Review (4/5): Seems To Work, But I Think Mine Might Be Going Rancid
I am all about natural skin care. When I read about this product and the lovely smell it had, I was very excited to try it. Let's take a look.
WHAT IS THIS LIKE?
This cream is yellow in color- very pale yellow. It is creamy but not heavy. There is a very faint lemon smell, but there is also a smell which is not good- almost like the oils in the cream are about to turn completely rancid. They are not quite there yet, but I have used enough products over time where I recognize that smell.
That is not necessarily the fault of the cream. This could have been kept in a hot warehouse too long, or who knows what. The manufacture date on my box is April 2019. That is over a year old already.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Since it is not unbearable at this point, I wanted to at least test the product for a few days. There was no burning or stinging, so it is still okay to use for now. The product is quite nice. It does soak in quickly and it does not leave the face greasy at all.
WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON SKIN?
The next morning after using this, I will say that the skin is left looking like it has a slight glow to it. It does leave the skin looking much nicer than other creams I have used. It is warmer weather right now and this cream is still not leaving the face greasy or heavy at all. My skin is definitely left looking nice the next morning.
ANY SENSITIVITY?
I have not had any sensitivity to the sun or anything else yet. Like I said, I can not use this long as it is ready to turn bad soon so I only have a short time. For now, it is really nice.
THE BOTTOM LINE
I really wish that this cream was fresher than it is. The product manufacture date on it is April of 2019. I am really disappointed that I could not test it at its best because it has great potential to be a really nice cream.
MY RATING
FOUR STARS- I can not give this five stars in its current state. It is potentially really nice cream though. If you get a fresh one, I imagine it is really nice. Just make sure to use it up and if you live in a hot climate, keep it in the refrigerator or air conditioning.
