Review (4/5): Very nourishing, contains royal jelly
I'm 30 years old and have been trying to do a lot of preventative skin care (especially since I live in Florida and get quite a bit of sun on my skin on a regular basis). One reason I was drawn to this particular neck firming cream was the royal jelly ingredient. I'm new to learning about the benefits of royal jelly, so for those who haven't hear of it before, royal jelly is a substance secreted by honeybee workers and fed by them to larvae that are being raised as possible queen bees. When used externally, royal jelly increases the skin's moisture and collagen production, which slows the process of getting wrinkles. There are tons of other beneficial oils in this cream, all of which can be found on the ingredients list on the product page.
This neck firming cream is very thick, but absorbs quickly into the skin, and does not leave an oily residue. After washing my face and neck area, I put a dime-sized amount of the cream in my palms and then applied it to my neck, distributing it evenly with circular motions. This cream has a very light and pleasant, almost gingery scent. The reason I am rating this 4 stars instead of 5 si the fact that I did get a few blemishes on my neck after using the cream. I am not sure if this was a result of an ingredient, or my skin just getting used to a new product. I have been suing this for 5 days now. My neck did feel very nourished and moisturized after using this, so I will continue to apply this cream unless more blemishes appear.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion. I will not rate items highly if they don't deserve the rating, and I write these lengthy reviews to help out fellow shoppers, since I always read reviews on products before buying.
