I came across this product pretty much by accident. I had ran out of the moisturiser I had been using and was in desperate need of a new one, however being a teenager I didn't have much money to get one.. So I raided my mothers beauty bag of all the products she never uses, and I came across this moisturiser which at the time had pink packaging. Being a young teenager in the winter my skin had been going through hell from having dry patches from the cold but also a few hormonal spots.. so as you can imagine I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what moisturiser would be best for my skin. All I can say is that this little discovery was the best thing to happen to my skin... I am literally in love with this and after using up the first one, I have repurchased this time and time again and will continue to do so!
The product claims to be an intensive daily moisturiser which I totally agree with as through the winter months this is literally my saviour.. During winter my skin used to turn so problematic due to the coldness on my skin and then the drastic change from indoor heating meaning my skin would loose moisture and dry out easily causing my face to get so irritated! However I don't have any dry patches what so ever any more and this product really does make my skin feel thoroughly moisturised and dare I say beautiful!
Now I also used to get a few little bumps under my skin that never really came to a head which made it annoying because I had no Idea how I would get rid of them, they were mostly along my t-zone and along the highest points of my cheeks and I hated how my skin looked... It really got me down and never liked putting make-up on top of them because I felt it would make them look worse so as you can imagine when I started using this cream and then a couple of weeks later all the bumps under my skin were virtually gone I was sooo happy!! Now I can wear make-up as much as I want and I even look forward to taking it off just so I can then apply this!
I use this moisturiser every morning after I have washed and cleansed my faced and at night If I am not using a serum. It makes your skin very dewy which I love because I just feel that I look a lot healthier. A good tip also for this cream is if you want to add a little glow to your face maybe if you have already applied your make-up use a small amount of cream on your finger and dab along your cheekbones for a dewy look!
This product also contains SPF 15 which is perfect especially for winter time as temperatures do not tend to get very high so there is no need to have to worry about applying a coat of sunscreen as this should do you, however in the summer If you use this I would suggest wearing a sunscreen also because we don't want to be getting any sun damage!
I like the packaging of this product as it is a very classic Elizabeth Arden look and also if you notice the background on the packaging has '8's on is which I think is clever. It's easy to get out due to the sqeezyness of it.
In the UK this particular cream at 50ml retails at the price of around £29. It is quite expensive but certainly worth the investment. My advice is if there is anything to do with beauty that you can invest in it would definitely be a good skin product like this because I feel a flawless base is far more important than anything else!
Overall I would 100% recommend this product especially for people who still haven't found there holy grail moisturiser and may feel like they have problematic skin. I will continue to repurchase this product as I feel that I won't ever find anything that will match it and dare I say beat it! Totally in love with this product so a very well done to the brains behind Elizabeth Arden!
