Rich Moisturizer for Maturing Skin
For the last few months, I've been focusing on taking better care of my skin after decades of neglect. I'm 52 and have maturing skin that's beginning to develop some fine lines and is prone to being dry. I've tried a few other Lancome products and been happy with the results. I ordered this "Absolue Longevity MD Intercept Face Cream For Mid-Age, Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer with Mitopure" because it's specifically designed for maturing skin.When the cream arrived, I couldn't find a manufacturing or expiration date on either the box or jar. Both were marked with what appears to be a lot number and labeled as made in France. The jar feels like glass and includes an additional inner cover under the lid. I've tried a few other luxury products and the one tiny nit-picky thing I wish this cream included is one of the small spatulas for retrieving the cream from the jar. Once I started using them I wondered why I hadn't thought of it sooner. They're easy to wipe with an alcohol pad and I feel like that helps prevent the introduction of contaminants. I already have some on hand, but including one would make the experience feel a little more luxurious.I'm fragrance sensitive and already familiar with the scent profile Lancome tends to use in their skincare products. "Fragrance" is listed as one of the ingredients, which is always a wildcard for me because it doesn't really explain the scent profile. This definitely leans heavily floral, which isn't usually my favorite type of fragrance, and the intensity is close to the upper limit of what I comfortably tolerate. It lingers longer than many skincare products I've used, although eventually I stop noticing it. Fragrance is so personal that someone else may absolutely adore both the scent profile and the fact that it lingers a bit. Personally, I wish Lancome offered an unscented skincare line.This is a light but luxurious feeling cream. It has enough body to glide smoothly and massage in easily. The instructions say to use it twice a day, which fits perfectly into my skincare routine. The cream absorbs quickly without leaving behind any sticky or greasy residue and I haven't noticed any pilling. Once absorbed, my skin feels soft and nicely moisturized. I don't wear makeup so I can't speak to how it layers under cosmetics. My skin hasn't felt dry and I haven't experienced any redness or irritation since I started using it. I've been pairing it with Lancome's Intercept Serum and may already be noticing some improvement in the fine lines around my eyes. I'm also hoping to see some improvement in my smile lines with longer use.So far, I've been using the cream for about two weeks and have been really happy with the results. I think this is the sort of product where the more dramatic improvements likely come with sustained use over time. At the time of my order, 50mL costs $155 which definitely places this in the premium luxury skincare category. If it's comfortably within your budget, I think this is a very high quality cream.Ver másVer menos
