Ladies (and gents) this skin care is for us and only us!  Lancôme has a new skin care product called Absolue Precious Cells Advanced Regenerating and Replenishing Cream SPF15 and it is made specifically for those of us that are around 50 or over and since I personally will be knocking on 50’s door in a couple short years I’m very interested in hearing about this!   So Lancôme sent me the product, because there aren’t many places to go to talk about skincare that is specifically for mature skin and I’m here for you.

So why is this different that it’s directed towards people around 50 and up?  Well, we lose moisture in our skin as we age – we all know that.  But it’s also a fact that as we age the epidermis also thins, and we lose the density of our skin and we start to show wrinkles and these ever-changing ways of our skin becomes more noticeable.    For me, I’ve noticed my skin has really started to show the age creeping up on me in the last few years so I want to try anything in skincare that I think will help.  I’m still not ready to go the Botox and filler route yet.

What makes this different?   Well, I’m not going to make you bored with numbers and scientific words.   If you want that – you can look into it further on Lancome’s website on the link above.   But the science of it does sound very interesting and hopeful that we can keep our skin looking its best for longer, and isn’t that what we all really want anyway – to look the best we can by still looking like ourselves.

I’ve only been using the Day Cream for 3 days now – so obviously I haven’t had any changes in my skin yet.   But it is a cream for day with SPF 15 and not a lotion so it’s a bit thicker, yet not heavy.    It absorbs fairly quickly although not immediately, but it definitely doesn’t feel like a filmy or a greasy texture on my skin.  My skin just feels nice and moisturized.   It’s not irritating to me, because if my skin doesn’t like something it lets me know within 24 hours. 

I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what I think of this after several weeks of use.   But I think I’m really going to like this!   It’s also available in a Night Cream and an Eye Cream as well.  If I like the results of the Day Cream – that Eye Cream may be something I’ll have to give a try as well!

If you have tried this or are thinking about getting this – I’d love to hear from you.
