Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Moisture Rich Night Cream

I have sensitive skin and that means that at times I have to be careful with the products that I use on my face.  The wrong product will cause issues almost straight away. The words "safe for sensitive skin" are always enticing, so I was glad to see them printed on the box of the Palmers Moisture Rich night Cream. It became even better when I looked at all the goodies that this cream contains, such as Vitamin E which is a powerful Antioxidant, Shea Butter and Aloe Vera, which are known for their soothing properties.  Most exciting of all is the fact that it also contains Retinol for aiding in your skins renewal process. For such a powerful ingredient, it is so very gentle, but you must be very careful to make sure that when using products with Retinol that you use good sun protection.  It can make your skin more sensitive to to the burning rays of the sun. I found the scent of this night cream to be very mild and not at all like the other moisturisers from Palmers.  This cream absorbs wonderfully well and is not greasy on the skin at all.  It caused no issues with my sensitive skin, and left my skin feeling smoother, softer, and with a healthy radiance.  Fine lines are reduced and I love the Night cream so much I have already purchased a replacement Jar. The jars themselves are very sturdy ceramic with plastic screw on lids. If you are looking for a good night cream that contains Retinol and won't break the bank then this is the product for you.

I have used a lot of the Palmer’s body products but it wasn’t until I was given a tube of Palmer’s Moisture Rich Night Cream that I took more notice of the face products.    The first thing I noticed about the Moisture Rich Night Cream is that it contains Retinol which is one of my favourite skincare ingredients to promote skin renewal and enhance collagen production.  The addition of Vitamin E, and that the cream is formulated with a peptide complex to smooth and plump the skin, had me interested from the start.    I have mature, combination skin with no sensitivity and I have used numerous products without any adverse reaction.  In fact, my skin pretty much accepts anything, but the effectiveness of any product is based on whether I see a noticeable improvement in my skin over a four week period.    My first impressions of the Moisture Rich Night Cream were:  the fragrance is strong but pleasant; and the texture is smooth, rich and creamy.  I don’t mind a fragrance in skincare products at all.  In fact, I find them quite calming and soothing, especially during my evening skincare routine.  I prefer a rich night cream that melts into my skin and works overnight to plump and nourish my skin.    The deciding factor on how I apply this cream depends on which skincare products I apply first.  If I apply a booster and serum then I find it much easier to pat the night cream into my skin rather than try and spread it.  But, no matter which way it is applied, the night cream smells good and feels good.    For me, the tell-tale sign if a product is keeping my skin hydrated overnight, is when I awake to skin that looks smooth, soft and plump.  And, Palmer’s has top marks for doing this.  When I cleanse my skin each morning it looks healthy, glowing and hydrated. Just how I like my skin to look.    Good things come in small packages and I like the small tubes the Palmer’s Moisture Rich Night Cream is packaged in.  This keeps the product fresh and I find the tubes so easy and practical for travelling.  I’d recommend Palmer’s Moisture Rich Night Cream to anyone with combination or dry skin who is looking for an affordable, rich night cream.    

Love love love this night cream! It is super hydrating and as far as night dreams go this one is thick, non-greasy and sinks nicely into the skin. Leaves the skin feel super soft and well hydrated. I would highly recommend it to all skin types especially those with dry skin.

I received a sample size of this about a year ago and loved it. I am into the whole cocoa butter/coconut scent of Palmer's – scent is very important to me and while unscented is fine (and probably safer in terms of irritants), a bad scent is usually a deal-breaker for me. Happily Palmers has a scent that I love - but what about the actual quality of the night cream? Well, I was delighted and a little surprised that such an affordable - okay, let’s be frank, downright cheap – product worked so well. Palmer's night cream is rich, thick and creamy – just the formula I need to see my skin through the sleeping hours. I can massage it very easily and it absorbs well. The next morning my skin feels so soft and plump and looks brighter. So Palmer's night cream is cheap only in the monetary sense, definitely not in quality. The only disappointment was that the size being so small –  only 15g- soon ran out, and when I repurchased only the small size was available. Fortunately I eventually found the much more practical 75g size, so I can enjoy the velvety goodness without running back to the shop too soon. The cocoa butter formula is the power behind the moisture-enhancing properties of the cream and it’s thickness acts as a protectant. In addition to the familiar cocoa butter, there is Retinol to encourage cell renewal, softening Vitamin E, aloe and peptides. This combination of ingredients produces an awesome result – soft, glowing skin ready for the day and, of course, your morning beauty routine. Palmer's Night Cream is suitable for anyone, but I would particularly recommend it for drier, ageing skin, that would appreciate a thicker, more nourishing texture. Equally recommended for those who want a good night cream without spending a fortune – in other words, all of us!
