THE BASICS
English Rose Cosmetics
is run by Karin McKay who after spending some years of love with luxurious beauty
products decided to make use of the same effective ingredients in a less expensive
way.
MY OPINION
As the summers approached I was out in search of a good moisturising
cream for my combination skin. I suffer with quite some dryness in winters for
which my Aveeno Moisturiser works
like a charm. But now I wanted something lighter, although I still use Aveeno through the daytime and it does
not break me out.
In the mail one day came the English Rose Cosmetics Nighty Night Cream with this very vintage-looking
packaging. The product has a very homely and ancient glamour appeal to it. The cream
was also covered with a protective lid inside. It has a slight herbal scent to it, which is
very subtle, reminds me of the pure aloe gel I used back at Pakistan.
The cream is said to have anti-aging, moisturising
properties. Applying the cream on my face gives a very refreshing sensation,
although I wish it smelled slightly nicer than almost-neutral. It is the most
lightweight cream I have ever come across; disappears instantly with not even
an ounce of greasiness. What is surprising that even then it is quite moisturising,
I do not see even a trace of dry patch around my cheeks. I cannot say much
about dry skin types, but combination-oily skins might quite enjoy its light-weightedness,
non-greasiness and moisturising properties. It does not even break me out.
I do not have any fine lines or wrinkles so cannot much say
about its anti-aging properties, but I do feel a very pleasant tightening
effect immediately after applying the cream on my face. Nighty Night Cream contains Revinage, an ingredient with all the
retinol properties without any of its side effects.
The cream did not make my complexion extra radiant but it
does keep my skin moisturised and non-oily.
English Rose Cosmetics also does not test on animals.
MY RATING
A great night-time moisturiser for combination-oily skin
types. It gives a very pleasant tightening effect after application which may
say something about its anti-aging properties of which I am not much of an expert
right now. I just wish it smelled nicer!
