Intensive Anti-Wrinkle and Anti-Aging Treatment Facial Lift Skin Care Formula Cream, 1.5 Ounce

I always read reviews prior to buying skin-care products but oddly, all of the reviews were on amazon. I cannot find 'bel essence' in stores and the label looks a bit home-made. That said, there were a ton of positive reviews through amazon and some customers said they use it after rolling their skin with a dermaroller (I bought one too) so I ordered it. I'm in my early 30s and don't have much in the way of wrinkles but I'm sure to put lotion or cream on my face every night and each morning because I don't WANT wrinkles. I do have a few on my forehead from raising my eyebrows. I use this cream at night and it is extremely thick. A little goes a long way (which is fantastic) and it smells really nice -- kind of 'nutty'. If you look at the ingredients you'll see it's all natural which is also nice (paraben free). I wanted to wait a little while before writing a review and I never know if some results are psychosomatic which is why I didn't want to review the cream right away. Although it feels great and doesn't absorb right away -- which for me is a positive -- I'm not sure if I can tell if there's a difference. My husband says my skin looks great and I certainly haven't had any type of negative reaction which is why I'm giving this five stars. My skin FEELS great after using it and I had no problems using it right after the dermaroller. I typically don't have bad reactions to lotions except on my hands. I'm not sure what causes it - my dermatologist doesn't know - but quite a lot of creams and lotions react strongly with my hands which is why I'll occasionally try face products on them, just to see if I have a reaction. Believe it or not, my hands can tolerate Bel Essence so I'll even use it on my knuckles and on the back of my hands before bed since I can trust it. It's a little expensive but it's worth trying. I'm going to keep using it and if I do notice any change, I'll update my review. I'm wearing it now. I smell great. :)

I bought this product because the formula of my regular moisturizer changed. The new formula caused my skin to turn red and also caused a burning sensation. I have sensitive skin, so I tend to feel apprehensive about trying out new products on my face. To provide some other helpful background information, I've had to work harder to prevent clogged pores in my 30's than ever before. Whatever the reason, it's an issue. My skin is also on the dry side in the winter and normal in the summer. I recently found a bentonite clay mask for the pore issue and had clear pores for about 4 weeks before trying this product. I used a very small amount of this stuff at night for two days and then my pores started clogging up again worse than before!! Prior to the time I was using the clay mask, my pores were clogged only in the T zone. After using this cream it was all over my face. I was hoping that this stuff would work for me, but I can't use it. It will probably take another week before my face goes back to normal. That's about how long it took after I initially started using the clay mask for my pores to clear up. I am disappointed because I will have to continue my search for a facial moisturizer that works for me. Also, I looked at the seller's website and I can't return this stuff because it's been opened. I have essentially thrown money away just to have my face ruined for about a week and I have a full jar of stuff I can't use. I would not recommend this product if clogged pores are an issue for you.

I'm a 31 year old male. One Sunday at church, my friend was laughing and I noticed lines around his eyes. He's 29. At that moment, I realized I needed to try and prolong my youthful appearance for as long as possible. I bought some Clarin's Double Serum. It's expensive. I used that for a while and liked the results. I used about a bottle of that a month for around five months. Again, it's expensive. Decided to try this out because of the reviews and the cost. Best decision I've made in a while. The seller set me up with a promotional free bottle after my first bottle too. No hoops to jump through, just solid customer service. I have sensitive, oily skin. Teenage acne scars. I'm hesitant to put moisturizing products on my face because of my oily skin. I don't want acne either. At first, I thought this would make my skin more oily. So I tried a little bit at a time. It doesn't make my skin more oily or shiny. I don't know how, but it doesn't. It absorbs the oil and shine on my face somehow. I use it in the morning before work, sometimes after work when I wash my face and then right before bed. Seriously, it works better than Clarin's Double Serum. It doesn't have an overpowering smell. It's pretty much odorless in my opinion. It makes my skin look bright and healthy. Not all old and worn out. Doesn't make my skin feel oily at all. I've been using it for a few weeks and I can definitely notice a difference in the way my skin feels. It feels very smooth and soft. It's a solid product and for the price, it's absolutely worth it. If you buy it from the same seller I bought it from, all the better. I don't write reviews too often, so I hope this review helps you with your purchase. If you suffer from acne, look into pantothenic acid.

Skin Type: Fair to Medium, normal to dry in places (T-zone dryness) Wrinkles: Mild forehead wrinkles, furrows (between eyebrows) are moderate, very mild crows feet. None anywhere else. Nonsmoker. Duration of Use: One month on an average of once per day (sometimes twice) No negative side effects (rash, breakout, etc.) Opinion: It goes on smoothly, but feels a little greasy. A little goes a long way. There is a faint vanilla smell that is pleasant. It does absorb quickly. After using regularly for a month I see no difference in wrinkle appearance and very little improvement in skin dryness. I cannot justify buying this again for this price when Aveeno Daily Moisturizer works just as well, or maybe even better. I'm not saying its 'junk' because it appears to be of some quality. However, too expensive for a moisturizer that is just as good as something else for half the price. As mentioned, I see absolutely no improvement in wrinkle appearance and mine aren't even all that bad or noticeable. I won't buy this again but will use what's left as it does have a pleasant smell and leaves skin feeling smooth.

I have purchased literally hundreds of products from Amazon over the years, and this is the first one that I have felt compelled to review. My favorite thing about this product aside from the results (which I promise you will see,) is the absolutely incredible smell. It's the softest, gentlest, most inoffensive vanilla I've ever smelled, and I would wear it as a daily fragrance in a heartbeat. It's not sticky-sweet or too gourmand, nor is it too sterile and clean. Just an absolutely lovely gentle soft smell that makes me think of falling into a feather pillow at the end of a long day. The cream has the texture of heavy whipping cream, and is an absolute joy to apply. I just purchased it 2 weeks ago, and have since been using it every day to follow AHA/vitamin C serum in the AM and retinol in the PM. I could not gush more about how much my skin has improved in texture, elasticity, evenness of complexion, smoothness, softness, youthfulness... I am only 23, but am an engineering student at the most prestigious public university in my country; I sleep maybe 30 hours a week and don't have time to take care of myself, so my skin is an absolute nightmare. Not only do I have deep sunken undereye circles and sebacious filaments all over my nose and cheeks, but the sort of undereye wrinkles, laugh lines, facial sagging, and visible undereye veins (!!) that I see in people in their late 30s. Prior to trying this product, I was seriously considering eyelid/undereye surgery after graduation so that I could enjoy at least a few years of youthful beauty before my 30s. I used to be afraid of cameras to the point that I wouldn't use face-unlock on my phone because seeing the enormous pores and deep shadows on my face was too depressing. I could have been a poster child for a cautionary tale of what happens to neglected skin in a high-stress lifestyle, but even over just two weeks I have hope that I won't have to resort to surgery any longer. I could not gush more about this cream and what it has done for me. I will try to find a picture of how my skin used to look (might be difficult, I avoided cameras out of humiliation) and upload progress pictures. If there's any chance I can sway the prematurely aged to give this cream a shot, I feel obligated. :) 5 stars, absolutely heavenly smell, a treat that I look forward to applying at the end of my skincare routine. Not greasy under makeup, which is excellent if you (like me) prefer liquid eyeliners.
