As far as moisturizer is concerned it's another product to which I have absolutely no brand loyalty; I must have incredibly tough skin because nothing seems to irritate it!
So, I decided to try this one out because I needed moisturizer, and it was "there".
PRODUCT AND PACKAGING
The cream comes in a tub with a screw on/off lid, which I like as I can get to the last bits of cream.
The cream itself is a white, lightly perfumed cream which is not especially thick, and which is absorbed easily by the skin. It appears to be non greasy; I say this because I am not left with a layer of cream on my face, but rather, the cream rub easily into my skin without a trace.
A real plus is that the cream is SPF6 and includes UVA and UVB filters, so it does provide some sun protection, although I wouldn't advocate using it as your normal sun protection. It's reassuring though, for days when the sun suddenly appears, and you realize you don't want to soak up those harmful rays.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The tub I bought is 75ml and cost the princely sum of £3.99, although I have seen 100ml tubs.
The cream is widely available in chemists and supermarkets.
MADE BY…
Elida Faberge, London
WHAT I THOUGHT
I have almost finished this tub, and have been fairly happy with it. Whilst not the most creamy, moisturizing cream I have ever used, it has done the job for me. However, for people with very dry or sensitive skin, I don't know how useful it would be, mainly because it is perfumed and could cause reactions in some people. Himself has dry skin, and swears he wouldn't touch it; could be the perfume, could be that it's just not moisturising enough.
The cream is easily absorbed and non greasy, with SPF added so as well as moisturizing your skin, it also protects it.
It is very reasonably priced, but I have found that quite a lot is needed to feel a though my skin has been adequately moisturized. Remember, though, that it is a day cream, and although I have been using it through the day, i do think you need something a bit more nourishing at night (banish the wrinkes and all that!!)
Would I recommend it? Yes for people who like a very light moisturizing cream, and whose skin is not especially dry, and also for skin which can tolerated perfume. I will therefore be giving it an average score, but recommending it although I have given my reasons for the recommendations.
Thanks for reading.
