Repair Night Cream NAC Y2, Deeply Hydrating Face Cream, 1.69 fl oz | Reinforces Skin Barrier, Helps Fight Free Radicals & Address Early Signs of Aging

Update! I have used this product consistently for the four weeks that I should take to notice a difference. There is a small lessening of fine lines. To me, there isnt enough of a difference that I would get this product again. I still have a lot of product left so I may be back with periodic updates, especially if my impression changes ove a longer time. I ordered the 111SKIN Repair Night Cream NAC Y2 (1.69 fl oz). The product came in a giftable, easy to wrap box. There were no tamper proofing precautions taken with the product I received. There is a printed sticker with a 1/26 expiration date on it, that is 11 months away and should be ample time to use. The jar is a heavy, shimmery rose colored glass jar with a silver metal lid. After you remove the lid you will see that there is a smaller plastic insert that lifts out of the glass jar easily. The cream is in this plastic insert which, honestly cheapens the whole experience. The plastic insert is about 2/3 full of a thick white colored cream. The cream smells of roses but not chemically roses, real roses. My cream in very think and in some places looks as if it may be dehydrated...it has that crackle look that some creams will get as they dry out. I also mentioned that the plastic pot looked only 2/3 full, well there is some residue on the sides that make me wonder if it's shrunk down. Applying the cream was a nice experience. The rose scent is light and dissipates quickly (or I got used to it). The cream absorbs in very nicely, I was left feeling moisturized and not greasy. I have had no adverse effects thus far. Given the other review currently posted I researched this cream outside of Amazon so I could know what to expect. According to 111Skins website I should see results in 4 weeks. I have made a note to myself to come back and update in a month. For now I can say that this product seems like the real deal based on the research I did. But that it might be older stock based on the signs of desiccation I observed. Use is a pleasant experience but I cannot yet speak to longer term effectiveness.

Let’s talk the good, the bad, & the ugly. When a face cream is priced at nearly 300 dollars, you know it is going to be scrutinized. When I first opened this moisturizer, I never would have guessed that it was as pricey as it is. The cream has a dry, clumpy texture, very much resembling glue paste. I try to warm it up in my hands before applying, but that doesn’t work so well, so I end up having to press the clumps onto my face & rub them in to get them to spread. This alone takes the value of the cream significantly down. I do think that it provides good moisture and my skin is exhibiting a youthful glow, but for a moisturizer at this price point, I expect much much more.

The 111SKIN REPAIR NIGHT CREAM NAC Y2 is far and away the most expensive skin cream I've ever had the opportunity to try. For the price, I expected it to be impressive, and it has not disappointed. This is a soft, hydrating, medium-weight, smooth night cream that penetrates my super dry skin overnight. I wake up in the morning and make my husband feel how soft my face feels before we even get out of bed. I am always amazed at how it feels, and I do think my skin is looking a little bit younger after about 3 weeks of using it. Do I recommend it? If you can reasonably afford this, especially if you can do it without batting an eye, I think this anti-aging skin care product is worth giving a try. I won’t be ordering it again because it is definitely way above my price range. I'm glad I got to try it. I'm glad that the size is 1.67 ounces, which in the aging skincare product world is considered a pretty generous amount. I think it's important for you to know that I try lots of skin care products, especially anti-aging skin care products. They run from expensive to very inexpensive. I've tried plenty of pricey products that I didn't think were worth the price. My reviews reflect that. I've also tried excellent products that worked so well, I felt like they could easily charge more. Price does not always reflect the value of the product or how well it works. This night cream is one product that, if you can afford it, is worth the price. It's a luxury item, for sure, and I consider it to be pretty darn luxurious. I will be sad when I get to the bottom of this jar. I will then go back to using a different phenomenal night cream that I feel free to slather on liberally, because it sells for a price I consider a value and a bargain.
