With so many expensive moisturizers on the market, I was surprised to find the Dr Hauschka Moisturizing Day Cream at a reasonable price and to see that it was getting so many compliments from other users. With over forty years of experience in the skin care industry, Dr Hauschka Cosmetics is focused on creating a line of natural skin enhancers that bring added beauty to existing skin. Noticing the excellent price and the large number of positive comments surrounding the cream, I decided to give it a try. The cream will be evaluated to see if it balances the moisture content of the skin and whether or not it adds a hint of color to my pale skin, which are two of the main claims made by the creators.
During this two-week evaluation, the first test will be to see how well Dr Hauschka Moisturizing Day Cream works to balance the overall moisture content of my face. The active ingredients in this product, such as apricot kernel oil and witch hazel, are claimed to aid in this process. The application of the product was carried out daily in the morning, allowing the cream to be absorbed on the freshly cleansed skin. After doing it for a period of two weeks, my normally oily skin seemed to have decreased its oil production. My face feels hydrated throughout the day without getting greasy in the last few hours.
The second claim from the creators of Dr Hauschka Moisturizing Cream is that it helps stimulate blood flow to the skin, giving the face a more rosy, vibrant tone. While the first claim was observed over a two week period, this claim did not take the same amount of time to assess. After the first application, I waited several minutes to see if the sweet almond, olive, and carrot oils were working their magic by stimulating blood flow, but I didn’t see any results. It was only after looking in the mirror a couple of hours later that I noticed that my skin was more alive and seemed to have better blood flow to the entire facial area.
With the claims for this product up to the test of reality, it is now safe to discuss some minor concerns with the product. The combination of ingredients may cause initial irritation when applied to sensitive skin as it stimulates blood flow, creating a “puffing” effect. While I didn’t have any issues with this lotion, others may want to consider and account for a temporary period of skin irritation.
Any good moisturizer has its secrets as to how it works. What specific ingredients give this day cream such power? There are a couple of culprits, including:
* Jojoba Oil – Used in many high-end moisturizers, jojoba oil provides the skin with natural moisture that mimics the body’s oils, signaling the skin to balance production.
* Almond oil: softens and increases the skin’s moisture absorption capacity.
* Apricot Kernel Oil – Provides an extra boost to the skin by softening it and also provides basic essential peptides and molecules needed for skin health.
For those looking for more vibrant skin with balanced hydration, this product certainly provides those benefits. This cream is excellent for young and middle-aged skin and is a wonderful solution with natural ingredients. At just $60 for a 3.4 oz container, you’re assured of getting months of use from this moisturizer. If a quality moisturizer at a reasonable price has been on your wish list or someone you know, consider choosing Dr Hauschka Moisturizing Day Cream and make a little magic happen for your dry, damaged skin!
