Elizabeth Arden

I got to try the Elizabeth Arden Hyaluronic Acid + peptides water cream along with the serum. This is my first time trying Elizabeth Arden, and I must say I am very impressed. Someone who usually doesn't buy skincare in this price range makes this product have me considering doing it more often. The face cream smells lovely, and the packaging feels luxurious with a pump that makes it easy to get just the right amount, which will make the product last longer, which is a big plus. The cream also has a lovely consistency that easily melts into the skin. My face feels both smooth and hydrated. This is really a product I enjoy using, and I can feel a difference between this and my usual one. If I can find it at a reasonable price, I would probably buy it again. #lykoreview

Quite a thin-flowing moisturizer, doesn't provide a lot of moisture, but smells good and feels nice on the skin. The advantage is that it doesn't feel greasy either, and it absorbs quickly into the skin, it's easy to spread quickly over large areas, so I can use it every day and get dressed right after without having to wait for it to absorb into the skin, as I feel I have to with slightly greasier creams. I think the pump works fine, but it clogs a bit with product at the very tip that needs to be removed regularly, otherwise it spills a lot. Pretty okay moisturizer, but I don't think I'll buy a new one when this one is empty - I'll probably prioritize a thicker cream.

Lovely scent and consistency of the cream, it is also very economical to use as the jar is large (75 ml) and you don't need much at a time. It's a bit difficult to take just the right amount at once, simply put. I find that it gives a bit too much moisture to my skin in my skincare routine; I use it in the morning, and if I combine it with both milky toner and serum first, and then sunscreen afterwards, it becomes a bit too much moisture, and I have to wait a while for everything to absorb before I can put on makeup. I had another day cream before, which I felt absorbed better and faster into the skin. However, it feels lovely on the skin after I've applied it. This is probably gold for those with slightly drier skin than mine; I have combination skin and sensitive skin, with a tendency to some dryness in the cheeks and oilier skin in the T-zone. All in all, a very lovely cream, but not quite perfect for me and my skin right now 🌸
