By far, serums are probably my most favorite step of skincare routine. I just love layering my serums. So, without a good moisturizer to lock all the essential nourishments from the serums/ampoules, a skincare regime is ineffective. One moisturizer cream that works excellently in locking in all the goodness is the By Wishtrend’s Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream.
The Importance of incorporating a good moisturizer in a skincare routine
We hear it all the time that good hydration is the foundation of an effective skincare routine. While toners are the basic first step of hydration that also preps the skin for the following moisture, serums, on the other hand, are a more potent, jam-packed nutrient-rich concentrated skin treatments. For me, serums are definitely the heroes of my skincare routine. And in order to preserve and seal all the benefits from toners and serums, a good moisturizer is a must. A moisturizing cream or a sleeping pack helps in sealing all the moisture and the By Wishtrend Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream does all that and more.
The By Wishtrend Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream is a vitamin cream fortified with 75% Vitamin Tree Water (also called Hippophae Rhamnoides Water or Sea Buckthorn Water) in place of water, that helps to brighten and clarify the skin. Vitamin tree water is a rich source of various vitamins including Vitamin B, Vitamin C, natural Vitamin E, and fatty acids (omega 3,6,7 and 9). Along with the benefits from Vitamin Tree, this cream is also formulated with skin-beneficial nourishing oils from sunflower seed oil (another rich source of Vitamin E), palm oil and macadamia ternifolia seed oil.
How I use it?
I use this in the moisturizer-step of my skincare routine in both my AM and PM skincare routines. As I am always layering different kinds of serums, I use this cream to lock and seal all the goodness from my serums. In the mornings, I follow this cream up with the Klair’s sunscreen and for the night-time, I follow this up with a richer cream like the Honey Glow Cream from I’m From.
My Thoughts
The By Wishtrend Vitamin 75 maximizing cream is a lightweight moisturizer with a silky-gel-like consistency. It spreads easily and is a fast-absorbing cream, has a faint citrusy smell (probably from the lemon peel oil). A little amount is sufficient but this can be easily layered without feeling heavy or greasy. This is perfect for the morning routine as it sufficiently moisturizes and brightens my skin without any greasiness and for the night-time, I follow this up with a richer cream (currently using the I’m From Honey Glow Cream). Despite being light-weight, my skin feels thoroughly moisturized and brightened. Also, since it gives you that faint healthy glow (attained by this and from products used prior to this), I feel confident in not wearing any foundation these days. As this cream also contains Vitamin E, I am pairing it with my Vitamin C serum to get the added benefits from both the world. After having used this for more than a month, I must say, my skin looks brighter.
Conclusion
I feel this is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin as this cream is free of mineral oil and fragrance. I have dry skin and one layer of this cream is sufficient for me. Using this has definitely brightened up my skin and this does a great job in moisturizing and keeping my skin supple. If you are looking for a light-weight yet rich and nourishing cream that also brightens the skin, then this would be the best option to go for.
