1) Kiehl's powerful wrinkle reducing cream, broad spectrum SPF 30 with copper pca and abyssine
I have quite sun sensitive skin and won't leave the house without at least SPF 15 on my face- especially now I live in Dubai. Finding day creams with SPF is becoming much easier now and I was excited to use this Kiehl's moisturiser as I've never really tried this brand before and this product had some great reviews.
The blurb says that it is a 'visibly reparative anti-wrinkle cream' and that it helps 'defend against the formation' of new wrinkles. Copper is essential for the skin's healthy appearance and abyssine is a 'survival molecule which thrives under extreme conditions'. So now we know!
It is a thick, bright white cream that is easy to rub in and feels quite luxuriously heavy. Not sure if it visibly repaired or reduced any of my wrinkles but I certainly didn't notice any more developing in the few months I was using it!
It definitely stopped the sun getting through but unfortunately I think this stuff contributed to my spots. As soon as I stopped using it my skin cleared up. Hmmm. I do find that many face sunscreens give me blemishes so I think this had the same ingredient in it :-(
Would I buy again? No
2) Vichy Aqualia Thermal rich 48 hour hydration for sensitive skin
I love using a hydrating cream at night as my skin always look healthy in the morning. I saw a review on this so thought I'd give a go...
It contains Vichy thermal water, hyaluronic acid and lipidure, which is 'proven for lasting moisture', according to Vichy. These key ingredients are 'Micro-encapsulated and delivered in a "sprinkler-like" system for 48Hr hydration' - wow! I certainly didn't notice any sprinkling, but then I guess I was asleep ;-)
First off, although it is for sensitive skin it always stung a little immediately after I applied, especially around the eyes, which was disappointing.
On the plus side it has a lovely texture cream, melts in to the skin with a light perfect scent. It definitely hydrated my skin as the dry patches on my chin were non existent whilst I was using this!
Would I buy again? Possibly, I won't rush out to repurchase but might use again in the future.
Have any of you tried either of these? What do you think?
