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.
...(WAD) is officially ON! And Chanel are late into the fray 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 ... ...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, cleanser, toner, scrub, mask and several tiny atomisers ...

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 ... ...and as it has the Chanel label there are seldom special offers in store but I see this product as an investment. Prior to buying this I tried several different combinations of products, which all add up. I estimate that this pot will last me around 3 months, so that equates rounghly to £10 a month. I could easily have spent this much on many different items which did not work for me. I guess it comes down to finding a product which works which you ...

Advantages: The packaging is nice,it smells nice too & looks good on your dressing table Disadvantages: Price,not suitable for sensitive skin
...is as old as the CHANEL brand!
The same thing happened to me.One day I was in Debenhams and I saw the most flashiest cream ever :-))
CHANEL Precision Hydramax is as the add says a product that "acts on all of the skin's hydration mechanisms"
This particular Face cream it's part of the Hydramax range which includes *HYDRAMAX + SÉRUM INTENSE MOISTURE BOOST *HYDRAMAX + TINTED - SPF 15 TINTED MOISTURE BOOST
* HYDRAMAX + MOISTURE BOOST GEL CREAM *HYDRAMAX ... ...with the lady at the CHANEL counter I decided to buy a pot of CHANEL miracle!
(The thing the you should do if you decide to buy it is to ask for a sample-which I did but she told me they didn't have any left)
Very proud of my cute CHANEL bag and deciding to ignore the fact that I broke the bank I got home and couldn't wait to play with my new toy! I cleansed my face and applied some fair amount of cream.I was surprised to find out that it wasn't ...

Advantages: wonderful hydrating cream Disadvantages: price , but worth it
Put this gel-cream onto your skin and the first thing you will notice is the cooling sensation .... lovely and refreshing , with that distinctive light , natural smell that comes with a quality product
The next thing will be the feel .. its like you have just given your skin an enormous drink of cold water .. it feels plump , firm and impossibly soft
This is a product that you might be tempted to over-use simply because it feels so good , but a ... ...morning and night , on top of my treatment products , and until Ive applied it I dont feel fresh and ready for either a busy day or a good night's sleep.
You can literally feel the boost in moisture as the skin drinks it in , and other people have noticed it on my skin ... it seems to leave a " glow "
The chunky square design of the jar isnt the most practical , or the easiest to handle ( it can feel very clumsy ) , but the contents are good enough ...

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 ... ...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 pot lasts around 7 or 8 months and you get what you pay for in terms of quality of ingredients, i wouldnt swap ...
