What a decadent treat for my skin! This thick, hydrating cream made my skin feel extremely soft & supple in the morning, after I had applied before bed.

This cream is extremely thick, so I only need a small amount each time. Note: Start with less and add more if you need it, as I noticed that when I put too much on at first it actually made my skin greasy. It’s also very important that you warm it up in your hands before you apply it or else it won't spread on the skin.

I also loved the fragrance, which was a very unique tea type of scent (like Earl Grey!). The results of using this week after week were just fantastic. I found that it gave my skin the type of intense hydration it needed, while also plumping and soothing my skin. I also got a lovely glow to my skin, and did not irritate my more oily parts in the t zone. I looked forward to my nightly cleansing ritual because I felt like I was really pampering myself with this crème. Only a tiny bit of Creme Ancienne is needed, so this luxury product really does pay for itself as it will last for at least 6 - 8+ months, if not more. On drier/colder days I would also use this as a day cream under my makeup and despite its really thick texture, it soaked in beautifully. This is the most amazing skin care product that Fresh has ever created. (via Palacinka)

Monks actually make this product in an European Monastery (although trying to find out where, seems to be a bit tough). Earlier this year someone gifted me this most amazing cream. I got it from a work giveaway and had to fight a few interns for it. My face has never been happier, I don't use it on a regular basis, because it's such a powerful hydrating cream. I moisturize when I go out for the evening and my friends have actually commented that my skin looks great after I've used this cream. The usual comment, being. "You look so much better, I can't tell why." It's well worth the investment and lasts for a very long time, it's also instantly healing and has done wonders for my tired and worn skin. I've recently started paying close attention to it and really think this product is worth the price. I'll buy it when it runs out. I'm saving my pennies.
