Review Detail

I have tried many creams in the No7 ranges and on the whole they are great, effective moisturisers. When this new range hit the shelves I was very keen to try them as they have 3 choices for more targeted skin problems. The glass jar is very attractive although there is a lot of glass compared to product. For the sake of the environment and ease of travel I would prefer a tube packaging. When I first opened the jar there are no visible differences in comparison to other No7 creams. The scent has not altered and not bad, but still has a subtle almost 'plastic' scent about it. The cream itself is a light texture but feels rich and it absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. My skin felt instantly softened and hydrated. The zinc content certainly balances my oily areas but after a while I found that it was too mattifying. After 4 week's use, my skin was certainly balanced and healthy but on the whole I was expecting more from this range. The SPF15 and UVA content is great, a real bonus. The pot lasts a very long time and is excellent value for money but I would not say to rush out and buy this as it does not differ much in results to the other ranges
