I didn’t truly understand exactly how to name this publish – however basically, I’ve been utilizing two new nighttime deal with creams recently. The very first one, I started utilizing as well as reacted terribly to, as well as the second was to the rescue.
Can you assumption which was which?
If you’d guessed The Body shop Vitamin E Nourishing night cream as the one I reacted to, you’d be correct!
And if you had asked me to assumption which would be the “bad” cream at the beginning, I personally would have guessed MAC. I mean, The Body shop (TBS) is understood for great skincare, right? They’re soothing as well as full of great ingredients… right? MAC is a makeup brand, not a skincare brand!
“Rich yet quickly absorbed night cream that protects, replenishes as well as assists avoid moisture-loss overnight.”
The very first thing that struck me about TBS Vitamin E Night cream is the scent. It is so overwhelming – the very best I can explain it is synthetic floral restroom fragrance spray – as well as lingers for rather a while after application.
Texture-wise, it has a somewhat whipped, airy consistency which makes for simple blending as well as absorption.
It leaves the skin feeling moisturized however not looking excessively greasy. I wished to like this! So why did this not work me?
After about a week of utilizing this I discovered that I was getting clogged pores on my cheeks which is unusual because I am the driest there (I have combination, dehydrated, sensitive skin). After one more week, I suspected the culprit was this cream as well as I lastly examined the ingredients – I discovered that “Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil” is the third ingredient. I wasn’t familiar keeping that oil as well as it turns out it’s Wheat Germ Oil. I looked it up as well as discovered that wheat germ oil is one of the most comedogenic oils around!
Very few people can tolerate the utilize of wheat germ oil as it is an practically guaranteed breakout when used topically. It’s unfortunate since it has a few of the very best scar decreasing as well as healing properties of any type of oil because of its extremely high Vitamin E content. However, such high levels are what provide it its comedogenic rating. utilize this oil at your own risk!
Lähde.
I stopped utilizing this on my deal with as well as voila, no more clogged pores. I have not discovered wheat germ oil in my skincare before as well as now I have it etched in my brain to prevent it. Why would TBS utilize such a high concentration of such a comedogenic oil for a deal with cream?! I inspected the component listing on my cherished TBS Vitamin E Toner as well as it does likewise listing wheat germ oil, however much lower on the component listing – possibly that’s why I did not have an adverse reaction to it. I ought to note that TBS Vitamin E night cream has good evaluations in general (3.8 out of 5 on MakeupAlley, with 69% who would repurchase, 152 reviews), so it may work for those with extremely dry skin. Here’s the full component list:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil/Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Dimethicone, PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate, Stearyl Alcohol, Isododecane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter/Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Myristyl Myristate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Panthenol, Hydrogenated Tetradecenyl/Methylpentadecene, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer, Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Hydroxycitronellal, Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, CI 14700/Red 4, CI 19140/Yellow 5.
Another thing to note: the cream is tinted somewhat pink, as well as includes CI 14700/Red 4 as well as CI 19140/Yellow 5 colourants, which I feel is unnecessary for a deal with cream. TBS Vitamin E Nourishing night cream retails for C$22 for a 50ml jar. It is made in the UK. I bought it back in July, as well as started utilizing it in mid-October as well as stopped in early November.
Plussat:
• Light structure for simple absorption
• offers great hydration
• Inexpensive
Haittoja:
• Strong, overpowering fragrance
• Wheat germ oil high on component listing – extremely comedogenic
• triggered clogged pores
• includes colourants
Stash worthiness: 4/10
I attempted to utilize this up on my hands / feet at nighttime as well as my SO would have none of it – the scent upset him so much – I have not heard such a strong objection from him before! So, it’s into the bin with this cream.
After the letdown with TBS Vitamin E cream, I was a bit hesitant to try the MAC studio wetness Cream. I mean, MAC isn’t widely known for their skincare, however I expect I was curious sufficient to purchase this back in August, so I may also just provide it a go.
And to my surprise, I truly such asthis cream.
I appreciate that both TBS as well as MAC have the inner lid – I always keep them throughout the usage of the cream. Do you keep the inner lid or toss them when you open the product?
The cream is lightweight as well as feels silky smooth on the skin. Its structure remind me a bit of mayonnaise – however in a great way!
Compared to TBS Vitamin E night Cream, this did leave a somewhat shiny surface to the skin. The odor of this cream is subtle (the finest I can explain it is clean, like toner) as well as not whatsoever offensive.
The only somewhat irritating thing is the packaging: the lid has a rubberized surface so it’s a magnet for each bit thing.
“Smooth over clean deal with as well as throat. utilize day or night, under makeup or alone.”
The essential components are glycol (humectant), silicone, as well as Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil (kukui nut / candlenut oil). then there are a lot of extracts that are antioxidants, hyalouronic acid, as well as even caffeine – I was amazed to see these components in a MAC cream – this is anything however a fundamental cream.
Water Purified, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric/Stearic Triglyceride, Myristyl Myristate, Cetyl Esters, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil, Passiflora Alata Fruit Extract, Hordeum Vulgare Extract, Wheat Germ Extract, Spinach leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis leaf Extract, Coconut Extract, Hypnea Musciformis Extract, Gellidiela Acerosa Extract, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Caffeine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carbomer, Sodium Carbomer, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Acrylamides Copolymer, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyperfluoromethylisopropyl Ether, Behenyl Alcohol, Fragrance, BHT, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben
The MAC studio wetness cream offers for C$40 for 50ml which I believe is still rather sensible for a deal with cream. It is made in the USA. On MakeupAlley, individuals rate this 4.2 out of 5, with 78% who would repurchase out of 57 reviews.
This cream was the perfect one for the autumn to winter season shift – we had a extremely moderate December so I was able to utilize this all the method from November up until the beginning of January, at which point I went back to my reliable Shiseido Bio-Performance advanced very Revitalizing Cream for much more intense hydration. This cream is marketed as appropriate for either day or night as well as I would agree – I will be utilizing the MAC cream for daytime when I surface my Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream.
Plussat:
• Light silky structure for simple absorption
• offers great hydration
• No offensive smell
• Ei reaktiota
• Melko hinnoiteltu
Haittoja:
• may not be hydrating sufficient for extremely dry skin
• Rubberized lid
Stash worthiness: 8/10
Another fantastic thing about this cream? when I empty it, I will save the jar for Back to MAC! It got me thinking… I ought to utilize much more MAC skincare products. It’s so much simpler to surface up skincare than makeup – as well as then I can trade them in for a totally free lipstick or eye shadow!
Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison as well as swatches between the 2 creams:
The whipped structure of the TBS Vitamin E cream is obvious here, as is the silkier structure of the MAC studio wetness cream.
So here’s a situation where my expectations as well as results got changed around – it just goes to show, I can’t presume anything. have you ever tried a product expecting to like it however didn’t, or vice versa?
