Prepares skin for your night cream, enhancing the benefits. Provides essential nutrients, leaving skin refreshed and replenished. Restores moisture loss due to excessive exposure from environmental factors."

--Packaging--
Sleek black, silver and white goodness. Looks very modern and edgy, particularly when compared to most anti-ageing products. Screw-top glass pot that would look nice in anybody's bathroom.

--Application--
"Warm small dab between fingers and apply to cleansed and toned skin before your night cream."

--Appearance--
Thick, white, luxurious-looking cream. No visible residue on the skin though.

--Scent--
None.

--Texture/consistency--
Not runny, lumpy, or sticky. Perfect :)

--How does your skin feel afterwards?--
Uber-smooth and soft, from the moment you put it on at night to the moment you wake up in the morning.

--Effects on the skin over time--
Sadly, I think this may have caused a breakout in me, so the claim that this is for all skin types doesn't really wash (oily skin types - stay away!). Beyond that, I didn't really see any other effects, though I suspect you may have to use it for months or years, rather than weeks, for that.

--Value for money--
It contains a lot of natural ingredients, and it definitely makes your skin feel softer. However, I bet you can find plenty of normal moisturisers that do that, and I didn't notice much difference when using this compared to the effects of just using my normal moisturiser.
According to the current exchange rate, this is about £42, which is probably about the average price of an anti-ageing product, to be honest (there are plenty of lower-priced products, but plenty of higher-priced ones too!). My 2ml sample lasted me about a week and a half, so by that calculation, the 50ml pot should last you 250 days. That's about 16p a day. Worth it? You decide.
