Trevarno Organic Day Cream


Review of Trevarno Organic Day Cream

By Sally S.

What a gorgeous little pot! Bright pink glass with an aluminium lid, it looked like a little gem even before I got to the Trevarno day cream inside. It is a 30ml jar which may seem a little on the small side but then I noticed the product only has a 4 month life once opened and a best before date too. Rather than this putting me off, it filled me with glee to think that these creams are handmade in small batches in Cornwall with no artificial preservatives or nasties. In fact the ingredients list is beautifully simple. The fresh slightly floral fragrance came from the Geranium, Lavender and Palma Rosa oils. I noticed the smell when I first applied the Trevarno cream but it did not linger during the day.

The Trevarno Organic Day Cream is described as suitable for all skin types and great as a make up base. I have to admit to being a little nervous at this point as my experience of all ‘skin type creams’ has not been a positive. My skin is slightly combination and can get over loaded and congested, with many products leading to it shining by mid-day.

Applying a small amount of the thick, fragrant cream to my neck first I found it absorbed in a few strokes, I was happily encouraged by this and ventured some on my face. Within a few seconds it had absorbed in leaving my skin hydrated and dewy.

I knew the real test would be its performance once I had applied my foundation. My make up glided on effortlessly, blending in far better than without a base. By the end of the day my skin still had a soft sheen.

I already use the Trevarno Lavender and Geranium Soap in the morning and know of the great quality of their products and now I am a convert to ‘all skin type’ creams, well this one at least.

The Trevarno Organic Day Cream (10.13 30ml) and other Trevarno products are available from Naturisimo.com
