Review: GLORIA GARCIA Moisturising Cream

The GLORIA GARCIA moisturising cream, just like the other GLORIA GARCIA products from my previous blog, is infused with the powerful and restorative effects of the olive fruit. The product contains a high amount of Vitamin E which makes it a great moisturising agent for the skin. It also contains Vitamin A which is a powerful antioxidant and known for its reparative properties. Suitable for all ages and skin-types. 

GLORIA GARCIA carries two moisturising creams in her Olive Oil line, a day moisturiser and a night moisturiser. This one in particular is for day use as it contains SPF 15 so you won't have to worry about applying sunblock after. 

It's like an all-in-one moisturiser for those who don’t have time to slather different products in the morning. Plus, it's all-natural and not tested on animals. 

REVIEW


I used this product for over a week now and one thing that I noticed about this moisturiser is how well it works with makeup. The consistency is rather rich and this helps it blend with foundation seamlessly. It’s like an added moisture boost for your makeup. Even with powder applied over it, my skin still looked very fresh, especially in photos.   

On its own, the product works just like any moisturiser would. It keeps the skin hydrated throughout the entire day without you having to reapply anything. 

It does, however, make my skin look shiny because of the oil content. To lessen the appearance of shine, I simply placed a thin layer of the product on. 

To help you better visualise the effects of this cream, I find it synonymous to Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream. They're both very rich and potent moisturisers that work in restoring the skin from inside out. GLORIA GARCIA's Moisturising Cream is a toned down version of the 8 Hour Cream but synonymous nonetheless and without the stickiness. 


Another thing that I noticed is that it also has a very lasting effect. At the end of the day, when I remove my makeup, my skin still feels soft and smooth. It looked great from start to finish. 

How to use
After washing and toning, apply this product by placing 5 dots on the key areas of the face (forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin). Massage until the product is spread throughout then pat onto skin until fully absorbed. 

*Be careful not to over apply especially in hot weather conditions. 

Packaging
The packaging is simple, elegant, and top quality. The product comes in a 50ml glass-type container with a twist-off lid. 


To observe proper hygiene when using this product, I suggest using a scooper to get the product from the bottle and closing the lid immediately after to avoid any contamination from the air.
