Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing a review on some new skin care products I have been using for over a month now. Maybe even two months, now that I think of it. Before I start the review I want to give you a little back story on what prompted my changes in skincare products. I am 32, and as I have aged, my skin has changed. I would like to think that I have accepted these changes gracefully (haha) but I still want to keep my skin looking healthy as time goes on. I have combination skin which means I only get oily in my T-zone. However, in the cooler months my skin tends to get dry in other areas of my face. I started noticing that my skin started to have areas that were very textured and rough looking. I didn't like the way it was making my makeup look and I wanted to do something about it.
I love CeraVe products. I have tried numerous products from their line and I am pleased with all of them. As I said above, I have been using these products regularly for the past month or two and I have noticed a huge difference in my skin!
So now, after I have given you an entire post in and of itself with my back story (are your eyes tired?) I will get to the review!
These are the lovely products I am talking about...
I only apply these at night after I wash my face. First, I apply this Cream Serum, which is a very interesting product. Because it is a "cream serum" it is not and oily consistency, it's more like a lightweight, day time moisturizer. It is a lime green/yellow color and doesn't have much of a scent to it. I apply small dots around my face and neck and gently rub in.
One thing I really appreciate about this packaging is the way the product comes out. It has this neat little nozzle that you press to release the product. I like knowing that I will be able to get all of the product out of this as time goes on.
I apply the Night Cream over top of the serum. This locks in the serum and really hydrates my skin. However, it doesn't make my skin so hydrated that it gets oily the next day. I love that in the morning, when I wash my face, I can feel the barrier this product has created on my skin.
This cream is very thick. It doesn't take much of it either. I apply this in dots around my face and neck and run in. One thing that irritated me was that the jar was about half full of product when I received it. I can't stand when companies give you bigger packaging to make it look like you're getting more product! In fact, I almost thought of returning it until I read reviews about it online and decided to give it a try.
As if you didn't know already, I am impressed by these products and what they have done to my skin. I can't say that I am going to repurchase (only because I have been eyeing some products from Philosophy and The Body Shop). I will continue to keep you updated on my skincare roller coaster and the products I have been using, if you're interested. If you have any products to recommend, please do!
Until next time...
Xoxo,
Adela
