Predermine comes in a beautifully designed purple glass jar with a white lid, and the overall feeling about it is pampering and luxurious. Upon opening the pot, I got that immediate sense of treating my skin with Parisian skincare at its finest.
The cream itself is rich and nourishing but does not leave the skin greasy, and the smell of it is floral.

Note. I received this product complimentary from Octoly and Darphin Germany. All opinions are 100% my own, and I take my reviews seriously.
Its always great to discover new products and get an honest opinion about it, especially if it is expensive to buy.
ReplyDeleteAhh this sounds good but the smell might put me off too, I like a gently smelling cream, especially on my face!
ReplyDeleteSeems a promising product in the way that it does not leaves ant grease after and gets absorbed by skin. Also great that it is Non-comedogenic.
ReplyDeleteMmm, this one sounds okay but not ideal. I like fragrances but sometimes fragrances don't like me (as in skin allergies). So in general I try to avoid those facial products that include fragrances unless perhaps they are from organic essential oils. Some other ladies might like this night cream though.
ReplyDeleteI am a major Darphin fan, all of their products are amazing and feel glorious on your skin.
ReplyDeleteGreat review, I like that you give your honest opinion on the product. Not something I am in the market for but but I am always sharing posts like this with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteHmm interesting! Sounds like it might be a worthwhile purchase. It's good to know what kind of creams people like because I'm always so lost in that area!
ReplyDeleteThis product looks great and what I love the most is that it's cruelty free. It's very difficult to find a product that works and is not tested on animals and Darphin seem to be offering that. Will check it out for sure. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDo drop by my blog as well : http://styleovercoffee.com :)
