Advantages: Decent price (when I got mine at 3 pounds), nice texture, cute packaging, hypo-allergenic
Disadvantages: Kind of greasy- can imagine it causing breaking outs on an oily skinned face
-Packaging-
Somehow I quite like the pearly colour, it looks kind of clean and smooth, just like the way I want my skin to be. This cost me 3 pounds because I had a boots no 7 voucher and I only got it because I was about to go on a plane and I wanted to use the voucher...
I think it's a great deal at 3 pounds!
-Does it work?-
I think this works great for the UK kind of dry, cold weather. It works for plane rides, too. I wouldn't bring this to a humid climate though, I can sooo imagining it becoming super greasy.
It doesn't have SPF which is okay cos it's a night cream and we don't want to clog those pores up at night.
-First Use-
I used this on my 13 hour flight. I was really sleepy so I just kind of slapped it on and fell asleep. 6 hours later I expected my skin to be dry but it was still fairly moisturized! It felt a little greasy (or maybe it was just paranoia) but when I checked my skin wasn't very shiny at all...
The texture of this cream is really smooth and it's white, which means maybe artifical colouring but at least does not look disgusting like some all-natural products.
It's meant for normal/dry skin so for an combination skinned gal like me I wouldn't advise putting it on your oiliest spot (my nose for me).
It's lovely to have a night cream on cos your skin feels so smooth and drenched when you're going to bed and you wake up the next morning and it's soft!
-Advantages-
Decent price (when I got mine at 3 pounds), nice texture, cute packaging, hypo-allergenic
-Disadvantages=
Slightly greasy
-Conclusion-
As much as it's a nice product I'm sure I'll find a less greasy one for less than 8 pounds. Not a lot of information is written at the back is on one hand minimalistic, but also really annoying cos i love reading labels on food, books, video games... everything!!!
Summary: reliable no7 skincare!
