First, let me tell you how much I like the previous products I`ve tried from Adovia. I adore their conditioner and shampoo (even though I never did get my promised free bottle of conditioner :-)
Now, about this anti-wrinkle moisturizer: our weather up here in Alaska is getting dryer and colder as winter creeps up. My skin is not happy with that. Also, I have to point out that I have been trying some facial products with Vitamin C in them, so that could account for some of the effectiveness of this Anti-wrinkle Facial Moisturizing Cream.
love the Dead Sea minerals |
The ingredients: Demineralized water & dead sea water, stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol. butylene glycol, propylene glycol & charmomile (anthemis nobilis) extract & algae extract & papaya (carica papaya) extract & aloe vera arbadensis gel, sweet almond (prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, caprilyc/caproc triglyceride, glycerin, dimethicone, carbomer, benzoic acid, chlorphenesin, dehydroacetic acid, benzalkoinium chloride, urea, vetiver, myrrh (commiphora myrrha) extract, rose absolute, lactic acid, dead sea salt, retinyl palmate.
This does moisturize a bit, but it worked better on my neck and (man, how I hate using this word) "jowl" area. ('Jowl'. Ewww, right? Who wants to admit to having 'jowls'? Sounds like I have a face like a hunting dog. There's gotta be a better word than 'jowls', but I'm just too lazy to go look it up.
Anyway ...
So the cream was fine on certain parts of my face but didn't moisturize my forehead and inner facial area as well. I had to reapply it a couple of time throughout the day - which was a pain because it meant having to touch up my makeup also. To compensate for the moisture problem curing the day, I made sure to do a liberal application just before bedtime .
What I do like so much about this cream is what I like about Adovia products in general: it has a nice faint smell, good ingredients and is mild on sensitive skin. Also, the company has good customer service (money back guarantee ) and good practices (no animal testing). You can check out Adovia products either here on Amazon or on Cleopatra's Choice. Be sure to look into the incentives they offer, such as free shipping on certain orders, samples and referral rewards.
Finally, another note about what may have affected my results with this cream: my skin is in flux. I have a product that I have used for years because it works really well for me. Every now and then, I have to take a break from that product and use something else for a while. Well, right now, my skin is craving that product - probably because of the weather. In another month or so, I will probably be able to use this Adovia cream with better results .
I'd recommend this cream for someone with sensitive to normal skin and living in a climate not as dry as mine is.
Peace
