I have been using this in conjunction with the same brands Avene Hualuron Activ B3 Renewal Firming Cream. I have sensitive skin so I approached both with caution and increased exposure but so far so good. My skin has a tendency to peel, ‘burn’ or breakout when it comes in contact with certain product. It contains Niacinamide 6% and Hyaluronic Acid which are go-to ingredients for bright, firm skin and anti-aging. The packaging suggests its benefits on wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness and elasticity, and dull skin. My complexion does look brighter and feels lovely after using so I’ll be interested to see if it stays or if I get even further improvements. The packaging also states that 94% of the ingredients are of natural origin and it is vegan and free from animal origin ingredients. The packaging is luxe with the gold foil on the box. It uses a dropper to squeeze up the product to use which feels quite strong in comparison to other products droppers such as The Ordinary, I feel it will last the whole products life span without cracking. I’ve had that happen before with a products dropper and it’s frustrating to have to resort to pouring the remainder of the product on your palm until it’s finished. It doesn’t have an offensive smell at all, which I can be a bit sensitive to. However I am using it with the firming cream which does contain a perfume scent, so combined at least it doesn’t have two competing scents. It sits well on the skin and settles in nicely when the cream is used with it, leaving a bright clean slate. I need to use further to make sure of any significant changes to skin but I’ll definitely be using the rest of the bottle.

The feel of this cream is lovely, it glides on and doesn’t feel like a thick oily layer that some other creams I have tried do. It contains Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid which are great anti-aging ingredients to have in a cream which help to brighten, moisturise and plump up the skin. Big positive tick is that it’s Vegan and free from animal origin ingredients. My skin is sensitive, so I did approach with care because it does have a perfume that I know has sometimes irritated my skin in the past. My skin will tend to peel, ‘burn’ or breakout, especially in my T-zone when a product irritates it. I have sometimes had puffy eyes on occasion from other creams, especially rich night creams. Just listed as Fragrance (Parfum) in the ingredient, when you first open the pack, the perfume smell is quite evident. It also contains Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) seed oil which can make my skin break out on occasion. Shea butter is also an ingredient which may account for how well it feels going on to the skin. I started with a patch test and worked my way up with exposure. So far, so good. I’ll give the cream a while longer to try as I really like how it feels on the skin. I’ve never been a huge fan on smelling a strong perfume scent on my face products, however, it is pleasant enough, so as long as it continues to not irritate my skin, I’ll keep using it. In saying that, if you have any issue with products with perfume scents, maybe skip this one. The packaging feels very luxe, with thick glass and gold foiling on the cardboard box. It also contains a pod inside the glass jar which looks as though you could refill with just a new pod, which would be great for being able to reuse the glass part and save on the expense on excess packaging. Unsure if that is an option though? Clear instructions to use alone or after a serum (which I have been using with the same brand Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 concentrated plumping serum) and states that it’s a very good makeup base. I still tend to apply a primer before makeup, but that is probably just out of habit, so I might investigate how this goes as a base on its own. The way it sits on your skin, I do think it will probably work very well as a makeup base. The claim on the pack is the “After 15 days, the skin is firmer” and it “forms, reduces the appearance of fine line and wrinkles”. My complexion does feel bright and firm, however, I will need to use a while longer to feel confident in any significant changes. I would recommend to try even for those with sensitive skin, but I would steer clear if sensitive to perfume scented products.

I first smelt this from a person in store handing out samples and I walked away that day still smelling the scent and eventually had to go out and buy it for myself. I love it, it settles into your skin and leaves a beautiful smell all day. I am a lover of vanilla type scents normally and this caters that rich, powerful but not too strong scent. I can't stand perfumes that are too strong, as I can get a headache from them. This is still there all day but subtle enough not to case headaches.

Great two in one product.
I prefer a fuller coverage of makeup when I go out into the world so for me I will be most definitely be wearing it to the beach when you don't want a full face of makeup but a bit of coverage while also getting the SPF 30+ protection from the sun.
The packaging is very modern and explains the product well. Nice and easy to understand. The smell isn't offensive in any way, it has quite a light scent without making you smell like you've layered on a thick layer of other sunscreens.

I also received a sample of this mascara in gift with purchase but have used it once and wasn't a massive fan. It seemed to blob to much and it took a long time to try and put it on my eyelashes without having clumps. If it came to the choice whether to spend the money in buying it I probably wouldn't.

My mum let me use some of this when I'd run out of some of my moisturizer. I'm not at the stage in my life that I need to stop wrinkles as of yet so not sure if it work for that but it certainly smells awesome. Quite smooth on the skin also.

Creates a nice pearly sheen to your face which is perfect for going out. For everyday it's not as good but great for nights for a bit of glamour.

I have the Cherry flavour and it's a great accessory to my beach bag. Gives me a little protection from the sun while also smelling great and giving me a slight gloss (very slight though).

Not bad smelling but really should only be bought for the younger generations. It's almost one of the first fragrances you get.

If you love a fresh clean smell then this is great. Don't be put off by the name it doesn't smell like laundry but it does smell like the feeling of slipping into clean fresh sheets after a shower.
