Dr Nick Lowe - Super Charged SPF 15 Day Cream

I know a lot of you might think, why am I using an anti-ageing cream when I'm only in my early 20's.. but at some stage you have to consider when the best time actually is to start diving into those anti-aging products.. surely its not when you have already developed those wrinkles?? So I've decided to use more anti-ageing products as a preventive measure.

 Dr Nick Lowe is a world renowned dermatologist and clearly knows exactly what ingredients are key to hydrate and firm the skin.
The cream contains Shea Butter, Pomegranate, Rasberry, Ferulic Acid, Vitamins A, C and E all to protect the skin against the environments sun, stress and pollution.

Its sleek white packaging looks like your 'typical' cream pot. I am sometimes a bit funny about using pots as opposed to pumps because of possible contamination, but that can't always be helped and as it is a day cream, i'll use it up quite quickly.
It doesn't have a particularly offensive smell, but has definitely been slightly scented and reminds me of suncream (which I don't really like if I had to be picky). It is very thick in consistency for a day cream in my opinion, but ones you rub it into your skin it melts away and gets soaked up very quickly. It has an SPF 15 which is useful and is said to help improve skins "resilience, tone and radiance".
So, in my opinion, this cream firms my skin, keeps it hydrated and acts as a great base for my makeup, which is an important factor needed in a day cream. I do recommend this cream to other people with dehydrated skin, but I am not sure how it would work on oily skin, as you can see from the photos its quite thick.
