Review of Juice Beauty Green Repair Moisturizer
By Gill M
Packaging: This full size (50ml) moisturiser comes in a transparent plastic pump jar in a cardboard box made from 100% recycled fibre. The box is mostly white with dark grey and black text and a green “juice Beauty” apple logo on the front. The back panel of the box is the same green colour with white, grey and black text. Most of the text on the pump is clear easy to read. However the list of ingredients on the pump is in a smaller font size and I found it just a little too small to be easy to read (although that may be my eyesight!). Having said that, the list is repeated on the box as well, in a larger size which is much easier to read. Packaging is simple, attractive and functional.
Application: Juice Beauty Green Apple Repair Moisturizer is a daily moisturiser for normal, dry and mature skin. It can also be used nightly for optimum results. According to the instructions, warm it in the palms of your hands before smoothing over face, neck and décolleté.
Ingredients: This antioxidant-rich cream features a brightening hydroxyl acid (a brightening complex of organic apple, lemon and raw cane sugar) to improve skin tone and texture, help smooth fine lines and help repair damaged skin. Also contains powerful age-defying peptides, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin antioxidants to help rejuvenate the skin for a radiant complexion which most Juice Beauty Products Contain.
It does not contain parabens, propylene or butylene glycols, petroleum, sulphates, PEGs, TEA,DEA, phthalates, GMO, silicones, pesticides, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances. Juice Beauty adhere to a strict no animal testing policy and a 100% vegetarian ingredients policy. The organic ingredients are marked with an asterisk in the ingredients list. Ninety five per cent of the ingredients are organic - certified by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved agency. The moisturiser should be used within 18 months of opening.
Results: I’ve been using this Apple Repair Moisturizer morning and night for over three weeks now. It is a light but hydrating moisturiser, which thankfully doesn’t take long to sink into my skin. (I wear a powder mineral foundation and need a moisturiser to be absorbed completely before putting it on.) My skin is sensitive, but also quite dry in places so I found this moisturiser didn’t really work as a night cream for me – my skin needs a richer moisturiser. However, as a day cream it was lovely.
The Green Apple Repair Moisturiser has a fresh fragrance when used - I wasn’t sure about the fragrance to begin with, but it has really grown on me. I would definitely recommend it.
Pros:
Suitable for various skin types.
hydrating and easily absorbed.
It does not aggravate my sensitive skin.
Personally I prefer pump dispensers to jars – I feel they are more hygienic than putting my finger in a jar every day!
Natural fragrance.
Cons:
Made in the USA – therefore I’m concerned about the carbon footprint and air miles. Could use a British organic moisturiser e.g. PAI skincare.
Quite expensive, but you do get 50ml in a normal jar. A lot of other moisturisers are cheaper, but you get less for your money.
