Advantages: Reasonable price

Disadvantages: Heavy, non-absorbant

I bought this night cream as my skin was getting slightly dry around the eyes and it was a reasonable price (approximately £9-£10 depending on the store). The product claims to regenerate and replenish skin over a period of three to four weeks and that wrinkles will be less visible.

Unfortunately I did not get as far as finding if this was true. I used the product for two weeks and found that it gave me small spots (not an allergic rash) on my face. The product is far too heavy and greasy in texture. I have combination skin, slightly dry in some places, normal in others so in theory it should have been good for me, but it wasn't.

I found the product did not really absorb into my skin at all, rather it just acted as a layer of grease on my face that caused my pores to clog and form spots. I was not impressed. I can't confirm if it really works as a wrinkle cream as I couldn't use it for long enough.

Summary: A cream that is too rich for some skins
