Superdrug Natural High Night Cream

I went to superdrug about two weeks ago and I saw this product online and it looked really good, and it also contains quite a lot of natural ingredients in it (hense the name) which is great. I have really really dry skin and it is quite sensitive too, so I am always cautious when buying skin care products as I don't know if my skin will become irritate because of it.

*About the product*

It comes in a 75ml screw top jar, it is a light mint green colour and it is made by superdrug. Superdrug is also against animal testing. This product is dermatologically tested and it suitable for vegetarians and vegans to use, and as I am a vegetarian (for nearly 6 years now) it is great that products like this are becoming more widely available (for example, Lush and body shop).

*My opinion of this product*

-Packaging/container

Firstly it the packaging does not look great at all, it looks cheap and tacky, although that is not that important. It comes in a screw top jar/tube which I really don't like. I don't like any product that comes in containers like this as it is not very hygienic.

-Colour/appearance/scent

The cream is white and it is super super thick, as you would expect a night cream to be. It also smells quite nice, I don't really know the exact scent but it is kind of sweet, summery, floral-ish scent. The scent does stay on my skin but it does become more subtle, although I really quite like the smell of it.

-Ingredients

This product contains the following main ingredients: Organic soya bean which helps nourish the skin, Natural cereal extract which softens and helps prevent the signs of aging and canola oil which is a anti-inflammatory (rich in vitamin E).

-Application and results

This may sound a little odd, but I use this product as a day cream...yes I know it is a night cream, but I have really really super dry skin and a tiny little bit of eczema on my face and I have to use really thick moisturising creams other wise my skin is flaky and dry, which isn't that great.

I find that this product is fantastic for my incredibly dry sensitive skin and it does not irritate really - when I apply it initially my skin is a little little bit tingly but then this goes away within about a minute.

It leaves my skin really really smooth, super moisturised and really soft too, with a very slight hint of the florally sweet fragrance the product has. It is really thick so I would it would take ages for the product to absorb but it doesn't. It gives me enough time to apply my tinted mosituriser and blend it in and then it is absorbed, but it still leaves my skin really super mositurised and hydrated.

So I put this product on after I have washed my face with my avene gentle cleanser, see my previous review for more information, then I just apply it all over my face (obviously avoiding getting it in my eyes). Then I put my tinted moisturiser on it after using this product my tinted moisturiser goes on super smoothly and evenly - with no patches or dry areas which is great!

*Price and availability*

This product range is only available in superdrug and when I bought this product a few weeks ago the whole natural high range was half price (this product was £2.24) but now the price has gone up to £4.49. I like this product so when it is on offer again I will probably buy it again, as this pot will probably last me ages as you do get a lot of product and you don't need to apply a lot of it as it spreads out evenly and is super moisturising.

Conclusions
Good points

*Fantastic price when on offer - still a good full price
*You get a lot of product
*Contains quite a few natural ingredients
*Incredibly moisturising
*Great as a day cream for my super dry skin
*Does not irritate my skin (only very very slight tingly sensation for less than one minute)
*Smells nice
*suitable for vegetarians and vegans to use
*Whole range of products (about 6/7 products)
*Softens, smoothes, hydrates, nourishes and helps prevent premature aging woo!

Bad points
*Screw top tub container - not as hygienic as a tube or pump dispenser

Thank you for reading my review

Summary: A great product - recommended! :)
