This night cream comes in a delightful jar with a mirror top lid. Love the look of it on my dresser. However, it smells kind of like aftershave..... good thing it's for use at night. The cream itself is very soft, making it easy to get a big glob at one time. Promoting overuse? It glides on smoothly and evenly, though, for good coverage.
My face feels nice and soft and moisturized, but is this due to the day cream, or the serum? Or all 3, perhaps (got all 3 through the product review club!). We have had quite hot, humid weather lately, and I am inclined to think this (and the other 2 products) might be a good product for cooler, dryer weather. When I wash my face in the morning, even with just water, I can feel the layer of "slime" coming off. So it does stay on and seal up and keep working in my face all night.

I received a full-sized 50 ml jar for free from Vichy, thru the Product Review Club, along with the Neovadiol Compensating Complex Serum and the Neovadiol Compensating Complex Night Cream.
They recommend that you use the day cream every morning, overtop of the serum.
This day cream has an attractive jar with a mirrored lid which looks pretty fancy on my dresser.
It has a very slight perfumey scent, which fades quickly. It's not too overwhelming. The cream itself is thick and white, it goes on smoothly and is quite creamy.
I have used it most days for 3 weeks, along with the other 2 Vichy products. My face is extremely well moisturized, and feels nice and smooth and soft, yet firm. It might be touch too moisturizing for my skin in this hot summer weather we are having. Also, it doesn't not have any SPF which I prefer in a day cream.
After a few more weeks I'm going to save this cream for some dryer weather to give it a better test.

I received a full-sized 30 ml bottle for free from Vichy, thru the Product Review Club, along with the Neovadiol Compensating Complex Day Cream and the Neovadiol Compensating Complex Night Cream.
They recommend that you use the serum day and night, underneath the day and night creams.
This serum has an easy-to-use pump dispenser that I love, and comes in a slender, tall attractive bottle which looks lovely on my dresser. ;)
It has an OK scent, a little perfumey for me, I think, but it's not too overwhelming and doesn't linger too long. The serum itself is silky and pleasant to use, it goes on smoothly and is very easy to spread over my face and neck.
I have used it most days and nights for 3 weeks, along with the other 2 Vichy products. My face is extremely well moisturized, and feels nice and smooth and soft, yet firm. We have been having some very hot weather, and perhaps it is a little bit of overkill for this season. After a few more weeks, I might save this quality product for cooler, dryer weather! It doesn't really make me feel greasy at all, but I do notice the slippery residue as I wash my face in the morning and evening.
I have't decided if I will purchase this product in the future, but if it passes the cold/dry weather test I think it might be a good one to have!

I love this stuff! And more importantly, my kids love it too. It's so tasty and nutty....my 2 yr-old and 4 yr-old eat it on yogurt, as do I. I try to save it for the kids, as I don't really need the extra fat content. We already love to eat nuts and... +
I love this stuff! And more importantly, my kids love it too. It's so tasty and nutty....my 2 yr-old and 4 yr-old eat it on yogurt, as do I. I try to save it for the kids, as I don't really need the extra fat content. We already love to eat nuts and seeds, so this as another delicious alternative to our diet. It's a little pricey, but so are most yummy nuts and seeds. It's good value and lasts us a while as we don't eat it every day. -

I received 2 sample packets of Dream Belly Butter after my second baby was almost 1 year old. That didn't stop me from trying it out, though. This soft, creamy, lightly scented (almost a baby powder smell?) belly butter IS a dream to rub on the body! It is very moisturizing, as it is meant to be used on a stretched out, pregnant belly, so I have been using it on my dry hands and feet, due to this dry Canadian winter. It lasts for quite a long time, as you can feel it wash off at your next shower. A very nice cream, I wish I had it when I was pregnant! I am not sure of the cost but it is probably worth it. If I have another baby I will definitely get some, as it is much better than what I was using. -

I received Nivea's In-Shower Cocoa Butter Body Lotion as part of the Product Review Club a week ago and have been using it at the end of every shower. I've never used a skin conditioner in the shower before, but it's nice and slippery and smooths on easy, and rinses off easy as well. And the smell - SO GOOD! It's a very delicate, light, cocoa butter scent.....yum. I wish it lingered on a little longer....
My skin feels fresh and soft after each use, and no need to smear on the body lotion afterwards. Very time-saving. It might not be as moisturizing as some body lotions, but as long as the cold dry winter weather is over I will continue using it.

I received this through the Product Review Club a week ago and have been using it every morning and evening. I have noticed that the fine lines beside my eyes are diminishing and my skin feels smoother and softer. It's pretty neat: there are little yellow pearls in the bottle and it pumps out as a yellow serum. The bottom of the bottle goes up as you pump so there is no wasted serum. It has a light, perfume-y fresh scent, not really my favourite kind of scent, but it's very light and doesn't linger. It says to use under a moisturizer, so it is not a replacement for moisturizer. I haven't used it for very long, but I like what I see so far and will continue to do so! I wasn't using a similar product already, so Nivea's Q10 plus Serum Pearls may have found a regular spot on my dresser. -

I received a 75 ml sample of this through the Product Review Club to test out. Decent price for the amount you get. The last similar product I tried was very nice, but more expensive for a lot less.
Garnier's SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer has a very nice, fresh, orangey scent that isn't too strong. The pump dispenses a little less than I like to use on my face and neck, but another half-press of the pump does the job. Better a little less than too much!
The lotion is easy and pleasant to rub on, being oil-free and light. I have only used this for a couple of days and so haven't noticed any brightening and smoothing effects yet, but it does keep my skin moisturized. Also love the SPF 15 to protect my face on a daily basis.
I will be back to report more!!

I just received my full-sized sample of this product 2 days ago (yay product review club!!) and started using it yesterday. It appears to be just like water and is pretty much unscented. So far I have used it 3 times (morning and evening) and it is very refreshing and cooling on the skin. I haven't used it to clean off make-up but it leaves my face clean and smooth and fresh. I like how it can be used on the eyelids and lips as well.
I will be back to report more after further use!
