When Reviva Labs contacted me, I was extremely excited. I worked with them in the past and enjoyed every single products. I have reviewed Reviva Labs Stem Cell Booster Serum, Reviva Labs Makeup Primer, and Reviva Labs Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester, & DMAE Cream. For this post, I will focus on one of their day creams.

Thoughts: I've been lucky to experience brands that I wouldn't know about. In my opinion, Reviva Labs are underrated in the blogosphere.
With all Reviva Labs products, they put an expiration date on the package and it's clear to the naked eyes. I love that you don't have to search for it.
Here's a closer look at the cream.
Here's a swatch of the cream.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's hardly any scent. I smelled a slight fragrance while putting my nose close to the cream, but you will not smell anything during the application. Secondly, I love the consistency of the cream. It is on the thicker side but I would say in-between medium to thick consistency. I think this is great for normal to dry skin individuals, as well as, aging. I love the slight cooling feel while applying and how it spreads onto the skin. It does feel like and spreads like butter, soft and creamy. Lastly, I've had great reaction to this cream. For the past month, my skin has been actively dry. It's been so bad that I had red spots with dry patches. It's been years since I've seen this reaction to my skin. Either I'm allergic to something, the weather has been drier than most years, my skin is aging way too quickly, or a combination of few/all. I tried different moisturizers and they all felt nice until several hours later. My skin started heating up and turning red. Then thankfully, this cream came up. Initially, it was the same as the other moisturizers. It'll feel nice during application but hours later, my skin will start heating up. It took a week before my skin started feeling slight better. Once my skin got used to this product, all the dryness disappeared and the redness. Not only that, the fine lines on my forehead from this reaction diminished. It was a lifesaver!

Pros:
* Organic.
* Antioxidant.
* Visual expiration.
* No scent.
* Medium to thick consistency.
* Recommended for normal to dry skin individuals.
* Smooth application; spreads like butter.
* Fine lines diminished.
* No animal testing.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Comes in a tub; not sanitary safe.

Would repurchase: Yes.

Excellent review Ahleessa! I've been suffering from dry skin as well. It could be a combination of things. This cream sounds dreamy. I love that it's organic and has little fragrance.

Sachi said...

this sounds so nice, but doubt it would work for my super oily skin. Glad you found something that works for you, its weird how suddenly our skin can change and we have to find new products. Never a dull moment, our faces keep us on our toes lol

Ahleessa said...

This is a great brand and I forgot how much my skin loves it! You're welcome!

Ahleessa said...

Thank you!

Ahleessa said...

It is and it's real good. :)

Ahleessa said...

Oh, this will be perfect for you! I cannot wait to hear what you have to say if you do try it that is.

Ahleessa said...

Yes, our skin keeps us on our toes. You are very lucky in the sense you will age slower than dryer skin like myself.

Jane said...

sounds like a really great product! i've been looking into some sort of skin care for myself!

Ahleessa said...

It is a great product or at least for me. :)
