Simple
Vital Vitamin Night Cream
Simple products are claimed to be suitable for people
with sensitive skin since they are free from any harsh
chemicals/additives/perfume..etc. I cannot prove that since I don't have
sensitive skin, but their products certainly have never irritated me nor did I
notice any fragrance. This night cream is quite light in consistency compared
to other night creams I used before, but not as running as a lotion. It is more
like a gel-cream texture. It does not leave an oily feeling but my face doesn't
feel dry/tight the next morning. Suitable for use all year round in HK, but
it's a bit not enough for winter in the UK especially with the heating on.
Since this product is not that oily compared to other night creams in the
market, it did not break me out nor block my pores.
Overall quite a decent product and I DO recommend
this product even if you have oily skin. Not to mention, Simple products are
always very affordable.
Nivea
Visage Regenerating Night Cream
I found myself always go back to this and I
have already gone through quite a few jars of this product in my pass few
years. However, when I reach for this winter, I found myself breaking-out a lot
after using this cream for about two / three nights. I was really shocked and I
have never had this problem before. I sat and thought about what was the
problem and 'click!', OH YES... I did move to a different country. I used to
use this product a lot when I was studying in the UK and this winter was the
first time I reached for this product after I moved back to HK. I liked using
this in the winter in the UK because this cream is as thick as if it's a block
of butter (yeah, like body butters), not only very hydrating for use in the dry
cold winter (with heating on), the oil in this product also prevents my face
from loosing moisture. Yes, there is a slight oily layer after applying but
acceptable and it's just the right amount to lock up the moisture without
making myself look like a disco ball (back to those days when I was in the UK).
It smells really nice, too! You only need a small amount, easily spreaded and
quickly absorbed!
However, it's a complete different story when I
reached for this in the winter in HK :(Even if I only use the tiniest amount,
it took me forever absorbing this cream and made me looked like a disco ball...
AND... blocked my pores very badly causing me acnes after two / three days of
usage.
I DO recommend this if you are living in a country
that's more cold and dry than HK, or somewhere you have heating on all the time
that tends to draw the moisture out of your skin.
I used to like the other products of this line like
the oil-free moisturiser and the eye cream, but I don't think I can use any of
these while I am staying in HK...:(
