| ifif1938's Full Review: LancôMe Absolue Absolute Replenishing Cream S... |
Living in South Florida all of my adult like and having spent my pre and teen years on Miami Beach, it’s no wonder I’ve spent way too much time in the sun..we used to sit at the oceans edge letting the waves roll over us with only baby oil and iodine as “protection”….of course now, I’ve paid the price in my mature years.
In the past two weeks I had to have two small carcinoma’s removed from my face…one, a Basel cell, though not the most serious kind, was just above my eyebrow. I had to have stitches and hopefully it won't leave a big scar, Dr. said it will blend into the other small lines I already have.. Then Wednesday I had a pre-Squamus cell frozen off my cheek...this kind of cancer can be a bit more serious if left unchecked so I was lucky it was spotted early and this particular procedure will only leave a small mark on my cheek...To look at me now though, is not a pretty sight. My hubby said I looked like I just got out of the ring with Mohammed Ali. At least in his prime!
Anyway, the moral of this story is that you must use sun screen whenever you are out in the sun...We didn’t know that way back then but we certainly know that now…and, I must admit, I wasn’t as good about doing so as consistently as I should.
Funny thing I do use a wonderful product on my face occasionally but not daily…it’s strange too, because I really do love this face creme, I just alternate a bit too much with one that doesn’t have sunscreen in it…that too is going to change right now.
Absolue Replenishing Crème is a marvelous face creme that replaces the vital function of the skin which becomes a bit more delicate as you and your skin ages. Much of this is due to the loss of elasticity and firmness caused by hormonal deficiencies as well as wear and tear and, of course, damage from environmental changes as well the profound damage from the sun.
I love the look and feel of this light, creamy face creme as well as its delicate fragrance, no heavy after smell which, to me, is very important. It’s absorbed instantly into your skin without any greasy or sticky residue…with just one use you can feel the tightness of your skin lessen as it leaves behind a wonderful smooth feeling and you can actually see a difference in the small lines on your face..after about a month some of those lines seem to disappear and the texture of your skin just feels better...best of all, it contains a SPF 15 sunscreen!
Why I haven’t used my Absolue everyday, I just don’t know….unless unconsciously I try to conserve it since it is very costly, about $90 for 1.7 ounce jar, (I think the price recently went up to $100)...I’ve only actually purchased it one time since I use quite a lot of Lancome products and wait for the gift with purchase offers that come out regularly…often a nice sample size of Absolue Replenishing Crème is included in these offers..That was how I was first introduced to it. Though costly, one jar can last months even with daily use.
You can also find Absolue selling on e-bay but you have to be careful since sometimes the products sold are not really made by Lancome…I did buy a jar once that did not have the same scent that I like so much so I was suspicious. Another time, I won an auction for this crème it seemed to be authentic and was less than half the price.
This is complete anti-ageing treatment which, according to Lancome, has been researched to create a reconstructing bio-network for all skin types including delicate skin, with a combination of it’s 3 natural ingredients, Wild Yam, Soya and Sea Algae.
My thoughts are, how can you go wrong with Yam’s, Soya and Sea Algae?
Anyway, these combined ingredients along with whatever else is included truly become a lush rich face creme that eases the daily stress and dryness of my skin leaving my face feeling good again….I really do love Absolue and will make sure that my skin does not go out into the sun without the fortifying sun protection it provides.
Added Note
Even though Absolue does provide your skin with an SPF 15, generally good enough for everyday small doses of the sun, you should always make sure you use something with a higher SPF for prolonged sun bathing…..I’ve known too many people who have had one or more skin cancers removed, thankfully before they could do a lot more damage.
Lancôme does not do any animal testing
