AD-gifted. Cyclax Nature Pure Vitamin E Face and Body Cream.

Hello, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa. 

Regular readers of my blog will know my love for the brand Cyclax. I’ve already featured a couple of products here on EAB, click HERE. 

Today I thought I would share with you a rather delicious body cream. This is from Nature Pure range at Cyclax and it’s the Vitamin E Face and Body Cream.

A whopping 300ml size jar for this beauty! When I opened the jar and took a sniff of the pretty pale green cream, I could smell that this was comfort for my dry dehydrated skin. It just smells so fresh, like a garden after the rain. It feels so cooling when it’s applied and sinks in like an absolute dream. It’s not a thick sticky cream which is wonderful for me, I’m not too keen on a body cream/lotion that feels sticky in any way. The Vitamin E content means my skin is being nourished and leaving my skin feeling so soft, with a subtle fragrance that won’t interfere with your chosen perfume. 

As this is a cream for the face and body I did of course use it for a few weeks as my daytime moisturiser. It is lovely on my dry mature skin. It’s not greasy and it applied like a dream. I was disappointed however that I did break out with a couple of spots on my chin and cheek, but nothing too serious. The cream is lovely to use, as is everything else I have to try from Cyclax ranges.  The products in Nature Pure range are suitable for Vegans and ALL products are made here in the UK.

{AD-gifted} Cyclax Moistura. 2 in 1 Cleanser/Toner and Daily Moisturiser…

 

The Cyclax company was founded in 1896 by Frances Hamilton Forsyth, under the name of Mrs. Frances Hemming in London. It’s one of the worlds oldest cosmetics companies still in existence! In 1939 Cyclax started to provide beauty kits to servicewomen which included their famous ” Auxilary Red lipstick” the company was granted a Royal Warrant by 1961. During the 1970s Cyclax was bought by Lehman Brothers Inc, which lead to rebranding and new products being added to their range. Cyclax was then sold to Cooper Laboratories, before being sold on again to British American Cosmetics. It has changed hands a number of times over the years, but all the while still creating new products. In 2018 Cyclax was acquired by Three Pears International Wholesale, who are “committed to 100% UK manufacture of all Cyclax products”

I have 2 products from the Cyclax Moistura range. A range particularly good if you are like me and have dry dehydrated skin. The first of the products is the Moistura Cleanser/Toner, which is a 2 in 1 product. I have been loving using this first thing in the morning.

The lovely fresh smell just livens up the senses as I use it. I have tried two ways of using the cleanser/toner. The first way by massaging over the face and then removing with a face cloth. It works for me! The second is to pour the cleanser/toner onto a damp cotton pad and swipe over the face. It works for me too! I have used it to remove makeup, and although it struggled to remove all my eye makeup in one go, it didn’t sting my eyes to go in for a second time. But it really does leave my skin feeling fresh and cleansed without being left dry and tight. A really lovely cleanser/toner that I am enjoying using.

The second Cyclax product is a delightful moisturiser. This is the Moistura Daily Moisturiser for Normal/Dry skin.

The first thing I noticed from this cream is the subtle smell of, well to me it was rose, but checking the ingredients there is no rose in the cream. It does contain Witch Hazel so maybe that is what the fragrance is, and it’s rather lovely. It also has lanolin and Beeswax within, so it isn’t suitable for vegans. This is a lightweight cream but it certainly packs in some moisture. It’s a perfect moisturiser for this time of year if you do prefer a lighter day cream but still need the hydration too. It’s been keeping my skin nice and moisturised all day until I’m ready to do my night time routine. As for the Cyclax Daily Moisturiser under foundation, it works perfectly for me whether I am using a matte or dewy foundation.

You will find all the Cyclax products in many chemists/pharmacies, and both independent and national retailers. I’ve also seen them on the Fragrance Direct and Amazon websites. If you would like to see the complete Cyclax range you will find them HERE.
