Worthy of Glosscars Winner

This is my 3rd submission for this product and I will continue to re-submit until the day it wins a Glosscar.
Rarely do I praise a product so highly but this is the bomb when it comes to anti-aging moisturiser.

I won't got into all the details as you can read my previous entries for it but honestly no other product gives me skin that glows, even out skintone, plumps up the skin and reduces those fine expression lines under my eyes.

Honestly if you try it you will love it - the only thing you will not like is the hefty price and if you can look past that, then you will fall in love with it as well.

I can't believe this hasn't won a glosscars yet - it is brilliant!!

Please, please, please let this fantastic product win a coveted Glosscar as it is the BEST moisturiser I have ever used.

I have been using Elizabeth Arden products since I was a child so have always followed the brand and have loved keeping up with the developments of new products etc and was thrilled to be included in a trial team last year to try their latest products - the Prevage Day Ultra Protection Anti-aging moisturiser with sunscreens and the matching serum.

As you will read below from my original review I absolutely loved it and I really hope that it wins a Glosscar this time as this is my third review for it.

I am absolutely devastated as I have just finished both my serum and moisturiser and I can't live without it. I am going to have to rush out and re-purchase as it truly is the best combination of skin care that I have used. My skin has never looked as good as it does at the moment and I have had numerous people comment on how good it looks. That is great at the age of almost 42!!

It is an expensive habit to get into but I believe that it is well worth the investment as I don't frequent beauty therapists (I don't like sitting still for that long) and consider that what I save on treatments I can spend on this range of skin care.

See below for my original review as I don't think that I can add anything further other than 4 months on I have continued to LOVE this products and am definitely re-purchasing.

Elizabeth Arden's Prevage Day Ultra Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Sunscreens is one of the most beautiful moisturisers that I have tried - and I have tried alot!

After doing a patch test for the recommended 3 days I started using this moisturiser which is a gorgeous orange colour with very little fragrance but has a hint of citrus. It is a beautiful texture which almost melts into your skin and you only need a pea sized amount to cover your whole face.

Prior to using this I had been using another moisturiser which I was not happy with and my skin was dehydrated and was crying out for moisture. Within a day of using the product I was seeing results and I continue to see results 3 weeks after starting this new regime.

My pores have reduced, my skin looks plumped and my fine lines have definitely decreased. I have 2 frown lines between my eyes which I am very conscious of and they are showing signs of improvement which I am absolutely delighted with.

I have also found that my makeup stays in place all day without the use of my usual primer. I have had no need to touch up during the day which has been liberating!!

This moisturiser is best used in conjunction with the recommended serum and if these products are within your budget you should really try them as I am sure that you will get similar results.

I challenge you to find a better moisturiser on the market (glosscars resubmition)

I submitted a review for this back in November; however, in all my life of beauty using/testing/obsessing I have not come across a better moisturiser, therefore I am resubmitting the review so hopefully it can win this years Glosscars best moisturiser.

This moisturiser came in a really convientent pump pack that uses airless technology so that the product doesn't get contaminated and so lasts longer. It took me a little bit of experimenting to work out but only 1 pump of product is required to moisturise the whole face.

I was dubious as to whether the one pump of moisturiser would provide sufficient SPF, however, since using the moisturiser my face hasn't gotten sunburnt although I haven't had any major sun exposure (just half an hour walking outside here and there). The SPF is more than adequate to protect you from incidental sun exposure. If you are going to be in the sun for prolonged periods then I would apply a specific suncream on top of this moisturiser.

The moisturiser has very little smell - just a faint sunscreeny smell, that is quite pleasant. The scent doesn't linger for long after application which is another plus.

The moisturiser was very easy to apply. One pump did the whole face and it melted straight into my skin. It was't even slightly oily and it left my skin with a gorgeous sheen as if it contained light reflecting particles. Initially I was using 2 pumps, then 1.5 pumps and both of these amounts left my skin looking oo shiny and feeling slightly sticky. As soon I reduced it to 1 pump it was perfect. The instructions actually said to use a pea sized amount of the product but that seemed way too little, but in actual fact it is perfect.

This moisturiser claimed to lock in moisturise to enhance the benefits of the serum - and it did exactly that. My skin looks plump and rehydrated.

When using this product, I would initially apply the serum then leave that for about a minute to sink in then I would apply the moisturiser. The combination left my skin satin smooth, hydrated, my fine lines became plumped out and no longer visibile and my pigmentation became much less noticible.

I would definitely buy this moisturiser again, mostly because I saw definite results with the serum and believe that this moisturiser would further enhance the actions of the serum. If you can only afford one, then the serum would probably be the one to buy due to the dramatic results it produces. However, I believe the results of the serum would be optimal if used in conjunction with the moisuriser.

6 months on: It took about 6 months for me to use up the whole bottle of moisturiser and in that time the results continued to impress. Lines that I thought were set on my face, such as the smile line from my nose to mouth or the squint line between my eyes only appear when i move that part of my face, otherwise they are not evident. The pigmentation issues I was having, especially on my forehead, have reduced so much that I am pretty much the only person who would notice them. There use to be a stark line of contrast between the pigmented skin and non pigmented skin, now there is just a vague change in colour. I have been very impressed with these results.

Glosscars Resubmission

My jaws dropped the price when I first found out its cost - $195 for 30ml is almost highway robbery. Would this product really be worth this much?

• It comes in a sleek silver airless pump style bottle that prevents oxidation of the product and is easly to use (once the pump works and starts pushing up the cream as I had problems with my first bottle and needed a replacement). I guess some of that money went to the impressive packaging.
• It contains encapsulated Idebenone that is time released to help fight free-radicals and hyaluronic acid to lock in skin moisture and keep it hydrated during the day.
• Given the price, I only use a small pump of this on each side of my face but the product spreads quite well and you can cover an entire side of the face thinly with only 1 pump.
• This has the slightly more fluid in texture than the serum ,it is very light, has the same faint fresh scent and spreads well onto skin. It leaves a slight hint of sheen immediately after use but disappears within a few minutes.
• It contains sunscreen but doesn’t list what protection factor it provides. A quick check on the US Prevage site revealed they have rated it SPF 30 overseas. I’m assuming the reason it is not listed in Australia is that although it contains sunscreen, the way we are using the product (in tiny amounts spread thinly across our face) will mean that it will not provide the stated SPF coverage and so the Australian Therapeutic Administration disallowed the rating. Personally I used a sunscreen over the product as I am weary of being unprotected and getting more pigmentation and sun damage on my face.

Results from use:
• Immediate results I saw were supple hydrated skin, especially under the eye area where I’m prone to dryness and dry patches.
• I am of normal/oily skin type and notice that my face is less greasy with the use of the cream and the serum as I’m producing less oil during the day. The hydration last throughout the day, even in dry air-conditioned office environments.
• It keeps skin well moisturised and sits well underneath makeup. It works almost like a primer to smooth down small dry patches and allow makeup to glide over it.
• In terms of reduction in fine lines or wrinkles, and discolourations, I haven’t really noticed any difference with use on its own, but definitely when used with the Prevage serum day and night, my fine lines under the eyes are less obvious, there is an increase in skin firmness and my skin definitely feels more radiant, and even in skintone. There are no changes to skin discolourations or pigmentation yet that I can see with use of either of the Prevage products.
• This day cream is great for those who have some minor sun damage or stressed skin and want to halt the onset of loss of skin elasticity as it gently resurfaces the texture of skin to return its clearer complexion.

I can’t say that I like this day cream better than the serum on its own. It is a very good moisturiser and primer but for the price, I expected it to double the results I saw with just using the serum, which I don’t believe it provided.

If money was no object, I would purchase this to use with the Prevage serum as they do go well together. But if I had to choose, my money would go to the serum and I would use a cheaper alternative moisturiser to help with maintaining hydration, provide sun protection and fight free-radicals during the day.

Glosscar Nomination- Number 1 of the 10 Wonders of the Skincare World!

This is the best moisturiser with sunscreen I have ever used! Soothed, smoothed, hydrated and fresh is the only way to describe how my skin feels after using Prevage Day Ultra Protection Anti-Ageing Moisturiser. After a three day patch test I began applying 1-2 pumps (pea-sized amount) by massaging onto my face each morning over the Prevage Face Advanced Anti-Ageing Serum. The moisturiser is housed in a compact, brushed silver tone cylinder with pump dispenser and clear lid keeping the formula fresh. It is a yellow colour, soft creamy texture and has a lovely soft, fruity scent that when applied reminds me of watermelon! The pump makes it fast and easy to use and the moisturiser absorbs nicely into skin without feeling oily or heavy. It is fresh and light on my skin and really keeps my dry sensitive skin hydrated and comfortable which I love.
Containing broad spectrum sunscreens and Prevage Idebenone it locks in moisture and protects from sun damage ithout leaving my skin feeling like its coated with heavy products. It truly is a pleasure to apply this every morning as its scent is refreshing and my skin always feels soft and hydrated. Used in combination with the Prevage Face Advanced Anti-Ageing Serum they combine to combat and diminish existing sun damage. From first use my skin felt softer and adequately hydrated after 3 months it also visibly appears less damaged with my lines much more plumped and soft, skin discolouration patches less visible. My complexion is more even and my skin feels wonderfully healthy to touch even my foundation applies more evenly which is a bonus. Best of all my skin looks better so I can go without wearing foundation and don’t feel as self conscious as I used to.
I gratefully (3months later) still use this moisturiser as it hydrates superbly, protects from sun damage and external aggressors and has a refreshing scent. It may be priced above many average moisturisers but this successfully out performs many of them and is an investment in your skins treatment regime. My moisturiser has been used daily for 3months and still has product in it. Along with the serum it enhances my skin and gives results that leave me feeling like my skin has had a total overhaul, like its erased a few years from my skin and all thanks to a moisturiser. For a fresher, radiant, smooth and glowing complexion created from an old tired ruddy one this moisturiser is a dream come true. I never thought such results could be seen from a moisturiser which is why I nominate this for a Glosscar!

Promises Delivered!

This product is almost a poisoned chalice - very easy to get hooked, but there is a sting in the price!

However, that said, it is one of those few products that really does live up to the hype, and that makes it worth paying the big dollars!

A recent release for the Prevage range, it works perfectly with companion product Prevage Face Advanced Anti-aging Serum.

Packaged in a slick silver pump packs, it looks prestigious from the outset. The apricot-hued cream is delivered hygienically and accurately via a pump mechanism. I found that a little went a long way and that one pump was enough for my entire face.

It is beautifully light, and sinks into the skin on contact. My skin looked brighter and smoother immediately, making me look fresher and giving me a glow. It hydrates the skin well, and provides a lovely base under makeup, along with sun protection.

Following months of use, these results have been sustained. The texture of my skin is looking better, more refined and less damaged. Fine lines are looking more plumped.

Using the moisturiser in combination with the serum delivers the best result, so if you can afford it, I would recommend that as the way to get the most from the product.

Prevage promises results, and I feel that it has delivered. It isn't cheap, but then again, sometimes you do get what you pay for.

It is my 'holy grail' anti-aging product - I certainly haven’t used a cream that has delivered such noticeable results previously, so I suspect they are onto something with idebenone, their active ingredient.

Even if you can't afford to use it on a daily basis (which is always ideal, due to the cumulative effects) it is still worthwhile to have on hand and use on special occasions when you want to give your skin a boost.

My advice - go to the counter and try a sample - but proceed with caution, as it is likely that you will love it!

Luxurious but crazy expensive!!

I received the Elizabeth Arden Prevage moisturiser with Sunscreens as part of the Beauty heaven trial team.
The products (EA serum and moisturiser) arrived in a lovely cylinder box, the pump bottles are so beautiful! They are in a lovely shiny silver and a matt silver finish - they look so luxurious on my bathroom shelf! I started a patch test as advised, then after a few days started the trial. First of all I have to say the moisturiser is just lovely! Glides on perfectly and has a lovely delicate fragrance which is unique to EA products. I found it light and non greasy and it sinks in quickly into my skin which is great as I have combination skin. As much as I would love to say I saw dramatic differences and it's the best moisituriser I have ever tried. I cannot say either of these things, there was absolutely no difference to my skin's appearance what-so-ever… there is nothing wrong with the product at all but it is horrifically expensive! It is definitely not a product I will be purchasing in the future unless I win lotto! I do have to mention there was initially a problem with the bottle I received and after a quick email to Carli this was all fixed up very quickly by Elizabeth Arden who courierd a brand new bottle straight out. This is excellent customer service and so it should be for such a costly product!! Thanks BH and Elizabeth Arden. This was a lovely luxurious trial and made me feel fabulous and very spoilt!!

Advanced Ultra Protection And Ultra Light!

This is my second review of this moisturiser as I trialled it back in October last year. Beyond the trial I continued to use it as it seemed to be doing my skin some favours and it slipped easily into my morning skincare routine. It has a good sun protection factor which is extremely beneficial as it's not just an ordinary moisturiser - in fact, it's far beyond that.

It made my skin feel protected, hydrated and pampered. The light yellow coloured cream with it's delicate scent has a lovely light, silky texture which spreads easy on application to the skin. There is no heavy feel at all with this cream and it makes a fantastic base for make-up. I felt secure and confident that I was doing the best possible in a moisturiser for my skin while wearing this product and it definitely deserves the words "ultra protection" which it uses in it's labelling.

I think it would be great to use this at any age but for me personally as I'm in my 40's and I like to focus on skin protection and anti-aging ingredients within my skincare products. This cream does all the issues in one go and I found it quite an exciting moisturiser to use.

It gave my skin a more youthful, smooth look to it and it also considerably lightened a couple of my darker age/sunspots. The packaging is a classy, well-designed silver container with a pump dispenser which makes for easy, hygenic and speedy morning applications. I loved this moisturiser as it just made things super simple and easy to give my skin thorough and advanced daytime care.

Prevage the Ultimate!

This is the most amazing day moisturiser ever! Prevage has the ingredient Idebenone, which is a highly effective antioxidant which protects and repairs the skin like no other creams on the market.

It is expensive but it is worth it, as it works!

First, its in a pump, so you only need to dispense the smallest amount and that will cover your face. Having the pump, means you only dispnse what you need and also it keeps the product fresh and is very hygenic.

It has a very high sunscreen of SPF 30, deeply moisturises the skin, is not at all oily or greasy, is suitabe for all ages and has a lovely, silky feel, much like a serum.

Your skin looks luminous, and day after day, you see an improvement in your skin tone, less fine lines and wrinkles, and it firms and lifts! It is a wonder product, and does everything you could ever ask - protect from the sun, repairs sun damage, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles are radically reduced. You will feel and look younger. It is pricey, but as its a day cream, and you only need 1 small pump, it should last you many monthes! I give this 5 stars and my BH Glosscar!
