Q+A Snow Algae Intensive Face Cream, Helps to Renew and Replenish your Complexion 50g

A nice thick face cream which provides great hydration for dry skin. I use this after my retinol cream to get some moisture going. A little goes a long way. No particular scent. Cannot say I've noticed an improvement in my wrinkles - but I don't expect miracles.

Designed with dry skin in mind, this Q+A Snow Algae Intensive Face Cream made in the UK is thicker than any other moisturiser I've used and claims to be suitable as a day or night cream. It will work for other skin types - all except for oily - and the formula is 98.4% natural.I'm using it as a day cream and finding it good. Not too much is needed. I applied it after a facial serum and before a primer. It absorbed well and quickly and felt hydrating on the skin.My go to day cream is 'intense'. It's more than twice the price of this one - but it does include SPF15. I would prefer Q+A Face Cream to contain SPF but some foundations I use have it in so I can get around this - especially as this Q+A cream features snow algae which promotes the growth of collagen to slow the ageing process. The cream also creates a barrier on the surface of the skin which keeps it hydrated.The packaging here is good too. The product arrives in an amber glass recyclable jar - which should limit its exposure to sunlight - inside a recyclable branded carton. Despite it containing the same 50g as my regular day cream, this jar is rather smaller in size - no fancy packaging designed to look like you're getting more for your money. All ingredients are clearly listed on the pack.I like the clarity around the ingredients, the fact that this face cream is made in the UK, its hydrating properties - and its eco friendly ingredients and packaging. Perhaps even more I like the price. For £12 at time of writing this is a very good product indeed.

I use this overnight only as, even though it feels initially dry, after some time it becomes a little oily, and I don't like the feeling of having to wipe or clear off "excess" product off my face.I like the effect it has on my skin.

First impressions of this face cream were good, it comes in nice packaging and is a standard size (50g). I like how it has a little tick chart on the label to show what it does and doesn’t help with and the skin types it is and isn’t suitable for (spoiler alert - not recommended for oily skin and doesn’t help to minimise pores).I have mixed feelings about the product itself, it has the same look, smell and texture as nappy rash cream which puts me off a little. It’s also a bit too thick for my preference but does absorb into the skin well and my make up goes over it with no issues. It’s worth noting it’s water based so should be paired with water based foundation.Results wise unfortunately in all honestly I’ve seen no improvements to my skin, I’ve actually been catching myself in the mirror and noticing my wrinkles more and feeling my skin looks more haggard than normal.Overall due to not seeing any results or improvements to my skin I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this. However if you just want a fairly cheap cream to prep your skin for make up this could be a good option.

I knew I'm trying an intensive cream but this one looks like it's a really strong and intense one.Comes in a nice jar, actually like many other creams. A pretty thick consistency but that wasn't a problem. Sometimes when my skin is exposed for too long on wind or sun, as it happened several times this summer, this cream helped to recover after a couple of uses.The scent is not strong, a discreet and pretty neutral one. Although it had a note of an unusual smell for me, it wasn't unpleasant, got used with it after. The Use by date was all good, 12 months after first opened.The price is about £12 and that's ok, considering the fact that the cream was doing very good in regeneration after different bad exposures.I really haven't got issues with it, it's my heavy weapon to fight deteriorated skin and it still works for me.

This comes in a simple outer box in blue and white. Inside the cream is in a brown glass screw-top jar. I like jars as there is no waste of product and the fact it is glass means it is fully recyclable.It is quite a thick cream and doesn't really have much of a scent. There is a subtle smell but not one that is really remarkable.It is a rich cream and feels very moisturising on my skin yet not heavy or sticky at all.Once I have applied the cream it sinks into my skin and if I touch my skin it feels smooth and nice to touch.I like that this is almost all natural - not sure why it can't be 100% but still.I love that this is made in England as I like to buy British when I can and it means its carbon footprint is less too.It is cruelty free and vegan friendly.It is best for stressed, dry, sensitive and combination skins but a bit rich for oily skins.It has anti aging ingredients and helps to sooth and moisturise.I think this is a very fair price for a high quality product

It destroyed my fine lines! I've been using this for 2 months now and I no longer have fine lines at the corners of eyes. This thick creamy formula deeply nourishes skin from the inside out. My skin drinks it in. No fragrance, fantastic for sensitive and mature skin. It has reduced the laugh and howl lines that were deeply seated on my face. This is a product all my girlfriends are getting in their Christmas bag. I recommend this every time someone compliments my skin. I rave about this. Affordable, feels amazing and has nice, visible results. Huge value.

Nice face cream. What i like about it is, that it moisturizes my face real good and is smooth. Since using it for awhile now i haven't seen nothing too much happening but i do like the way it keeps my face feeling good and moisturized instead of how dry it use to be so that works for me, i guess that's a good thing and for me to continue to use it which i will.

I typically really enjoy Q&A products and this one is no different! Comes in a small container and has almost a light ‘whipped’ feel - a little goes a long way! Considering it’s to apply around the eyes, this is perfect so that it’s not extremely heavy. I live in a high altitude, dry climate so keeping my skin moisturized is incredibly challenging during the winter/early spring with cold air especially. I look forward to having this in my skin care routine to help beat the dryness over this upcoming season.

My skin is very dry and I am not tretinion so that just makes my skin even more dry and flaky. This did help is making my skin soft and not flaky which I love. Since it is so moisturizing I would not use for oily skin because it would be too much. How I dont know how this product would help your pores look smaller but everything else it states I would say this product would help. So far I just use it at night to sleep.

This is a really nice, fluffy-creamy moisturizing cream that hydrates with a fairly temporary effect. I've noticed no cumulative effect on my skin but it does a good job as a moisturizer.
