Snowberry Rejuvenating Night Cream Review

I had a huge struggle initially to get the pump to start . i pumped and pumped and nothing happened .I shook the container and tried again and a tiny pit splurted out. Not a good start. The next night I tried and was able to make the pump work although it is inclined to misdirect. The product once I got the pump to work is lovely.I expected it to be white but is is a creamy colour with a very light scent. I cream felt like silk although thick and creamy and just absorbed into my skin immediately. I love the feel of this on my skin and my skin feels so lovely next day too. Yes it is expensive but it makes my skin feel amazing.

The product comes in a pump which is really helps to keep it nice and hygienic. I find usually 1-2 pumps is enough for my face. This has a lovely texture- moisturising but not oily/sticky, feels like a water-cream. Spreads easily and nicely hydrating. Very minimal scent which I really like as I find it hard to find a product not targeted for sensitive skin that doesn't have a strong scent.

I was attracted to it’s packaging. The design is simple and elegant. It has pumping unit to dispense the product. Just enough amount is pumped which is a good thing because there is a lesser chance of wasting product. The consistency of the lotion is not too thick and not too runny. I didn’t like it’s smell. The product glides well on the skin but takes a bit time to absorb completely. I have been using it for a while. My skin does feel a bit soft in the morning but no other changes I can notice. There are a lot cheaper products that can moisturise skin so I am not sure that I would but it again.

I picked this up in the Vault and was VERY excited to try it as I love their original serum and have bought many bottles of it. Unfortunately, this did not live up the bar set by its sister skincare.

The packaging is classic Snowberry - white tube with a cute picture on the front. It's a pump pack, which is handy and makes it feel more hygienic.

The scent is... off-putting. Initially it smells fresh but it quickly turns, and when I asked my husband for his opinion he described it as 'rotting cucumber', which sums it up perfectly. I can't stand the scent, but would put up with it if the product worked wonders on my skin.

The lotion is white and creamy and seems to absorb quickly, however I found in the mornings I was waking up with oily skin (my skin is dry) and when I washed my face in the shower it felt like a slippery layer was being removed from my skin.

As for seeing improvements to my skin? It did look hydrated, but I can get hydration without the stench and the slippery/oily skin at a much more affordable price.

Sorry, Snowberry. I'll stick to your serum but this night cream is a pass.

I was super excited to be able to afford this Snowberry product in the Beauty Vault as I would normally never spend that much on a night cream. It was my first time using a Snowberry product, and I really love the pretty packaging. I like to support NZ made products, and I think it’s great that Snowberry uses NZ ingredients like Kanuka honey and Harakeke seed extract in this product. Unfortunately, my excitement did not last when I first used the product. When I squeezed the cream onto my fingers I did not love the colour, and I instantly disliked the smell of the cream. I know that these are both personal preferences, which is why I have not given this product lower ratings, but I definitely will not get this cream again. To me the cream smells cheap and artificial, and the yellow colour of it is not pleasant. Maybe my expectations were simply incredibly high for what I consider a pretty high end brand. The consistency of the cream is a medium weight, not too thin, but not sticky, and it absorbs into the skin nicely. I have not noticed any “rejuvenation” from using this cream, but it seems to hydrate the skin well. I am disappointed by the large amount of material used for the packaging, both for the dispenser, as well as for the leaflet included in the box, which is simply advertising material. In summary, I was quite disappointed with my experience of this “fancy” product, but I also understand that others might react differently to the appearance and scent of the cream.

I was very excited to try this moisturiser! I saved up my points to purchase it. I chose to ignore the reviews about the smell. I always go for items that have no added scents as it’s more natural. I do look after my skin and always go for a good quality moisturiser. This comes it a really beautiful bottle. I love that the pump makes it easy to choose how much you dispense. It smells fine. I would not say it’s bad, you can just tell it’s natural. I did expect it to do a better job at offering a good amount of moisture for my skin. It is a very light moisturiser. It did not provide the hydrating effect it states. I now let my daughter use this $90 product. I would not recommend for this price.
