Lonneke: "Very nicely scented, rich cream that absorbs quickly."

It is a very rich cream, yet it feels very light. It absorbs quickly and has a subtle scent. My skin does not feel oily. I have sensitive skin, but the product balances it well. I use it in the morning, but as far as I'm concerned, you could also use it in the evening. I use it too briefly to see any effect, but the first impression is positive. Given the sensitivity of my skin, I'm often a bit skeptical, but I dared to use this.

Functioning score 4/5

I used the product too briefly to really experience the effect, but my first impression is positive.

Karima: "Nice creamy cream that smells great."

I had the opportunity to test this product for the past 3 weeks and I must say that I like the cream. The cream is a day cream I have used under my SPF and light foundation for the past few weeks. I have also used the cream several times as a night cream, so on top of my serums.

I have dehydrated skin that tends to look oily during the day. When using this cream under SPF and foundation, I noticed that my skin seemed slightly oilier. I regret that the cream does not contain SPF because then I could apply the cream without having to apply SPF over it.

All in all, I did find that my skin felt a bit softer at the end of the day. Especially when I used the cream at night (I only did a few times), my skin was super soft. The cream is nice and creamy and smells great, so is nice to apply and otherwise does not curl when I used it with the rest of my skincare products.

Functioning score 3/5

The cream is hydrating, but on long days under makeup, I don't really notice a difference from my regular routine. When I used the product at night, my skin seemed extra hydrated in the morning.

Smell score 4/5

Lovely fragrance! Very soft, and not too intense.

Texture score 4/5

The cream is nice and creamy.

Price-quality score 3/5

 

Overall score 4/5

I highly recommend this product to people with dry/sensitive skin. This cream under an SPF may be a bit too much for someone with oily skin like me.

Positive points

  • Nice cream.
  • Smells lovely.
  • Easy to apply.

Negative points

  • Can look greasy under SPF and foundation.

Korina: "Fast-absorbing moisturizer, which is also economical to use."

I received this for home-testing. After cleansing, I applied the product to my face and neck in the morning. Upon first use, I noticed the strong smell of the cream. You have to love that; at least I had to get used to it. I have a sensitive, dehydrated skin. It is a creamy, rich, non-greasy cream that spreads well and absorbs quickly. The cream feels soft on the skin. You don't have to wait long to apply your makeup, which is nice. The cream moisturizes, conditions, soothes, and softens my skin. The dry patches near my nose and mouth disappeared after a few days. Also, my skin feels super well-hydrated. The cream is economical to use.

Functioning score 4/5

The cream cares for and moisturizes very well.

Smell score 2/5

The cream is strongly scented. My personal preference goes to a less strong scented cream.

Texture score 4/5

Nice, easily spreadable texture.

Price-quality score 4/5

Very good cream at a friendly price.
