As a 28 year old, anti ageing products are definitely something
I am beginning to pay more and more attention to, though thankfully premature skin
ageing isn’t a massive issue for me just yet.
She says now!
That said, prevention is always better than a cure, so on my
hunt for a product that would suit a person of my age and with my concerns, I
headed to a trusted and much loved brand, L’Occitane.
After speaking to the lovely people at L’Occitane, based on
my concerns, it was recommended that I try their Immortelle Precious Cream, one
of the brands best selling products, so naturally, I had to try it out!
This rich, smooth face cream is ideal for normal to dry skin
types and is designed to visibly correct deep wrinkles and improve skins
firmness.
After reading lots of positive reviews I had been tempted to
try their other anti ageing range, Divine, however was advised that currently,
my skin wasn’t in need of such a potent, thick or strong product and that the Precious cream would be far better suited to my skin.
Both sets of creams contain the amazing anti ageing
properties of the same Immortelle flower found in Corsica.
Immortelle is known as the everlasting flower due to the
fact that it never fades, even after its been picked. Its organic essential oil
is rich in active molecules which have unique anti ageing properties
The Immortelle Precious cream offers smoother, firmer and
ultimately, younger looking skin thanks to the Immortelle stimulating collagen
production, boosting skin renewal and protecting it from free radicals.
The cream itself is fairly thick in texture, but thankfully
for my oily skin, is non greasy.
It has a really beautiful, delicate, floral scent
reminiscent of Provence on a summers day.
A little goes a long way, and I noticed that after using it
sparingly, twice a day for several weeks, that my skin was left feeling
amazingly fresh, soft and bright.
Now admittedly, I don’t (yet) have a huge amount of
wrinkles, but I do have crows feet and laughter lines, and I’d say that this
cream definitely helped to smooth over the fine lines, especially around my
eyes.
Indeed, 87% of women tested said skin was smoother , 78%
said skin appeared younger instantly and with continued use, 70% said wrinkles
became less pronounced.
I don’t actually have a bad thing to say about this product,
I found it lovely to use and it despite the relatively hefty price tag, I’ll definitely
be re-purchasing.
L’Occitane’s Immortelle Precious Cream is available from L’Occitane
and costs £43 for 50ml.
