Aesop

Pro: - scent - light weight - moisturising Cons: - not the best hand cream - pricey compare to the ingredients I bought this because i get stressed at work and i need something to reset myself. Smells citrus, not too sweet and it leans more towards mandarine with green grass /herbal medicines. Moisturising effect is about 3/5. Aesop’s aim is not focused in skincare, they are more focused in sensors and aroma therapy. I usually recommend the brand for people who are stressed and tired. Floral, perfumey or rose smells make me feel dizzy. I think i smell my hand every 30min and it makes me feel good ;) If you want high end but good quality hand cream i suggest chanel hand cream. They are great.

In my later 30s my skin is drying and looking very fatigued. Been looking for an ultra hydrating but not pimple inducing or pore enlarging moisturiser to compliment my Clinique Smart set and this is perfect. Tried a bunch of samples until I was sure that it did not break me out despite the heavy ingredients. My skin always looks great in the morning after putting this one and also feel super hydrated. I know because I don't wake up a big oily mess with my skin going into overdrive trying to compensate the dryness. I alternate every second night with my Clinique Smart night cream.

Couldn't figure out what was causing my skin to flake as I am trying a bunch of new things (terrible idea!) But I have now found the culprit. This cleanser just strips my sensitive dry combo skin. I have not experienced in years flakiness putting on makeup but this got me there. Very strong herbal smell too. Going through the reviews I am not the only one flaking.
