First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream
A night cream that moisturizers and comforts my skin without irritating it or breaking me out, AND it’ll help keep it young? Sounds almost to good to be true.
But it is very, very true. I have had the worst luck with finding a good night moisturizer that would work for my picky skin. I searched high and low from drugstores to department stores, and I think I’ve finally found the one. I could tell that First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream (find it here) was something else, just from its texture. It’s incredibly soft and fluffy and as soon as it comes with contact with my skin, I can feel immediate relief (my skin is extremely dry at the moment). This ultra hydrating and firming sleeping cream is very soothing, gentle and did not irritate my skin, which is a huge plus. I was excited when I saw that this cream is formulated with niacinamide- which, in skincare, is a potent cell-communicating ingredient that improves skin’s elasticity, helps erase discoloration and revives skin’s natural tone and and texture. You can really feel it work when you massage it into your skin- the feeling of hydration is almost immediate and your skin starts to feel as smooth as silk. At first I thought that because of its rich formula it would leave me feeling a bit greasy, but it did not; it absorbs very nicely into the skin without leaving any residue or a waxy film.
I’ve used this every single night since I got it, and I finally wake up to flake-free, smooth skin. Another cream that I usually use at night is Cetaphili (really wanted to love CeraVe in the tub but it burns my skin)l. I love it and I always seem to come back to it, but I really wanted to try something new, something extra soothing and moisturizing. Similarly to Cetaphil, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra Firm Sleeping Cream is also fragrance-free which is awesome, because fragrance can often irritate my skin and also it doesn’t do anything to benefit your skin, it’s there just to please your senses.
I can’t really speak for its anti-aging properties, since as of right now I do not have any problems with my skin’s elasticity or firmness, but anything that makes my skin feel this soft and smooth, has got to be a great at helping fight the laws of gravity as well ;) .
I believe that First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream was First Aid Beauty product, next I really want to try their original Ultra Repair Cream. Have you used any FAB products?

April 22, 2015 at 7:22 amI have wanted to try First Aid Beauty for some time – I have heard so many amazing things about the brand on other blogs/Youtube. I dont wear a night cream (on recommendation from the dermatologist) as I have blemish-prone/oily skin. However, this sounds like it would be great if I was having a dry spell :) xx

April 22, 2015 at 7:30 amMy skin is also acne-prone Brenda, this didn’t break me out at all. I am using a prescription cream that’s making me so dry that I have no other choice but to use a night cream ;) I’m sure your derm knows what he’s talking about though :) :)
