Bel Essence Intensive Anti-Wrinkle and Anti-Aging Treatment Facial Lift Skin Care Formula Cream, 1.5 Ounce by Bel Essence

I absolutely LOVE this moisturiser! I have combination skin which is a little oily along the t-zone but the rest of my skin can feel very dry. I wanted a moisturiser that felt rich and luxurious without feeling heavy or greasy. I also wanted a moisturiser that would help my late 30-something (ahem) skin feel more youthful and would help address the growing problem of wrinkles (alas) without being packed full of those mysterious sounding chemicals that make my eyes sting. And this moisturiser does the job perfectly. My skin absolutely drinks this stuff up. It sinks in beautifully, leaving it feeling smooth and soft and generally loved! I don't like heavily perfumed products but this light fragrance smells good and is a nice reminder all the lovely natural oils that this little jar of magic contains. Using this is definitely the highlight of my bedtime beauty routine. I ordered a second pot when I got halfway through the first as I couldn't bear the thought of running out! I just wish they did a version that contains SPF so I could wear it as a day moisturiser. Oh and that they did a larger pot so I could slather it on all over - my skin just loves this stuff!

This is my second time purchasing this moisturiser. The first tub was absolutely gorgeous & my skin was beautiful - this time it has some kind of grit in it which you have to wipe off & after just 2 days use I became very spotty - I never have spots! Maybe one zit once a month, but my chin, nose & even cheeks keep having outbreaks of painful zits. Don't know why the formula has been changed but it's horrible stuff. I want a refund & the old formula back !!! I have discontinued use & within 4 days my skin was zit free again - very fishy as to what ingredients they're using ...

If you have oily skin this is a great product unlike some creams which leave a greasy film. Dont think its anti-aging though,

I genuinely like this cream. Waited approx. a month or so, after using consistently morning and night, before reviewing as wanted to offer my honest feedback on it. Found the cream pleasant to use. A little goes along way. I didn't find it greasy and feel it absorbs quickly. Sadly I'm yet to notice any change in the fine lines on my forehead or the ones around my eyes. Perhaps by the time the pot is finished there may be a difference, time will tell! I have however seen a change in my skin. It is brighter and feels smoother and somewhat tighter. I suffer from mild rosacea, the redness is by no means gone but does appear lessened. Overall I'm happy with this cream. I've had no reactions or breakouts which is usual when I try a new product. I fully intend to reorder again when this pot needs replaced.

First of all, I love the smell of it. I use it as a night cream and it definitely gets me in a relaxed mood to go to bed! Second of all, it's amazing how a cream that appears so thick when you first apply it can sink in so quickly. I've tried many 'intensive' night creams or similar with a similar consistency and not only have I probably left half the tub on the pillow by morning because it just won't sink in, but it also has wreaked havoc with my combination skin. I get spots very easily and other products with this kind of thickness just cause me to break out and I end up foisting them off on my sister, but this has done no such thing. It actually leaves my skin looking smoother and I'm sure it's helped to fade previous old marks/scars that were there before. I've also used a number of anti-wrinkle creams in the past that have not worked well with my skin, which can be quite sensitive and the chemical ingredients used for the anti-wrinkle effect sometimes leave me with dry, red, scaly patches. They do iron out the wrinkles, but at the cost of making me look like a horror movie extra! This does no such thing and, like I said, seems to work wonders with my skin, both in terms of not making me break out and not making me scaly. I feel so lucky to have found this cream. And it actually does work! I'm nearly at the bottom of my first tub and it seems to have helped smooth out some of the finer lines on my face that I've started to see (should have used more suncream...) There are a few deeper lines on my forehead that it doesn't seem to touch but to be honest I don't expect anything short of a scalpel is going to fix those and the cream works so well on other lines I can live with it!

I can't really comment on how good the product is because I only used a tiny finger-print sized amount, so this review is just a 'first impression' review. My nose does not agree with the smell! If anyone has ever bought argan oil (the one that smells like olives) it smells just like this. I didn't feel comfortable after rubbing it in as I felt like I'd just smeared a handful of olives all over my face. As you guessed, I'm not the biggest olive fan. It doesn't even have olive oil in it yet it smelt so strong once on my face! Either the smell went away after a little while or my nose got used to the smell and couldn't smell it any more as perfume works. I don't know why Bel Essence didn't use the type of argan oil that doesn't smell... (doesn't mean that there are more nutrients in the smelly kind as the one I found that is unscented was organic and unrefined) The first day I opened the cream it just smelt neutral so I don't know why it smells so distinctive now. Don't know if it has anything to do with the air getting to it after I opened it somehow or because I have a cold and maybe I'm just feeling a bit better today and can actually smell it. :D Or maybe it was just a different batch of cream being as its mostly natural? Either way, this product wasn't for me. Might be good for others though so if my review hasn't put you off, give it a chance! You can even buy mine off me!

I have fallen in love with Bel Essence Intensive All-Natural Anti-Wrinkle Treatment. It's just amazing - I'm 40 and lately my skin has gotten dryer and dryer; Otherwise I have always had sensitive combination skin. Over the years I have tried so many creams and lotions, both expensive and less expensive, but Bel Essence actually made me understand what it is I've been looking for all this time! It just feels so rich! So thick in pure quality! It's not creamy and "perfumy" in the feel (though it smells wonderful), and it's natural -it's like I've collected the ingredients myself, and prepared the mixture with a lot of love. My skin just loves loves looooves it and my cheeks feel soft like a baby's! I'm definitely sticking to this product. I will take it with me wherever I go. And I will try their other products as well. Highly recommended. Thank you Bel Essence, Amazon and Best Health Shop! :)

I have to be careful with my skin as it is made up of a greasy middle panel (we are talking very greasy - five minutes after washing my face it's producing oil!), dry cheeks and dry chin. It is also sensitive and prone to spot break out at any time (even in my 40s I cannot escape the acne!). So, given the above, shopping for a moisturising skin cream can be quite an arduous experience which has led me to stick to my tried and tested products (Nivea and Astral). However, as I think my skin is now turning towards the drier side (although still not shifting my oily middle panel!), I felt that it would benefit from a more intensive treatment (but without bankrupting myself in the process). Touch wood and fingers crossed, this cream seems to do the job perfectly. I have only had it for a few days but already my skin feels a lot more soft (nourished almost!) and, as you work the cream in (which doesn't take a second - my face almost feels like it's drinking it in!), you can feel a soothing/tingly feeling. I cant vouch for it's anti-wrinkle quality as I understand these results can only be garnered after long-term use but can confirm that this is unlike any other cream I have used before. NB: It comes in a relatively small pot - but as the cream is so rich you wont need much for it to do its thing. It is also quite strongly scented but this is not noticeable after application.
