A couple months ago, I purchased some almond oil after reading online that they can help condition and strengthen lashes. I applied it at night, and one night I applied it all over my face in place of regular night cream. I went to bed with a greasy face, but woke up with soft, plump, happy skin. I decided to make a switch from my meh night cream (freebie blogger swag not worth mentioning) to almond oil.
As the weather got colder and dryer and more mean, the almond oil wasn't cutting it. I was getting the dry irritated skin under my nose, waking up with a tight face, and my skin looked a bit haggard. On top of it, almond oil wasn't doing anything for the little lines I am starting to get around my eyes and on my forehead (I am 36). Right when I was losing the almond oil love, I read a blog review of Ole Henriksen Pure Perfection Night Crème. As soon as I finished reading the post, I ordered myself a tub of Ole Henriksen's Pure Perfection Night Crème, it sounded so fantastic. As that I ordered it on Amazon and have Prime, it arrived two days later.
I have been using this cream since Christmas Eve and have seen a marked improvement in my skin. When I wake my face doesn't feel greasy, nor is it tight. The red, dry, irritated winter skin I get under my nose and around my mouth is history. My skin feels soft, and has a nice glow to it that is unusual to see during the coldest and darkest part of the year. No breakouts, no irritation, just happy comfortable skin that looks a bit more youthful. The wrinkles are still there, but they don't seem to be as obvious. Could be due to the anti-aging properties in this cream, or maybe because my skin is properly hydrated.
The formula is thick, but not heavy. A little goes a long way, so I will have this orange tub in my medicine cabinet for many months before it needs a replacement. It is to be used on the entire face - even the eye area (recommends Ole Henriksen's eye cream OVER it, five minutes after application of the night cream - I am using up the eye cream I currently have). So far, so good. This is my first time trying Ole Henriksen's line but after this experience, it won't be my last.
