Darphin Cleansing Aromatic Emulsion

Advantages: Reduces appearance of blotchy/red skin. Doesn't animal test. Smells nice
Disadvantages: Price!

...was done. At first I was worried the oil would make my face look oily and greasy, but after ten minutes when the oil has soaked into the skin, it dries to a matte effect. Redness has certainly been reduced after this trial period and my skin isn't nearly as blotchy. My face also feels smoother to touch and make up is more easily and evenly applied. The product has proven me wrong! On the downside, this product retails at around £40, which is alot to spend on a facial cream.

It retails between £20--£27 for a 25ml size and can be bought at most good department stores and chemists as well as on line from various perfume discount sites.

The rich fragrant ingredients that also have physical benefits include Rose de mai for toning properties Sandalwood and camomile for cleansing Orange blossom to relax muscles White jasmine Oakmoss and Patchouli When first sprayed on it is quite strong and spicey but settles down to a subtle slightly flowery fresh smell which lasts on me until I wash it off which...
