Chanel Precision Hydramax Serum

Chanel Precision Hydramax +, a real plus!

Advantages: Smooth hydrating, luxurious cream.
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to high street products

Chanel Precision Hydramax Moisture Boost Cream is a truly luxurious treat for your skin. I was lucky enough to be treated to this gorgeous product during a pre-christmas shopping trip, which made life a lot easier for my boyfriend as the product was recommended at the Chanel counter to us based upon my skin type. I would highly recommend anyone considering luxury skin products such as this to visit the actual in store counter to try before they shop online and buy. Plus they often give you free samples to take home, fantastic! So whats it like? I have problems with fairly dry skin so I needed something to hydrate my skin without making it greasy and bringing me out in spots. The blue cream is very thick and well, creamy, which actually makes it great value for money as you only need apply a small amount to your face. Once ...

Review of Chanel Precision Hydramax Cream

Chanel's Many-Headed Hydramax

Advantages: Formulations for all skin types (cream, gel and lotion), smoother skin that feels toned after a couple of applications, matching serum top-up for extra dry skin, one jar lasts for ages and smells fresh, clean and gorgeous.
Disadvantages: Prohibitively expensive for a straight-up, non anti-ageing facial moisturiser. Lightly perfumed and non-hypoallergenic - unsuitable for sensitive skin.

with their Hydramax collection that offers Evian for the dermis at champagne prices. Hydramax is available in three varieties for different skin types - cream (dry/extra dry), cream gel (normal/oily), fluid (normal/dry). All of which carry the painful pricetag of £35 for 50ml at Boots.com. If you want their top-up Hydramax Serum, that's an extra £38 and promises to intensify the effects of other Hydramax products. Yep, the WAD is certainly going to cost you one at the Chanel counter, where they launch weapons of cash-extraction in under 45 seconds. And if that fails - they'll invite you to a product evening and doom you with freebies... Which is how I ended up buying the Hydramax cream and serum - I came back from a product evening at Boots in Liverpool with a little goodie bag full of no-purchase-necessary Hydramax trial sizes: cream, serum ...

Review of Chanel Precision Hydramax Cream

Chanel Hydramax Cream a miracle for dry/sensitive skin

Advantages: Perfect for troubled skin and a luxurious treat
Disadvantages: May be too heavy for oily skins - therefor go for hydramax gel

I have been using Chanel Hydramax Cream for 6 years because it really is the only cream i have ever got on with. My skin is dry and sensitive and this is just so so soothing and comforting, the texture is thick and creamy, you can apply a very small amount which sinks in quickly but more often i use a large blob which makes for a nice buttery massage after which it will take around 5 minutes to sink in completely. This makes a perfect base for make up with no clashing of textures or greasy residue. Your skin is left feeling soft, plumped and comfortable and definetly like what you expect having just used an expensive cream. The scent is just like strawberry angels delight thanks to fruit and flower extracts, this also contains lavender and shea butter. The price tag is a little scary but in my opinion this cream is worth every penny, one ...
