Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog! And today I will be reviewing Elizavecca's EGF Elastic Retinol Cream that was kindly sent to me by the company. Nowadays, I am particularly interested in anti-aging skincare so receiving this was especially exciting for me!^^
First off, for those of your who are not familiar with the benefits of Retinol should know that this is an anti aging skincare ESSENTIAL! Retinol is basically Vitamin A which is an essential ingredient to preventing and transforming premature aging and visible signs of wrinkles. Due to the chaos of everyday life our skin has to go through day after day, Retinol has been proven to help improve uneven skin tone, smooth and refine the skin's surface as well as reduce pores! Since the cream includes this anti aging ingredient, the product therefore sounds super promising to me!
The product itself comes in this pretty yellow/orange packaging with the renowned piggy on the label (super cute!) and the cream is very thick and "elastic like" (due to the EGF & Gold Nest Extracts also included in the cream) EGF or Epidermal Growth Factor aids in the stimulation of new cell production and brings back collagen production to your skin- making it firmer and youthful looking.
Another key ingredient included in the cream is the "Gold Nest Extract" which promotes anti aging by activating stem cells and cell rejuvenation to your skin. The consistency of the cream itself once applied to the skin is slightly sticky and requires a bit of patting into the skin for it to be totally absorbed. But once absorbed, you can feel your skin "firming" up quite fast! My skin felt very plump and refreshed even after trying it out the first time. As for the smell, it smells like most other creams very flowery and slightly strong for a face cream.
This cream is recommended for night use only since it contains Retinol (Retinol breaks down in the presence of sunlight). However, you can use it during the day too if you wish..just make sure to put on sunscreen and wear a hate when you go out!! Try to avoid direct sunlight :) I will be doing a follow up blog post on how well this cream worked for me after a month or so.. So please be sure to check right back here! But for the value and price.. I think this cream worth a try! 👍🏻 For a more comprehensive and detailed review please don't forget to check out my full video review on this amazing product :)
