    I was pleasantly surprised when I used this cream. I do not usually buy creams with sunscreen in them because of the smell and thickness, but this cream was not as thick as most with sunscreen. I didn't like however that it took awhile to absorb into my skin. I have young children and only have a certain amount of time to get ready so the added waiting time to apply my makeup was not good. The smell was decent. I think a face cream shouldn't be to perfumey so it works for me! I was also pleased with the price, as most creams on the market are at least 5 to 10 dollars more. I also didn't notice any difference in the wrinkles around my eyes but my forehead wrinkles didn't seem as deep after only just one week! As for buying it, I might buy it in the winter but as for summertime it's a little to thick for my skin type!

    I recieved this product from Chickadvisor's Product Review Club and I've been using it consistantly already for about 2 weeks. What I like about this product is the package, prefer the jar form then a pump. It did take away some of my wrinkles around my eye area, which I am happy about. The only two disadvantages I can think of about this product are: 1. makes my face appear oily, maybe its because I apply to much of it on. Hard to tell. 2. The texture is thick, would have prefered it better if the texture was a bit lighter. But I do like how it does have SPF in it.

    Like the Marcelle's under eye creme, this product goes on smooth and gives me an overall 'brighter' look. It's not greasy whatsoever, and it blends into your skin well. It applies nicely and evenly to my face and neck regions.

    Nowadays, SPF is a must for me, and although this moisturizer only contains 15 SPF, I'd take that over nothing (also, a lot of makeups come with 10-15 SPF now, so when you layer both, it sort of helps add to the level you're wearing). Also, being fragrance free is a huge bonus.

    I'm excited to try this product again in the winter months, where my skin is dryer due to weather.

    Based on the two Marcelle products I've tested, I would explore more of their product lines in the future. I am a bit stuck on the price. I do think it's decent for the product, but at the same time, I'm always looking for ways to avoid breaking the bank. I'm a cheap-o at heart I guess.

    I thought I'd already uploaded this, but it seems it didn't go through. Unfortunately this one will be a bit shorter, because I don't have a lot of time.

    Anyhoo, the nice part about this is that I've had a chance to use it longer - and I'm loving it!

    I actually have noticed a difference in my skin. It's soften, more supple and it's tone is better. Before it was looking a little bit dull, and tired, but after 2 weeks with this product, it actually is looking and feeling better!

    I love the texture of it -- smooth, whipped and creamy. Except when it's 40C in TO, it has kind of melted. But still works.

    I'm really enjoying this product and would definitely recommend it.

    The only downside I have to say is that I'm not a fan of the smell. It has a strong sunscreen scent, but it goes away fairly quickly.

    I got this moisturizer as part of the product review club (if you aren't a member what are you waiting for?) I just checked Marcelle's website and saw that it retails for $27.50, which I think is an acceptable price for the amount of moisturizer you get, but is also more than I tend to spend on my moisturizers.

    I like that it contains SPF and is targeted at women in my age range, who don't have deep wrinkles yet but are starting to think about anti-aging skincare. What I don't like is that it contains chemical sunscreens (oxybenzone and octinoxate), which are possibly be carcinogenic. Personally from now on I'd only like to use natural SPF, so for that reason alone I would not repurchase this moisturizer.

    In terms of the moisturization, this hydrates well and absorbs pretty quickly. I've worn it under my makeup (and under my Neostrata Oil Free Mattifying Fluid) and I had no issues with it balling up or doing anything weird. Since we're in the middle of the summer I can't fully judge its moisturizing abilities, but I'm pretty confident it could handle those dry winter months.

    Although this moisturizer is perfume free it does have a light scent that I don't love. It smells vaguely sunscreen-ish. Personally I prefer something with no scent, or if it scented I'd rather it be something fresher.

    I think this is a decent product, but it's just not for me.

    I received the Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Day Cream SPF 15 from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club and have been using everyday for about two weeks now. It's a thick cream with a faint perfumed smell but nothing strong. Goes on smoothly a little more oily then what I'm used to but it makes your skin feel very soft.Good sized cream and since you don't need a lot on your face it should last a long time. I don't have a much wrinkles but I do notice my forehead is where most of my wrinkles occur. I've been noticing the wrinkles are not as deep as they used to be and look less noticeable now. I look forward to seeing how much this cream will have an effect on my fine lines. I love the built in SPF for these hot summer months we have been having. Protects my face from the damaging sun rays. I would recommend this product especially to dry skin sufferers because of the deep moisturizing it provides.

    I received the Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Day Cream SPF 15 from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club and have been using everyday for two weeks. I really like the packaging of the product, the jar is huge and when you compare the the retail price to each ounce, you are getting a great deal of product for the price. I didn’t mind the smell of the product either; it did not have a perfume infused scent but did have a slight trace of SPF which was not as strong as some other day creams I have used.

    After two weeks of use I noticed some of the tiny fine lines on my face began to smooth out and were slightly less noticeable, I think I would have to use this product a bit longer to notice a dramatic improvement. The only thing I did not like was the thick consistency of the cream itself, which would be fine in any other season except for summer, the cream melted off my face quickly in the heat if I did not apply a foundation immediately after. I do recommend this product for women who want to prevent or who are experiencing the first signs of aging. I will buy this product again and make it apart of my fall/winter/spring daily skincare routine.

    I received this cream from the product review club and I've been quite happy with it. It has the fragrance and consistency of a good sunscreen (like Ombrelle, perhaps). It absorbs fairly quickly and keeps my skin soft for a long time. It's a little bit heavier than the moisturizer I use now, but I don't find it too heavy for the summer months. I love that it has SPF 15. A little goes a long way, so a pot would probably last a while. I don't have many wrinkles, but I'm at the age where I'm interested in preventing them, so this cream is a good fit for me!

    I have been using Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Day Cream for just under 2weeks now! This cream is very light and fragrance free. I wouldn't use a cream like this during the winter months but it's ideal for spring/summer. It has helped to keep my face moisturized throughout the day without having to reapply in the afternoon. The only drawback the SPF isn't higher! I don't have wrinkles worth worrying about so can't say if it has worked or not! I do know that I wouldn't mind using this in place of my regular Estee Lauder day cream especially for such a great price!

    I received this product to try from the Product Review Club. First of all, I really enjoyed how this cream was fragrance free and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I loved the texture and found it wasn't too light or too heavy but just right. It was smooth feeling and absorbed quickly. I'll have to see if this cream will provide enough moisture in the winter time because my skin gets much drier. I also found that this cream provided a nice surface to apply my make up. It acted as a primer and made my foundation go on smoothly and evenly. The SPF is a nice bonus and provides just enough protection to use on a daily basis. So far I have not seen a difference in terms of the fine lines but I will continue to use the product as I feel it may be too early to tell.
