Moisturizers are the basic skin care essentials , from freezing cold to melting temperatures we need them all year around , dont we ?? Today I am reviewing a mouturizer that I have been using since a year now .
So what basically is collagen and elastin , I read and searched about it and in simple words it can be described as the support structures of our skin , collagen is a protein which connects tissues and elastin helps our skin to stretch and return to its original position , And as we age they both start breaking down and so wrinkles appear, but getting these through creams and moisturizes is a big question, I have few very fine lines on my forehead and it failed to reduce them.
It smells unique, not floral nor fruity but a very pleasant one which really do uplift my mood when ever I apply it.
As its a huge jar there is always a fear that some dirt might get into it whenever I open it, so I just take the amount very fast and close the lid.
My skin type is dry but in summers the T-zone is bit oily, in winters I need thick dose of some heavy moisturizers I tried it in winters but it didn't quench my thirsty skin , so it is good for me from March till mid Novembers :)
It costed me around 450 to 500 rupees a very pocket friendly cream if compared to the quantity you get, contains
10 oz of product.

MY EXPERIENCE
Its my second jar, and I try to use this every night before going to bed , and when I wake up my skin is soft and incredibly matte, no traces of oil around the T-zone . But whenever I apply it during the daytime's it does not give me that fresh and neat feeling as if something is sticking to my skin, so I made it my night cream.
Its texture is thick and gel like ,which when applied to face feels a bit heavy , takes few seconds before it is completely absorbed into the skin .

TO CONCLUDE :
- Good for all skin types but for dry skin its good in summers only
- Makes skin super matte and soft
- Pocket friendly
- Huge quantity if compared to price
- A little sticky and heavy feeling.
- Does not reduce fine lines as it claims
- Due to its size you have to be extra careful from preventing dirt entering into it.
