I love to apply this rich cream to warm skin right after showering, and it leaves my skin silky smooth and comfortably moisturized. It also has a wonderful scent that is best described as clean and comforting. That it is housed in a large and luxurious faux Carrara marble jar makes the experience of using it all the more pleasant.
While I do find this formula to be very moisturizing I would prefer it not to have alcohol as the second ingredient on the list. It also includes various silicones as well as parabens- therefore those avoiding these ingredients will want to avoid this product altogether.
Overall assessment: This is a solid performer, and a lovely luxury body cream. The price point is high, and the formula contains silicones and parabens- so it will be an easy pass for many people. That said, I really love the way this cream feels and smells, and it really does keep my skin moisturized all day.

That cream looks so luxurious! I have a Chanel No 5 cream with the same texture. I hardly ever wear it, being the Queen of Delayed Gratification, and all that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the ingredients. My eyes glazed over before I was halfway through, but I was satisfied that I saw no mineral oil in it, which sucks all the moisture out of my skin.
I would be far more interested i using nice bath products if I had a bathroom I didn't hate. We have one BR in our Cape and it's in serious need of a serious gutting. I've put it off because, well, there's only the one bathroom. So I'd either have to arrange all the contractors myself and hoped they finished in a timely manner or pay a contractor to subcontract it out. The thought of using a port-a-potty and rigging up a shower in the basement for a few months is not my idea of a good time. :P
All that to say I rarely use foo foo stuff in the bath!
It really is. It feels lovely on the skin and has a very pleasant scent. Oh, as I recall Chanel No 5 body cream is luscious!!
DeleteI know, I'm not much of a fan of mineral oil or petrolatum in my face and body moisturizers.
I know just what you mean about a bad bathroom being a buzz kill for luxurious bath products. Our last house was also a Cape Cod Cottage (though in a California)- it was smaller than yours-- it was about 960 sq. ft. with a single Jack & Jill bathroom that was pretty awful. This house has 2 bathrooms both were hideous, but we have since remodeled one- but the other remains an eye sore remodel from the 80s. I basically run in to shower and run out, and applying nice product in there is joyless because the bathroom is so awful! It is definitely more difficult to negotiate a bathroom remodel when there isn't a second bathroom. The thought of having to use a port-a-potty doesn't sound too fun!
