My skin is rubbish at the moment. It’s not spotty or has an uneven skin tone, it’s just tired! Lacklustre and a little bit dull is how I would describe it. Hay fever has hit me hard from the outside in and my face is showing it. So I decided to head into my skincare stash and give Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep Overnight Facial Cream a go hoping for some kind of result. Gifted to me by a friend, this would normally cost £12.00 for 10ml.
Why did I use this?
I’ve used a few products from Neom including their Uplifting Hand Balm. There’s a sense of quality from the products I’ve used. They serve a purpose, but do you know what else they do? Pamper! They pamper, thanks to their fragrances and textures and this is what I needed. Something to give my skin a quick fix but also to enjoy using this product at the same time.
What is this supposed to do?
This is designed to be an overnight facial in cream form. The skin should be left feeling and looking moisturised, revitalise tired looking skin thanks to it containing ingredients such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid and cica.
Packaging
Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep Overnight Facial Cream comes in a bigger size so packaging may vary. But this 10ml size comes in a small, screw top plastic tube. Cream in colour, simple yet very elegant in design like the rest of the products from this brand. It screams luxury to me.
Ingredients
Ingredients include cica, ceramide, magnesium, aloe vera, rosehip oil and basbussa oil.
Fragrance & Texture
The first thing I get is lavender. It’s prominent but not too strong. There’s a plant like smell to this overall but more aromatherapy like rather than foliage. It’s pleasant, but not for those who don’t like lavender.
Texture is typical cream like. Off white in colour, smooth and with a decent thickness to it.
How to use
Use this like any other night time cream, over cleansed skin. Ideally Neom suggest to use this in conjunction with their facial oil.
In Use
I used about a finger tip’s worth of Overnight Facial Cream, and lightly rubbed it in. It rubbed in so easily and my skin literally drunk it up! It had a slight waxy feel to it and it felt a little thicker than a day cream which I liked. My skin felt moisturised and protected, but the cream wasn’t heavy on the skin and didn’t leave me shiny.
The fragrance was to die for! Before I applied this I breathed in the fragrance which made using this enjoyable. What I did notice though was the fragrance didn’t linger on my skin. It was there but not overpowering.
The morning after night before
I looked at my skin the next day and I can honestly say it looked better. It looked fresher and smoother. I ignored my eye area (my eyes still look like death!) but the rest of my skin looked really good. I’m really good at moisturising so most of the time I will wake up and my skin is rarely dry. My skin after using this was the same as usual. Normal, matt but just looked a little better compared to other mornings.
Recommended?
As a product, this did EXACTLY what it was meant to do. My skin looked fresher and better after use. But what was equally as good was how much I enjoyed using this! It took seconds to apply this, but the texture and the fragrance gave me a few seconds of pampering. Would I recommend this? Oh yes…love it! BUT let’s not ignore the fact this isn’t a cheap product. 10ml is £12.00 and 50ml is £44 so not budget friendly but a total treat for the skin. If I purchased this myself, I would keep an eye out for special priced promotions from this brand and buy this product in a collection to save myself some money.
This can be purchased instore and online from various retailers, including direct from Neom themselves.
