Anti-aging Face Cream - Perfective Ceuticals Divine Age Guardian Cream with Growth Factor (With Retinol)

I've used the Divine Age Guardian Cream every day for a month, and, wow, what a difference in my skin. To be honest, I never expected that a moisturizing cream, even one as pricey as this, could make much of an impact on the texture of my skin; I had used a different brand of moisturizer every day, so I expected this one to subsitute for that, perhaps with a more penetrating moisturizer. But this cream, when combined with the Divine Age Guardian serum and eye cream, did much more. My face not only feels softer, but the skin looks more supple. No, it did not erase the lines already there -- it's not plastic surgery after all and I *am* in my early fifties. It did restore some elasticity and made my facial skin look less thin, however. For that, I'm sticking with this cream.Although the cream is somewhat thick, as creams tend to be, it doesn't leave a greasy look or feel. My skin pretty much sucks it up right away. I can put on make-up right away. I noticed a difference in feel in a couple of days, and the appearance changes occurred after about a week of application, maxxing out around three weeks. I used the cream for twice a day for the first two weeks, then used it sometimes only once a day since I need a moisturizer with sunscreen when I am going to be outside during the day. A Perfective Ceuticals anti-aging cream with SPF 15 would be perfect! The once-a-day application doesn't seem to diminish the results already there; however, I recommend starting out twice a day because the results might be more astonishing.This cream contains epidermal growth factor, something consumers should be aware of in case they have any concerns. Although this cream contains something called "beefsteak extract," this is a plant extract, not a meat product despite the name. I have sensitive skin, and I had no reactions to this product, not even a break-in breakout.I really, really love this cream and its results.

Very gentle soft cream. Pleaser you use. Not the best one.

I was very disappointed with this. With all the great reviews and the cost I thought it had to be good. It did nothing for my skin! Plus it has Paraben in its ingredients which is a Carcinogen!

Sorry, but I was simply not impressed. The design is lovely, the price is not, and I gave it to one of my daughters-in-law to try. She has dry skin on her legs. She diligently applied the Perfective Ceuticals cream to one leg, and a very inexpensive honey cream to the other. After a couple of weeks, she told me that the honey cream was MUCH better than this one.That was quite a revelation, given all of the positive reviews on the Perfective Ceuticals cream. Hence, we cannot recommend it, nor will we be purchasing it again. Our wallets and our skin, will thank us!

This is a very nice product but it had one major downside for me: It has a distinct feminine smell to it, which isn't so good if you're a man like me :-) The first day that I put it on, my wife asked me why I smelled like a woman. I told her about this skin creme and her response was, "You've got to try something else because I don't want my husband smelling like my mother." I'd love to continue using it, but there's no way I can with feedback like that. Even if you're a woman, you should be aware that the scent lingers for hours after you've applied the product, so you really need to like the way it smells to use this over the long term.

This is going to be a bit of an usual review, I bet. I bought this cream for my wife. She's hitting 45 in December and had, in my opinion, been noticing things that aren't there. It started in June and she would stare in the mirror and become critical. She'd ask me whether I noticed the latest wrinkle and honestly? I never saw the first one, so I wasn't sure how to answer. It's a tough position for a husband because I don't want her to think she's crazy, but none of that is really important to me. I love her and I think she's as beautiful as the day I met her almost 16 years ago. But bear in mind that I am a man; we're kind of clueless in these areas. However, to make her feel better, I asked some of her friends and my sisters what I could do to make her feel better. Two of them recommended this cream. I know my wife is really into natural things and doesn't even wear make up, so I had to be careful with anything I was going to give her. It had to contain natural ingredients and not have her feeling like she was wearing a cosmetic. This was a lot to ask of something that calls itself an anti-aging cream.Well something really strange happened. Even though I had never noticed anything different about her face and had seriously wondered whether she was seeing stuff that just didn't exist, her complexion looks so much smoother and finer than it did before. It's not something I can put into words. I still can't see any wrinkles; I never did, but she looks more, and I am not sure what the word is, brighter and cheerier than she did before she began using this Perfective Ceuticals stuff. I even took out a photo of her from a year ago and she looks better. Her face isn't puffy any more and her skin is smoother. I can't exactly explain it, but whatever it is, I notice a difference and so does she, which really is all that matters. I have always told her, if she's happy than I am happy.
