I love the consistency of the cream. It makes my skin feel delicately soft.

I would have liked it in a different container, though. I find creams in tubes much more hygienic. Also, when in a tube, the exposure to light and air is so much less. Especially vit A (retinol) as an ingredient. It should not be exposed to light, as it is light sensitive active ingredient and can become less effective with regular exposure to light.

After hitting 40 I figured it was time for me to start incorporating some anti-aging products as part of my skincare routine… Everything I’d read was singing the praises of retinol products, while also warning you about possible side effects!! I have very sensitive skin so I was nervous about trying it, but as it reputedly helps with acne too I decided to take the plunge - safe in the knowledge that if it all went wrong, FaceTheory’s first class customer service team would sort it out! I needn’t have worried… This cream gives me no negative side effects at all. It hydrates but doesn’t clog, and doesn’t trigger my acne or my eczema. I use it as a night night cream, pairing it with the PoreBright serum morning and night. I also use the Vit C Whip SPF30 by day. This combination of products has done wonders for my skin. Way less spots, no more peeling, and gives good hydration. It also contains ceramides which are a great ingredient for the skin! If you’re wanting to try a retinol product, but are nervous about the possible side effects, give this product a go - effective but gentle. The only thing is I wish it came in a scented version, as I’m not in love with the smell (not that it’s bad or strong, it’s just not especially fragrant is all) but I’m sure there’s probably a reason it doesn’t. And with the ingredients listed in this product, I feel like another brand would charge way more…
