A few days ago, I shared with you the exciting items Marcelle is coming out with for summer 2011. Today I look at the cream I received kindly from Marcelle to try out - on with the review!
PRODUCT: Marcelle HYDRA-C Moisturizing Cream 24h + SPF 15
PRICE: CAD $23.95 for 50 ML
AVAILABILITY: Part of permanent skincare line, available Aug 2011
WHERE TO PURCHASE: At most Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall Pharma Plus, Walmart, Zellers and most other places were Marcelle skincare items are sold.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT FROM MANUFACTURER:
"Rich and velvety, this cream is designed specifically for dry skin. The formula is enriched with shea butter, canola oil and aloe vera extract. We also supplemented the cream with a synergistic amino acid complex which rebuilds and compensates for impaired natural moisturizing ability.
The result: complete comfort and soft, supple skin.
The HYDRA-C Moisturizing Cream24h + SPF 15 Dry Skin is suitable for dry skin.
You should never have to feel uncomfortable in your (dry ) skin"
REVIEW: 
I am always a bit scared to try new creams - my skin is as moody as a teenager - one day its fine, next day its freaking out. So far I have have pretty good run with my regular moisturizer so I was a bit reluctant to change it up. But of course I can't review something I haven't tried right? Oh the things I have to do for you guys! LOL
I have been using it for about 4 weeks now as part of my daily morning routine. As you may know, I have very dry skin - in summer it gets slight oily "looking" , but underneath its still as dry as the Sahara. So I need enough moisture to last me through the entire work day and then some.
The cream itself comes in a fairly presentable glass jar with a white domed cap.
The cream is not pure white - to me it looks like there is a hint of orange to it. It has no strong smell that I could detect. Its nice and creamy , but not overly heavy.
It adsorbs into my face and neck fairly well and keeps it fairly hydrated during the work day. My skin doesn't feel tight or itchy nor do I feel the need to reapply another moisturizer.
This is def. not a cream for anyone with oily skin. If used sparingly it might be OK for anyone with normal skin as well.
Overall, I am quite happy with the cream - a bit surprisingly I might add as I have a hard time finding anything that doesn't mess with the delicate balance of my facial skin LOL.
VERDICT: 5/5 - Does what it promises to do. So def. no complains from me and for the price compared to other high end brands, its not at all a bad buy. If you have dry skin and need something with SPF I'd def. recommend this for you to try out!
