Ahava Time To Smooth Age Control Sleeping Cream

Nice smooth cream

I bought this cream because of the flawless reviews and half off discount, and back to Ulta it's going! Every night I used this cream, it initially went on nicely—it was thick and felt moisturizing, and my skin was glowing. My only complaint was the very heavy, unnecessary fragrance, but I overlooked it. Within a couple of hours, my skin was woefully dry. Yes, it looked smooth, but it undid all of the work my winter skincare routine had done in a matter of hours. I tried several times to make this work, but each time, without fail, my skin lost all moisture. If you have normal to slightly dry skin, this may work fabulously for you. As I said, it does smooth skin like nothing else I've used. However, if you have dry to very dry skin, avoid this. Even used with heavy moisturizers, this somehow saps all of the moisture from them and your face. If you have sensitive skin, you may also want to skip this since it's so heavily fragranced.

I use this product at night after cleansing and exfoliating, all by itself without additional serums or retinol based products. My skin is sensitive and breaks out even though I'm 59. Feels nourishing yet light on my skin, I would even say it's healing! My skin definitely looks refreshed in the morning. I don't believe in spending a lot on products, and while this is a little more expensive than a drugstore brand, it's completely worth the cost and at the "affordable" end of moisturizers.

I like to keep my skin care routine as simple as possible (and cost effective too). Having heard of Ahava products with dead sea ingredients, I thought I'd give this sleep cream a try. It has a lovely density that doesn't glomp off your fingertip or palm onto the vanity while applying, yet it's light and non-greasy and smells faintly of the ocean. After 3 weeks of use, I would have to say my morning face is as expected: somewhat revitalized and "fresh." No dry patches or irritation. This will most likely become my new nighttime regime, and will definitely try other Ahava products. Very happy with this product.

So glad I purchased! Seeing results in only a few days. Highly recommend!
