I finally bought a new night cream! After running out of my wonderful Yes To Carrots night cream, I was too poor/lazy to buy a new one so I was using my Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying moisturiser, which was all fine and dandy but it was winter and my face now has sad dry patches from not being moisturised. But onto the positives - I now own the love this little wonder which I shall be reviewing today.
I've never used an Aveeno products before. I always assumed it was just an upmarket supermarket brand so I never really paid any attention, despite it being endorsed by numerous celebrities and bloggers alike. It wasn't until I saw this that I decided to try it out. What sold me was that it claims to fade dark spots, pigmentation and all those horrible things that life throws on our faces alongside being an intensive moisturiser.
I am so impressed with this, so so impressed. Firstly, the smell - it's so fresh and delicious. After my nighttime shower, I slather this all over my face and I instantly feel refreshed and awake again. I an feel it hydrating my face via the scent it has. I find the texture to be a little odd, it's like a cream but a gel? I find it difficult to scoop out (it doesn't come with a scoop, shame on you Aveeno) because I have to use my fingers. This is perhaps my only gripe because as soon as it touches my face, I forget.
This product does what it says too. I never get pimples on my cheeks but literally about 2 months ago, I got one on each cheek which left the worst red marks ever, even though I left them well alone. I have smothering the pesky marks with blemish fade creams but after using this for a week, I've noticed a considerable difference. The red marks are both smaller and fading much faster. I really should read the ingredients to see what it is that's working because it's working well.
I do have a few minor issues with it. The box it comes in is overly large considering the size of the pot itself (I do not like faux false advertising when it comes to beauty products) and the odd consistency and lack of scoop-like thing is a little frustrating but the product itself works so well that it barely matters. I love how moisturising it is, all my little dry patches are disappearing, I love the smells, how well it works - I am just generally impressed and now I'm super keen to try more products.
I got this at Farmers for $24.99NZD, which is pretty good for a night cream. With products like this, I would normally prefer to buy higher end products but this is such a good deal and it delivers, so I'm super pleased that my budget didn't really restrict me this time around.
