its ok but a bit pricy
JTa year ago
good for combo skin and is hydrating enough, however, could find a better moisturiser for a cheaper price point
Luxe!
Miss T2 years ago
I got two samples of this =- and its superb! really gorgeous.. i am thinking its going to be worth the splurge. I always love this brand but this is something else... put it on and really SEE the difference. I am 53 and have that weird combination of oily dehyrdated skin - this is perfect - make up goes on perfectly over it.. love it. I am going to purchase
Perfect
James3 years ago
This cream is truly decadent. A gorgeous thick yellow cream which glides along the skin and quickly absorbs, leaving the skin nourished and supple.
Pricey
Lc4 years ago
Got this as a sample - wasn't disappointed but not amazing enough for the price point, strong smelling and thick to apply so very hydrating - not great for oily skin I'd say
great
Olivia4 years ago
smells really good, very hydrating but not too heavy
Beautiful moisturiser - very hydrating for my skin
Laura4 years ago
Really like this moisturiser. I found it really hydrating and gentle on my sensitive skin. It had a nice scent which is also important to me. I prefer a moisturiser with SPF but this would be great for night/evening skin routine.
Rich buttery moisturiser
Kylie4 years ago
I received a free sample of this recently, and it smells divine like most other Aesop products. It has a relaxing aromatherapeutic scent and a buttery texture that feels quite decadent on the skin. It kept my skin feeling hydrated all day, but it wasn't absorbed thoroughly as I discovered a yellowish tinge on my cotton cleansing pads at the end of the day. Due to its thick texture I think this ...

not too bad

I would say after trying so many moisture on the market, this is average product, but still love Aesop the brand !
Sensory and more than moisturising
c4 years ago
I have been confused by so many reviews and had to try a sample before purchasing. I fell in love with it, I have combination skin and it's very thick moisturising but matte. The scent is incredible I love frankincense and maybe it's not for everyone. I personally love all the woody smokey scents in Aesop products. It's a big selling point. My concerns are for nourishing and brightening so the...

Beautiful cream

Got this as a sample, she's expensive but really nice. Really hydrating for my dry skin, I would buy this.
Beautiful product but not hydrating enough on its own
Rudy4 years ago
I received a sample. I thought it was a beautiful product... Smells amazing, applies well, and does feel hydrating but I feel like it was not hydrating enough on its own (perhaps just in the winter) so had to apply another moisturiser over the top. Im 39 and my skin has started to become a little more dehydrated. I didn't realise it is so expensive so probably wouldn't purchase the full size produ...

Is one of my favorites
Mag4 years ago
I'm 46 years old and I like vitamin C product for my day routine. so I was delighted to be able to test this sample from Aesop. This vitamin c cream is very pleasant with a clean and interesting composition. The consistency of this yellow cream is quite thick and finally it melts like butter on contact with your skin. It doesn't pill when you add a BB/CC cream and it's delicate formulation includ...

Nice experience
Mali4 years ago
I received a sample of this cream, it is a thick yellow cream with herbal smell, I actually enjoyed using it and it was very moisturizing for my dry skin. But I can not comment on the long time effect on it, I might purchase it later, wish they had smaller sizes before committing to 60ml.
Not a fan unfortunately but love the company
Elise4 years ago
I do love the company and its products generally, however I don't love this cream and can't justify the price. I found the fragrance to be odd and didn't enjoy putting it on my face. It seemed "heavy" in texture even though it says its not. The positive was that it absorbed well. It's just not for me but I'll keep using their other items.
The best night time moisturiser-EVER
Bella-Jean4 years ago
I had a sample of this with a previous purchase and I can't believe it took me almost three weeks to try it. The scent is amazing and the way my skin felt after I popped this on was incredible. I woke up to smooth, hydrated and plump skin. BTW, I am 40 years old and I have very dry skin, so finding this was very lucky for me. I have just bought the full size. Worth every penny!
A Man's Perspective
M4 years ago
I read a bunch of reviews before buying this, also consulted some females in my life regarding what other females might be talking about when reviewing these products. I found a lot of conflicting views in my research, but needed (in my ignorance) to understand the plight of people who wear makeup over their moisturisers, etc. So that said; I decided I would give this a crack because I've just hi...

A cream that works for me
Ann4 years ago
Adore Beauty is getting pretty spot on with the samples they're giving me. I managed to portion this one so I could use it over two nights. Decided to try it as a night cream as I already like my day cream. Turns out it was a good idea. Its very thick and rich so probably needs time to sink in.. Woke up the next morning with plump and soft skin (normally its dry). Personally like the scent; that h...

Oh My Goodness!!!
Aroma Adict4 years ago
I just LOVE this cream! I adore essential oils and this cream smells amazing!!! It is lovely and rich. Feels beautiful. Definitely my favourite!
Not as hydrating
GB4 years ago
I bought this product for the Vitamin C and E in it. It is a matte texture when applied and doesn't feel hydrating on the skin like other moisturisers do. I think that it's a good restorative night cream but I don't think I'll purchase it again. The frankincense smells great though.
Smells like heaven
MummaBear4 years ago
I received this as a sample, and I really enjoyed the time we spent together! The smell was so heavenly, to go off to sleep smelling like this cream was a real treat. It was extremely nourishing and hydrating, and I woke up with surprisingly lovely looking skin for only a few uses. Not sure if after prolonged use I would suffer from breakouts, but like another reviewer mentioned- in winter it wo...

Intense hydration - even for combination skin!
Grace4 years ago
I have classic combination skin and ultra-intense formulas usually make me break out. Not this one! I never spend this much on moisturiser, but I'm absolutely in love with this formula from Aesop. An amazing addition to my nighttime skincare routine. Can't recommend this enough!
very rich
Katherine4 years ago
I like the texture of this cream but it's very very rich so I only use it in winter
incredibly moisturizing
Vivienne4 years ago
rich textured cream that is incredibly moisturizing - a dry skin saviour!
Amazing product!!!
Rachelle4 years ago
Omg amazing!!! The smell is Devine, and everyone says I look years younger and my skin is looking wonderful. I can even seem to smooth out little wrinkles with it! Wonder stuff!
very moisturizing
Lily4 years ago
This is very moisturizing and hydrating which is great for winter time and dry skin types. It's definitely on the pricey side, but it does work well though not sure if I'd repurchase
