So my last post here was more of an introduction to my curent skin care 'state' and the products I purchased. I also touched on the packaging.
However, I actually didn't realise something when I purchased my products, but when I did on day one, I was ranting away to myself. This seems to happen a lot with products and if I am honest with 1000s of WOMEN co-creating this range I would expect better. I want answers.... or rationale at least....
My issue.
This....
Spotted it yet? No. Have a closer look. Do you see it now?
Yes, thats right. Two different sizes. 50ml and 75ml.
I thought the 1000s of women will have my back... Ladies did you know about this?
Now, I wouldn't mind if you were instructed to use less of the night cream, than the day cream, but that is not the case. So I know I will run out of night cream before day cream and.... anyway you get the point. I think they should be the same size. End of.
Back to the use of the products.
The gel cleanser was just what I expected. Gel to oil when applied, then washes off like milk. It took off most, if not all my makeup including eye make up. Some mascaras it takes another application to remove, but this is normally the case for most gel cleansers. I will probably buy the miscelar cleanser and use in conjuction with the gel cleanser to remove the eye makeup. Watch this space! Overall my skin feels nice and clean after using the cleanser, the oil keeps my skin from getting too dry due to the water. Happy with this product. Basically does what it says on the tin!
Talking cleansing, I also purchased the softening facial brush. First few days I used this and it worked well. It does say in the instructions about letting the brush dry, however, I found that getting the brush to dry fully was near impossible. I also found that towards the end of the 7 days the brush felt very hard against my skin. I assume this was because it was never really fully dry, but I just couldn't get it dry. Any else got this brush? Any tips? End of day 7 and I am now not using the brush, I might try it again once it's dry, but at the moment, it's not reliable to use everyday.
The day and night creams have been great. My skin has felt hydrated for most of the day. Towards the evening I have felt my skin slightly dry, but I have dry skin and I am hoping these products will help solve that. In the morning however, after a nights sleep, I wake up feeling my skin is still hydrated. Before using this range, I would wake up with dry patches around my face, mainly on my forehead and around my eyes and my jaw. 7 days in...yes only 7 days in and I have just a few on my forehead. INCREDIBLE.
The hero product in this skin care range is just that: my skin hero. After the first application on day 1, my skin straight away felt silkier. After seven days of use, my skin looked visibly brighter, and felt so soft. I am impressed and shocked I noticed changes so quickly. It absorbs smoothly into my skin.
As the most expensive product, I had high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed. Only two pumps are needed day and night for this product. I am happy about that as it is only 30ml. But this is enough. The product was light yet moisturising. So far, if I could only repeat buy one product, this would be it.
Perfume and sensitive skin?
I had childhood eczema, and every now and then I can get a flare up on my face, arms or legs. Normally just small patches. Due to this, I wouldn't say I have overly sensative skin like some people, but I can react to certain products. Skin wise, 7 days in and I am so far so good. No problems to report.
The scent of all the products are lovely. Luxurious and delicate. I have noticed with the day cream and the balancing skin concentrate that after application, my eyes can become very irritated. Now I can't solely put this down to the products, as I have been suffering with dry eye for a while, so this could be coincidental. I have noticed however, it is much better when I make sure I avoid my eye area and ensure fully washed hands. So I can't put two and two together yet, but I will keep an eye (😂) on this and update you in due course.
Day 8 tomorrow, and I am expecting things can only get better. I am impressed with the changes I have noticed so far, I didn't expect to have much to say in this first review.. so happy days!
If you have been using any of these products, do let me know how you are getting on!
