Review on Advanced Clinicals Aloe Vera Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid Face & Body Cream Moisturizer For Dry Skin, Age Spots, Sun Damage - 16 Oz (2 Pack) by Alicia Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lush, dewy rose fragrance makes this an elegant and hardworking moisturizer at a terrific value!

This cream is OUTSTANDING! I bought it primarily because I’m a huge fan of anything that smells of roses. I was looking for just a simple rose body/hand cream. But I stumbled across this and I’m so glad I did!FRAGRANCEIt smells soooo good! Exactly the sweet rosy fragrance I adore. And it lingers, sweetly fragrancing your skin with a lovely romantic scent. I know "rose” fragrances can vary, from powdery to watery to that dusty "Old Granny” aroma. This particular rose scent is like breathing in a lush, dewy pink rose in your garden. It’s not overwhelming, but it’s not so subtle that you can barely notice it. The scent is just enough to be really relaxing and enjoyable, without overpowering your separate perfume. I especially enjoy smelling of sweet roses at bedtime; I find it very comfortable, soothing and satisfying. The rose fragrance is a fantastic feature that makes this cream really stand out in the crowded, complex skincare market.VERSATILITY & EFFECTSSpeaking of comfort, the texture of this cream is soft and comforting. It’s about your average thickness, not watery but not butter. A pump’s worth will be enough for athorough coverage of your whole face and neck, down to your décolletage. A pump’s worth is what I use on each arm, for another example. I use this cream everywhere, not just my face, neck, and hands. I haven’t used it long enough to note any anti-aging effects, but right now, along with the fragrance, I love its VERSATILITY. It can be used from head to toe - literally.I keep it on my bedside table and it’s there whenever I need it, for my hands (which is often), or for my new routine at bedtime, when I apply it to my face, neck, chest, backs of my arms, elbows, and sometimes my legs. Already I do feel it’s softened my rough right elbow. (My left is luckily not a problem.)Speaking of rough patches, I used to have severe, all-over psoriasis, one of those wonderful bonus issues that come with my lifelong Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Fortunately for me, it’s currently completely clear (thanks to my latest immunosuppressant biologic medication, Xeljanz, which is also controlling my JRA well.) But since this cream has Vitamin E, Avocado Oil, and SEA SALT, I am certain it would be an effective moisturizer for those ugly rough red psoriasis patches, should they ever return (please no). Sea salt is surprisingly soothing and moisturizing.Side note on sea salt: my mother recently suffered an *extreme* bout of eczema, so itchy and debilitating that she had to go in disability leave. During the worst times, she would spend HOURS in the bathtub, soaking in Dead Sea salts she ordered in enormous 10-pound buckets. She would even nap in there. It was the only thing that gave her relief. But that’s another review, isn’t it. My point is, I like that sea salt is an ingredient here in this cream.PACKAGINGAs I’ve mentioned, and as you can see in the accompanying product picture, this comes in a large tub with a big pump on top. I love that! The plastic tub is nice and sturdy, so I can reach over and pump it easily without having to hold onto it. The tub is not particularly decorative, but it’s not ugly, either. I actually like the design, with the metallic pink label on a white background. I confess, I’m a total sucker for subtle marketing tactics, and something about this label with the giant lettering attracts me.GREAT VALUEFor all the many uses I have for this rose cream, the value is amazing. A huge 16 Oz tub of beautifully scented, effective moisturizer with anti-aging properties for less than $20!? Any name brand would be charging twice that much for 1/4, heck, even 1/16 the amount! I cannot overstate the value here.BOTTOM LINEI love this. I am so thrilled to have it in my routine. It’s a pleasure to use, one of life’s simple little joys. If it has visible anti-aging benefits, that will be extra frosting on the already frosted cake. I will be looking into other products by this maker, even though they won’t have the lovely rose fragrance. The value of this line compared to the various luxury-brand anti-aging skincare products I regularly invest in is reason enough to take stock of my skincare regimen. I’m most interested in the Collagen, Retinol, and Argan creams; I have to do some research into how exactly each of these components prevents or reverses signs of aging. As far as this Bulgarian Rose cream goes, it seems like a multi-purpose formula.I will be recommending this to my best friend, and I recommend it to you, too. I’m sitting here right now breathing in the elegant, delicate scent of rose, having just done my nightly routine. It makes bedtime beautiful.
