This night cream was gifted to me for testing purposes. I rarely used night creams anymore as I tend to stay up late and forget. I went out of my way to use this and I haven't regretted it. As with the other two products I have tried so far from Temple Spa, tocopherol (vitamin E) has been incorporated into the product to protect the skin from free radicals, this is of huge importance so I am very excited to see a brand using it frequently. An interesting ingredient that I noticed was jojoba oil which appears to work in a similar way to a popular ingredient known as hyaluronic acid. Jojoba oil (also used to improve spreadability, but we won't go too into that} helps to reduce water loss whilst allowing for the intake of water at the same time, meaning it will leave the skin more supple overall. The scent is strong but beautiful, I always associate lavender with sleep, it's just one of those relaxing scents and this night cream has really helped me to drift off into a deep sleep each night. What I love about this product is that even though it is a night cream, it doesn't feel too heavy once it has settled into the skin. When I wake up in the morning my skin always feels soft and refreshed ready for whatever the day ahead brings. Now for the random test I did. After noticing the consistency of the cream, I thought to myself, ' I wonder if this will work as a primer'. I will happily report back, that I have been using the repose night cream as a primer all week and it has helped to make my foundation (Maybelline Superstay 24H foundation) sit perfectly on my skin for a long period of time. A product that can be used for multiple purposes is always high up in my books. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a night cream and also happen to be looking for a decent primer!
