This is a moisturiser that helps to protect the skin barrier and for skin that is dry, suffers from some redness, sensitivity, that feels uncomfortable and not supple.  I found it useful as I get bad heat rash on my face and neck in summer months and it helped to calm it down and hydrate the skin which was dry and rough.  I now use it to seal in the rest of my skincare before I apply sunscreen during the day and as an added bonus moisture layer after my night time skin routine.

It contains Niacinamide, Squalane, Shea Butter and Glycerin all excellent skin barrier boosting ingredients.

It feels very nice and envelopes my skin in a very comforting manner.  I love it! I wish it came in a larger size with a longer expiry then six months.

I definitely recommend this product.

One glance at the ingredients list you can see that this formula contains great moisturising and replenishing ingredients such as Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Sodium Hyaluronate, Urea, Allantoin and more.  I was disappointed in the inclusion of fragrance in this product because we all know it's not necessary and not good for our skin.

The rest of the ingredients are standard fillers and emulsifiers and preservatives that most products require to have a controlled formula that doesn't separate etc.  It is housed in an airless pump tub which is great for ingredient integrity and hygiene which is beige and gold.  The price is good for 50mls, if it were 30 mls I would be side eyeing it heavily! 

The cream is white and rich but not greasy and absorbs quickly.  The fragrance is not over powering which is good.  I have combination oily skin that is 38 years old right now, and my skin loves it.  I also apply it to my hands and neck/decolletage as my last step in my night time skincare routine.

I am unsure about this brand's cruelty free status although I have a feeling it is not as they advertise it as vegan and paraben free so it would make sense if it were cruelty free that it would state that information as well. 

All in all, I do recommend this product but I would love it more if the formula omitted the fragrance.

Anti Ageing + Oxidant Silk Sheet Facial Mask is the second of the silk sheet masks from the brand Essenzza Health that I have bought and tried.  This contains some great ingredients to assist in skins appearance and overall health.  On opening you smell the rosewood oil which was lovely!  Here is some of the ingredients in this particular mask:

• Argan Oil
• Rosewood Oil
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Hydrolyzed Collagen
• Vitamin C (Asorbic Acid)
• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3

This is a 3 layer sheet mask, so on opening the sachet you pull it out and remove the first shiny layer as per instructions.  Pop it onto your face and finding the eye, nose and mouth areas and then pull off the blue layer.  You then leave it on for 20-30 minutes.

It does not dry completely on your face so do not expect that to occur.  After the allotted time, you then remove it from your face and let the product absorb into your skin over night as I did or during the day.  It does feel wet on the face and when I woke up my face was noticeably softer to the touch which is great for me as I have dry skin and also my skin looked brighter thanks to the Vitamin C.

I definitely would buy this mask again out of the three that Essenzza Health sell.  The other two masks are:

• Moisturise & Smooth Carrot Seed + Coconut
• Cleanse & Exfoliate Citrus + Pineapple Enzyme
