This item in my January Allure Beauty Box is the kind of product that makes me so glad I subscribe. I get so many premium-size samples like this that I barely have to go out and buy any full-size products anymore. They also allow me to really get a feel for a product before I spend money on a full-size container.
This night cream has a thick, luxurious texture that feels great going on at the end of a long day after cleansing. It's especially welcome on my dry, taut, winter skin.
After applying, I got a little nervous, as it felt like there was definitely a coating on top of my skin (which is why you wouldn't want to use it for day). But I kept it on overnight and woke up to find it fully absorbed and my skin feeling much fresher and plumper in the morning than it has in quite a while.
My skin can get a little sensitive, especially in winter, but I didn't notice any reddening, stinging or breakouts, and the hydration felt like it held on throughout the following day after using it the night before.
Grade: A- (you'll want to use it an hour or so before bed to protect your pillow)
Here's what the Allure editors had to say about it:
What it is: A rich face bream
What it does: Intensely moisturizes without making skin feel smothered.
How it looks/feels/smells: This cream has the consistency of a lotion and a faint scent of fresh apricots.
Key ingredients: Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E, panthenol, and aloe (moisturize); vitamin C (antioxidant)
Why we like it: Not all heroes wear capes. (Though frankly, we'd kind of love it if this jar of cream had a tiny costume.) This all-star formula is filled with supermoisturizers that sink right into parched skin and provide excellent plumping. One acre-prone tester was also pleasantly surprised to find that her skin looked less red and irritated after just a few days of use, and - big sight of relief - she had no new breakouts afterward.
Price: $29.50 for 2 ounces
