Sk:n, The UK's No. 1 skin clinic |
I recently bought a new moisturiser, Sk:n Age-Delaying Cream for younger skin. I bought this because it indicates it is for younger skin and anti-ageing. I thought this is perfect since I was trying to figure out which brand is more suited for my age group- 20s.
The other feature that attracted me was the ingredient. Lately, I have been paying more attention to the ingredients of the skin care products, I never used to read the ingredients. I just chose which ever one I thought was affordable and indicated it was hydrating. But we all know 5/10 skin care products doesn't do what it claims to do or it doesn't suit our skin even if it says its for our skin type. So I did my research to find out what makes a good moisturiser and what does people in their 20s need for their skin.
A good moisturiser should have (for the age group 20s);
Sun Protection, UVA & UVB filter
Vitamin A, E & C
Shea Butter/ Cocoa Butter/ Macadamia Oil, or others that really hydrates the skin
Ceramide
Although, this Sk:n face cream doesn't have all of above but it does have most of them. The main problem I have with it, is that it doesn't have sun protection but I could just apply an extra layer of sun protection on top.
I've been using it for 2 weeks now and so far so good. I say that because I have sensitive skin and my skin works in a funny way. A moisturiser may seem to work for a couple of weeks but later certain parts of my face will start to have bad reaction with red patches that burns. And so far I haven't had such reactions with this cream, after all it does say it is UK's No. 1 skin clinic so should be good.
Final Pros & Cons:
Pros
Really hydrating
Contains Vitamins that are anti-oxidants; A, C & E
Good packaging- it has a pump which is easy to control.
Small- can easily fit in a travel cosmetic bag.
Cons
Doesn't have sun protection
Has a greasy/ sticky finishing feel
Quite dear- £29 for 30ml only. When I bought it, it was on offer for £19.
