What the package says:

“Firms, protects, smoothes, gives 12 hour moisturisation. Our unique regenerating complex plus vitamin E and rosehip seed oil give 12 hour moisturisation and promote skin regeneration and defence (sic). Skin feels soft, supple, firmer, appears more radiant, fresh, full of vitality. Regular use will reduce the appearance of fine lines.”

What the Diva says:

This luxurious whipped cream feels fabulous on the skin, depositing a layer of light moisturizer along with a hint of shimmer. The taupe-colored cream looks good on both light and dark skin tones. It pretty much does what it says, keeping skin looking fresh until the end of the day.

At the end of seven days there weren’t any significant changes in the wrinkles in my face but the dew-fresh look it afforded me was quite welcome. I was able to go without foundation or powder the entire week.

Pros:

1. Economically priced at $30.00 for 1.7oz.
2. Not just for “mature” women, it’s a good facial moisturizer for anyone with sun-damaged or dry skin.
3. Part of the entire Wise Woman skin care regimen that includes cleanser, toner, night cream, eye cream, vitality serum, and firming mask.

Cons:

1. Cocoa Butter and vitamin E give it a very slight oily feel but don’t let this deter you. It definitely holds moisture in the skin and evens the skin tone when applied.
2. The oil prevents it from serving dual purpose as a hand cream.
