Peach & Lily - DR81 review for Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream

Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream: "Peach & Lily's velvety Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream addresses real-life problems. If you've ever wondered why you might be seeing premature and rapid signs of aging, you're not alone. Our skin faces increasing stress from heightened pollution, fast-paced stressful lives, excess sun exposure and lack of sleep. All of this leads to free radical damage, which can accelerate signs of aging. This indulgent formula addresses all of this by drenching skin with powerful antioxidants, creating a protective barrier to help fight free radical damage at all layers of the skin. Spiked with Matcha, Cape Lilac Extract, Niacinamide and Adenosine, skin is blasted with antioxidants and brightening and firming ingredients. The delightful pudding texture delivers deep hydration without sitting heavy on the skin." For me, the ideal moisturizer leaves my skin hydrated without being greasy, it protects from pollution and environmental aggressions (ideally with antioxidant ingredients), it has a nice texture and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. That’s all. I don’t really believe in anti-aging creams (especially when they are at a ridiculous price), I trust my serums for that! A moisturizing cream moisturizes the skin only at the surface. It’s more like a protective product than a deep skin treatment. So for me, there’s no point in investing too much! The Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream is therefore completely in line with my definition of the ideal moisturizer! – It moisturizes without being heavy, with a velvety texture that leaves my skin comfortable without feeling greasy. – Its formula is full of antioxidant ingredients (Matcha tea, niacinamide, green tea, vitamin E, Cape Lilac extract) to help the skin defend itself against environmental aggressions that cause it to age faster. – Its formula is very well done, with the right balance between natural and synthetic high-performance ingredients, and it avoids unnecessary and/or irritating other ingredients. – It’s an absolute joy to use: its texture is so delicious that I could eat it, its scent is super pleasant, very subtle and yummy, and in addition, the jar looks very pretty in my bathroom! – Its price is not too expensive, $40 for 50ml. My experience: I started using the Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream about 6 weeks ago. With its formula rich in antioxidants, I thought the best time to use it would be in the morning (although it can be used morning and evening). Its formula is indeed a true anti-pollution shield, perfect to limit the aggressions of free radicals that make us age prematurely! Its texture is also ideal; it leaves my skin comfortable but after a few minutes it’s absorbed and my skin is matte, and feels like velvet. I find it absolutely perfect for the season (in winter, you may need to add a little bit of oil underneath if your skin feels tighter than usual, as I have dry/sensitive skin) and its moisturizing effect is long-lasting; for day/summer time use. The comfort feeling lasts all day long! I think the price is fair, especially considering the quality of this cream! The formula is well done, with many good ingredients that are carefully chosen. I don’t need to apply much (a small amount is enough for my face and neck), so I think the jar will last me for a few more months. A small detail that may be important to some, it does not contain silicones in its formula. I also love the name “Matcha Pudding” that perfectly reflects the texture and color of this product! It’s a yummy product, which I really enjoy using in the morning. Method I Used: I use it in the morning but you can use it morning and/or evening. I take the equivalent of about 2 pea size of cream using the spatula provided with it, and I apply it on my face and neck at the end of my routine, after my serums. I wait for a few minutes and then apply my sunscreen. Pros: - a great formula with many good skincare ingredients in good concentrations - a nice simple, chic but still colorful packaging - a lot of antioxidant ingredients for protection against free radicals - the long-lasting moisturizing effect (and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin) - the texture is really nice, creamy and indulgent (it makes me want to eat it) - the cream smells so good, it's really very pleasant to use In conclusion: You probably guessed it, I really like this Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream and I’ll certainly repurchase it in the future! - the price is good for the quality. Packaging: A pretty white plastic jar with the top of the cap colored in bright orange. Fragrance: A natural fruity scent, yummy but not sickening at all. Texture: A delicious "pudding" texture, super yummy. Creamy, but not greasy, it really looks like a dessert! For: All skin types, all ages Concerns: – need for hydration – need for environmental protection – wrinkles, fine lines – dullness – hyperpigmentation
