I have been testing this cream for a couple of weeks now. The product is a 24-hour cream, so it works as both day and night cream.
The cream has an incredibly rich texture and a pleasant, light scent. I use my fingers to warm up the cream before applying it to my face and neck. Lancome recommends a special massage technique to smooth out lines, relieve tension, and tighten the skin. The rich texture makes it comfortable to massage the cream in, and the warmth from the palms helps it melt well into the skin. For me, who likes a rich texture, this cream is great; after serum and cream, I can feel the product on my skin for the rest of the day, and the skin feels hydrated and comfortable. If you prefer lighter textures, it might feel a bit much. The effect of the cream feels more like it provides plumping rather than actual tightening; you don’t get that slightly stiff feeling some tightening products give, and I also think it gives a lot of glow.
The jar is very large, not exactly travel-friendly, but I give it a plus for the fact that you can buy refills.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the product itself; I give a small minus because, since it is a 24-hour cream, it does not have SPF. I have used it with SPF on top during the day.
I am part of a test panel and have received a free test product.
