Today I
bring you a much overdue review of one of my favorite new skincare item: the
Innisfree Orchid Enriched Cream. I am usually more of a lotion or gel-cream
kind of girl, but this product is so lovely that I could not resist purchasing
the full size after using up my sample.
Basically
this is an anti-aging cream that claims to have five different effects to
combat visible signs of ageing. The antioxidants in the orchid extract will help
smooth wrinkles, firm, brighten and nourish the skin while also tightening your
pores. The claims are pretty big, but I found that this cream performs really
well.
The cream
is a bit rich (hence the name) but it melts into your hands once you warm it up
and it applies easily. I have combination skin so, it is a bit much too use in
the morning when the weather is warmer because it takes a while to fully
penetrate. So right now I only use it at night, but in the winter it was lovely
to use in the morning as well. If your skin is on the dryer side, I think you
could use it twice a day without any problem. Innisfree offers a gel cream
version (here), which would probably be better suited for this season. I am
quite tempted to get a jar myself once I finish up other moisturizers.
Now let’s
talk about the results I experienced with the Orchid Enriched Cream. I am not
at an age where wrinkles are an issue, but the moisturizing and nourishing
effects of this cream are so amazing that I am sure they can help minimize the
appearance of fine and dehydration lines. I also noticed that my skin looked
brighter and felt more plumped in the morning. As for the pore tightening
effects, I did not notice any, but the texture of my skin was more refined and any
inflammation was soothed.
I was very
impressed by this cream, the texture is great and it feels lush when you apply
it. The light floral orchid scent is divine, turning my skincare routine in a
relaxing spa-like experience. I will for sure try other products from the range
(here) and I believe most would enjoy using this product and see positive
results.
