I love this night cream, it's thick and creamy but absorbs so well with no greasy feeling. It's very gentle and I can even use it as eye cream, and it has good results for firming facial skin and leaving it feeling soft. The pump dispenser's good as it lets you get just the right amount on your fingertips, and it has a subtle, fresh fragrance. I find I only need a small amount as it distributes evenly, one small pump rubbed between my fingers is enough for my whole face, so what you get will last a while. I noticed a reduction in the wrinkles by my eyes after a few days and in general my skin looks and feels fresh and healthy.

I always use a night cream and they can vary between clarty, thick, cold-cream style which sit on the skin and light creamy ones which seem to soak in. This one is the lighter variety and is very pleasant to use. The small tube is plastic with a pump-action top with a clear lid to stop it being accidentally pressed in a cosmetic/toiletry bag. Surprisingly, the cream is quite perfumed – a very nice floral with a hint of fruit and not a problem for me, but could be an irritant to some sensitive skinned users. Very little is needed and it seems to melt into the skin quite quickly. It instantly makes the top of cheek/eye area look hydrated and less wrinkled and feels nice and moisturising to go to bed without being greasy or oily on the pillow. The bottle contains 50ml of cream which, because this is used quite sparingly, will last a long time. I particularly like its compactness and the fact it is a tube bottle and not a jar, so that it will fit easily into my toilet bag for holidays and weekends away. This is much more expensive than I would usually pay for a night cream, but it does feel special.

I have never been a fan of skin creams other than for sun spf factor use .but now after the menopause I found the need for something to help my skin look better and for hydration although my skin is still in the realm of combination.This cream is in a pump and if you find it hard to prime at first then un twist the top ,pump and then do it up again after you see the cream in the dispensing nozzle. The cream itself looks very firm but melts easily into the skin with no obvious trace left behind, I found 2 pumps to be the amount I neede but each pump doesnt produce a lot. The cream is lightly scented and didnt produce the usual itchy eyes and runny nose that can be a problem for me. Almost from the first use my skin looks brighter and I,m happy with the results of the product. The exfoliation provided by the cream is great as after menopause I seem to need that help. But full disclosure I did use this in combination with the day cream that matches this night cream

I always use a night cream and this is a gentle cream, suitable for all skin types. It contains antioxidants to fight against free radicals and fruit acids to help improve the appearance of skin by boosting exfoliation. It also contains Himalayan Spring Water, apparently high in essential minerals, such as Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium to boost skin renewal and Orange and Citrus extracts to revitalise the skin. I love the scent of this. The pump action bottle is a little hard to use at first, but it does enable you to control the amount of cream you use. This is not cheap, but you do not need to use a large amount. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. A very nice, gentle night cream, which has a lovely fragrance.

Love love LOVE this! I have slightly oily skin which is prone to both breakouts of small spots and also frequent blackheads. After the breakouts IÕm left with slightly darker patches of skin where spots are healing. All this can be covered with light makeup but IÕd much rather have nice skin naturally. This cream helps all 3 issues. Due to the AHAs gently exfoliating the top layer of skin IÕm finding there are less spots, less formation of blackheads and the marks I had from previous spots are very gradually fading. After my first application I noticed my skin was really soft the next morning after washing my face. This is repeated each time you use it and the other benefits slowly make themselves apparent. My complexion is now brighter and healthier. I prefer this to manual exfoliation with abrasive scrubs. There is no irritation whatsoever. I donÕt use it every night. Perhaps 3 nights out of 7. I think once my skin has improved I might even just use it once or twice a week. It smells delicious, quite strong but very natural. I canÕt fault the cream itself at all, although the packaging is not ideal. Due to the fact the cream is quite dense (definitely a cream not a lotion) it comes out of the pump in fits and starts. I can foresee that there may be some wastage at the end of the bottle if itÕs so thick that I canÕt shake it down and out of the bottle neck, but weÕll see. IÕd still highly recommend it, even given the price and the packaging issue. IÕm sure IÕll buy it again.

This product is marketed as a natural beauty product. 'Herbal Essentials',its in the name. But the ingredients seem to be a rather long list of who knows what. Perhaps these are just the scientific terms for naturally occurring ingredients- i'm not sure. You get 50 ml of a product that claims to make you look rested when you wake up....well, here's the issue. Surely the act of sleeping (this is a night cream) makes you look rested? A friend did say my skin looked smoother and clear however i cant confirm if this is due to this cream since my skin changes based on hormones. I can say that i didn't have any allergic reaction to this product, no rash or anything. Overall i'm undecided verging on the skeptical with this product. Its expensive (although it does seem that you don't need to use alot per use), it claims its formulated with 'Himalayan spring water' which i cant help think is a marketing ploy.

I want to rate this higher than I have, because it's doing wonders for my skin. But. But. It has the worst pump dispenser I've ever used - the nozzle has such a tiny hole and the tube is so narrow that I have to, no lie, pump this at least 50 times to get enough to spread a thin layer on my face. The tube isn't attached very securely to the pump either, so in trying to use that to scoop up some moisturiser (which is quite thick) it came detached, and I had to find tweezers to lever it back out of the container. And because the cream is thick, you can't easily remove the pump, turn the container upside down and shake it out either. So it's quite a workout just using this! It also makes my skin flush and tingle for several hours after use, not to the extent that it's causing a rash or irritation, but it definitely leave my face feeling hot. It's quite unpleasant, and I'm finding it interfering with falling asleep. I suspect it's the acid. But my skin looks great in the morning, plump, toned, more even skin tone. I'll continue using this, but I can't see myself buying it again.

This cream smells fantastic. Its fruity and delicious which i like because i love fruity and citrusy anything. It is nice and light and absorbed well into the skin. I experienced no irritation or redness and my skin was left lovely and soft in the morning. It didnt make my skin oily and there was no transference onto my pillow like other night creams have tried. The one thing i did notice was dryness on the skin on my eyelids and eyesockets, never had that before as a side effect of using creams, but i am getting older and skins change all the time.
