My skin has gotten drier in my mid-30s and I had to switch products altogether. I discovered the Boots Botanics Night Cream with grapeseed oil earlier this year and loved how it hydrated in the summertime. Being from Chicago, though, my skin gets pretty beat up in the winter.I'm usually loyal to Neutrogena but no one product was cutting it. I've also started to shift away from using petroleum-based products (like Cetaphil cream); they feel like they sit on my skin without really moisturizing, and I'd prefer something more natural. I love that the first three ingredients of this stuff are water, olive oil, and sweet almond oil. This cream will not sit on your skin like Vaseline it will absorb right in.
How I use this product after washing and toning: in the morning, I use Origins A Perfect World White Tea Skin Guardian, then apply this, then a Neutrogena sunscreen. In the evening, I use RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream (I love retinol products as I get older, though I don't yet have wrinkles), then apply this.
I don't think I could get enough moisture using only one product, but this comes pretty close. It's a really great value for what it does.
This night cream works so well, and it's got a great fragrance, sort of like a light floral & cucumber. It's a very light smell, not cloying at all.
I really feel like it's being absorbed into my skin, and it doesn't shine. I was using the Borghese night cream from Costco, and goodness--my face was as shiny as chrome! Embarassing! It was so terribly shiny I downgraded it and used it for hand cream.
Boots Botanics Nourishing Night Cream:
*smells fresh and light
*doesn't shine
*absorbs well
*Well-priced
*Generous size: 1.69 ounces
I seriously have no complaints. They should hire me as a spokesperson.
