I like this a LOT, but too pricey for me to buy again for a 30 ml pot
I have to say I really like this ... a LOT. Its vegan and comes with a good set of natural ingredients (and I make a lot of my own body butters and creams with all natural products so I know a fair bit about the ingredients used) which includes vitamin E, frankincense, apricot and avocado oil etc so its very appealing to me. Its has a nice smell which is not overwhelming and it really is LOVELY to apply and leaves my face feeling moisturised without feeling greasy. I've tried so many moisturisers lately that leave my face feeling dry afterwards and I have to reapply.I had a look at their other products and their retinol facial moisturiser look lovely as well, although the ingredients to that seem just as suited to a night cream as well.The packaging is a bit bland but that doesn't bother me as long as the product is nice ... which it is.The only real problem for me is the price. Its a small 30ml container for about £35 which is far too expensive for me to buy again (even though its vegan and natural). I currently pay £27 for a 50ml pot, or I make my own. If it was under £30 for a 50ml and on a subscribe and save I'd definitely buy again as it really suits my skin and would also consider other products in the range.I hope you found this helpful. Please let me know if you did. 😊

Rich Night Cream
First of all I think the packaging was quite poor for a premium product. There was no box or instruction sheet, the bottle was cheap looking and the label was stuck on at an angle. Not major problems in the grand scheme of things but it certainly didn’t correlate with the price point.That being said, the cream itself did well to rectify my poor first impression. What I want from a night cream is something richer than a day cream where you feel that it is really working hard overnight and this cream ticks that box. The consistency is creamy and rich and the formula contains hyaluronic acid, essential oils, vitamins and antioxidants, all good things in my book. The aroma is supposed to be frankincense but I must admit I didn’t get that, but it does smell quite fresh and it did feel very nice on my skin.Overall, a very pleasant night cream and, although the packaging did let it down, the cream itself was really nice and my skin certainly felt hydrated and soft after using it,

Moisturise your skin well but I am not sure if its as natural as it claims to be
I have been searching for chemical free skin care. It is just so hard to find and there are always some chemicals in there. So I was very excited to try this night cream as it is supposed to be natural, organic , vegan friendly and paraben and sulphate free! Plus its made in UK which is good to buy local.I did a quick research on the Internet on the ingredients which I can't tell what they are from the name and had found the below:Prunus armeniaca – Natural ingredient from plum that tightens and minimises the look of rough bumps and sagging pores.Cetearyl Alcohol – A fatty alcohol that doesn't dry or irritate like other alcohol. At the time of review I have checked that FDA permits it to be labelled alcohol free.Polysorbate 60 – Is a synthetic ingredient. Although a low hazard ingredient there are some know concerns( only at high doses). I am not sure if purification steps has been taken to remove potential presense of 1,4-dioxane during the ethoxylation process. So I am not too sure how natural this particular ingredient is.Preservatives:Phenoxyethanol generally safe and non toxic if low doses. Ethylhexylglycerin- Generally considered safe though could be an allergenStearic acid – Fatty acid which could be found in cocoa butter and other vegetable fats. Allantoin- used as a moisturiser to treat / prevent dry, skin which can be found in plants.Overall, this is a great moisturiser as it doesn't feel greasy and your skin is left feeling moisturised. All ingredients appears to be natural and safe. Though I am not sure about the preservatives and especially the Polysorbate 60(Although it can be derived from plants but from what I read its not as natural as it claims to be)I would have given this 5 star (if 100% of ingredients were natural) and it would have been perfect for me if it didn't have preservatives or Polysorbate 60 in. Although these are ALL considered to be safe in cosmetics I personally would like to use something completely natural.Let me know if you had found this review helpful.

Not the cheapest but....
This is sooo silky smooth and just sinks into your skin, incredibly good moisturising properties as you’d expect, reading the long list of oils it contains, all renowned for their hydration properties. Including the now famous hyaluronic acid, which is such a miracle worker. Yes, there are a few chemical elements but primarily for longevity and preservation, plus the full list is on this page so it’s easy to check if you know your skin reacts to any of them.I’ve been using this overnight and particularly on my neck (I’m old, so I’ve got the dreaded crepey look) and it’s astonishing how effective it’s been at locking in the moisture.As my fellow reviewers have noted, the packaging is basic, as is the little tube and pump dispenser, which is a bit odd for a high grade product, but hey, you just bung the box in recycling anyway so who needs fancy schmancy packaging?For £30 it’s not cheap but it is good, and I’ll be looking out for more of this brand.
