boast anti-aging properties which I beleive are probably more beneficial for me.

I use this cream on my neck and chest, at night after a shower, and have noticed that it does something awesome..

You know when you sleep hard on your side for a long time, and so you wake up with long, deep vertical crease lines all over your chest, looking as if you've aged 40 years night..? And it can take ages for those creases to dissapear in the morning..

Well, this lovely, super hydration providing cream, completely prevents that non-beauty sleep dilhemma described above. I love this cream for that! Being a hard side-sleeper, the experience of these chesty crease line occurs all too often, and honestly I feel slightly disturbed by how aged and wrinkly it looks.

I'm loving this cream as a night time beauty helper, it's super hydrating and I find the scent to be comforting and calming at the time of day that I use it. I'm open to purchasing this product in the future, and definitely recommend as a great product for the décolletage area of the body.

I received this moistuiser as part of the NZ Brands Beauty Box 2. I admit, I had not heard of this brand before receiving one of their creams in the box.

It comes in a white and pink box, and says it is suitable for normal skin, including sensitive. The box does not specify if it is for day or night, so I decided to start using it as a night cream once my current night cream ran out. Some of its key ingredients are: rose, jojoba and sweet almond oil. The cream is in a little brown glass pot with a black lid. The cream itself is pastel pink with a mild, not unpleasant scent.

I have dry skin, and this seems to be quite a rich cream. It absorbs well into my dry skin, and I have not noticed any irritation so far. I find the cream to be nourishing, and I have woken up with hydrated skin.

Having shopped around looking for a natural product I decided to try a The Herb Farm product and settled on the Rose range. Excellent price range so was affordable on my budget. Comes in a easy to use 50ml dark glass jar. Although I'm not a 'rose' person and was a bit sceptical about the fragrance at first I'm now not noticing it. The pink coloured cream is quite thick and only a small amount is needed, goes on lovely and my skin absorbs the cream nicely with no oily residue left. My skin is definitely much softer and smoother since I have been using. Only downside is it doesn't have an SPF in it but overall I'm very happy with this product.

I'll try absolutely anything with rose in it haha. Beautiful ! I received a sample and ended up buying it Wonderful hydration, gorgeous feel on the skin and the scent of roses is beautiful.
