It promises to adjust to your skin needs, to provide continuous hydration, to protect against environmental toxins. A variety of plant oils and extracts offers anti-oxidants, hydration and energy to the skin.
What I liked: Elemis Maximum Moisture Day Cream is one of those rather runny creams that are packed with hydration. Once applied the skin looks instantly plumped and 'juicy'. Glowy without feeling greasy. And it stays that way throughout the day. It's excellent under makeup. This reminds me a bit of January Labs Moisture Balancing Lotion, just with more oomph. And sadly with more fragrance :(
What I didn't like: Firstly, the fragrance. While very nice indeed, it is far too strong. And neither I nor my skin are particularly sensitive to smell/fragrance. Secondly, the packaging. The product comes out almost too easily out of the tube, almost always more than I needed. Also, once I thought the product was finished, I cut the tube in half and there was at least seven more applications there. The pump is always a way to go. This is a £40 moisturiser! Thirdly, the moisturiser separated in the tube. Not terribly and a good shake would always sort it out. But on a few occasions I did have clear oil coming out and the cream. Didn't particularly bother me, but it may bother some.
All in all, it's a nice moisturiser, especially for warmer weather, dehydrated skins and if you can get an offer (lookfantastic is excellent).
