Sanctuary Spa Peptide replenish night cream & Peptide protect day cream review

Sanctuary Spa Peptide replenish night cream & Peptide protect day cream review

I purchased both the day and night cream when they were on offer from Boots
Instead of the price of £20 each I managed to pay £14 per jar.

Product description Night cream

With age, skin’s structures weaken & are less able to retain moisture. This specially formulated night cream penetrates into skin while you sleep to regenerate & nourish. The active ingredient Matrixyl Synthe’6 has been clinically proven to stimulate the production of the 6 major building blocks within your skin, resulting in visible wrinkle filling & skin lifting action.
A low molecular form of hyaluronic acid visibly smoothes skin on the surface, further reducing the appearance of wrinkles to allow you & your skin to awaken with a renewed youthful glow.

How to Use

1. After cleansing, apply a generous scoop over face, neck & décolletage
Therapist’s Tip:
For drier skin, layer over or mix with the Lipid Recovery Facial Oil

My review

I used this in conjunction with the Sanctuary Serum but found using both give me quite a bad break out so if you intend to use with anything else then beware as this is a very thick cream and may clog pores if you use to much or use with other lotions/serums.

The cream is white and thick it does have a light fragrance which I don't really like as it smells a bit medical.  It rubs in ok not the best texture Ive ever felt in a cream but not the worst either.

I have nearly finished the Jar and it has lasted me months so even though its a bit dearer than others it certainly lasts a long time a little does go a long way so remember that if your a bit over generous when applying less is sometimes more.

I have to say my wrinkles aren't gone and my face hasn't suddenly firmed up but I do feel my skins in nice condition and my complexion is looking good I think long term use of this will be beneficial.

I would purchase again but probably if its reduced as otherwise there's to much temptation to try other creams for a cheaper price.

My review

It has a few different ingredients from the Night cream but I assume this is because of the SPF element in the cream it states its 20SPF and this is always good for a day cream as even a cool sunny day can be damaging on the skin. 

I'm not that keen on the day cream it feels slightly thicker and a bit harder to rub into my face once applied it looks a bit shiny which I do not like  but I guess that's the price of beauty.

 I still use it but hate the fact it takes a few hours to sink in.  I don't think they have mastered a good day cream with SPF that doesn't just look like a usual sun screen and the SPF element is not the strongest as I found out one day when I was in Blackpool and it decided to become a very hot sunny day my face burnt so I wouldn't wear it instead of a sun screen.

Its still packed with good ingredients and again I think it will have long term benefits, its not going to reverse the ageing process but I think both the day and night cream will at least help prevent future ageing.
