Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Face Moisturizer - Firming & Hydrating Face Cream to Create a Smoother-Looking Base for Makeup - Enriched with Vitamins C & E, Peptide Complex & Hyaluronic Acid

The magic cream moisturizer is a great pick. The jars are made out of a thick glass. They feel very luxurious, and look great sitting out on the counter or a vanity. The gold lid fits the rest of the brand’s aesthetics, and further enhances the lux vibes. I like that you have the option in the two largest sizes, to purchase a refill tub, instead of a whole new jar, for a little bit of a discount. While the 1 oz size doesn’t have a refill tub for sale, it does have the same removable inner plastic tub as the largest sizes. This would be great for sanitizing, and refilling from a bigger jar of the magic cream, or even with another product altogether. So it definitely has its perks. I tested the removal process and found it to be extremely easy, and simple to take out, and put back in the inner refill tubs. Despite this ease, the inner tub clicks into place and holds strongly, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it coming dislodged.The formula itself is great. The cream is kind of thick, but it spreads easily and absorbs quickly. I found it to be adequately moisturizing, and my skin didn’t feel tight. The cream was not greasy or tacky, despite being a heavier moisturizer. It left my skin hydrated, glowy, and smoother looking. I see why they claim it could make a great primer for under makeup, as my skin felt really well prepped. Dimethicone is found in a lot of pore filling primers, so the priming capabilities make a lot of sense. I found this cream to provide enough hydration even for my dry skin type. I think people with all skin types would like this cream. It could work as a day or night cream.The cream is lightly scented. It is a floral scent which is fresh and mild. I found it to be quite pleasant, but if you are sensitive to fragrances, be aware that this cream does have a fragrance.I haven’t used it for long enough yet to review the clinical claims about it, possibly reducing the appearance of redness, fine lines, skin texture, and so forth. I did find it to make my skin more hydrated, and to appear smoother, and more glowy after application. Overall I really like this cream, and can recommend it.
