Review Pai Macadamia & Rose dry skin cream
A couple of months ago I did a Pai order after I had seen it on Amodelrecommends and there was a coupon code which got you a free eye cream. Pai is an organic luxurious skin care brand, oh how I love these... So far I have only tried this moisturizer from the things I've ordered - my stash is too big, I desperately need to finish some things *you may have noticed I'm hauling a lot less, yeah that's why*.
It comes in a simple paper box and the product has been put in a jar with a pump. I like the packaging: the glass is not too heavy and pumps always have my preference (although I've noticed that a bit of product seems to dry up in the pump, it's a waste). It's seethrough, this is good for noticing how much you have left but it's a bit worse for the ingredients as light exposure diminishes active ingredients. But then again, this is not as bad as a jar... so I can definitely live with it. It's 30ml which is a fair amount, personally I prefer bigger ones of 50ml. Pricing is expensive at 32 euros, so it'd better deliver!
The cream has a floral scent -rose- and is quite thick. It spreads out easily and sinks fast into my dry skin. But afterwards it feels a bit sticky and it takes a while before it has completely sunk in. Afterwards my skin feels very nourished. This is indeed a rich cream and it has been working out fine on my sensitive skin, although I'm not that sure with the amount of fragance in it. They can skip it for me. I use about 1-2 pumps for my entire face and have been using this as a night cream. I have been able to use it for a few months and am now gathering the last bits so it lasts some time. It has been taking good care of my skin -especially now that fall / winter is upon us-, but I haven't seen a massive improvement in it either... This is a decent rich night cream, but a tad too expensive compared to its effects... I expected more from it, to be honest.
The goods: pump, nice scent, thick cream, nourishing, can be used by sensitive skin
The bads: price, fragrance, feels sticky after application, product dries up in pump (=waste!)
To sum it up... Yes, this is a good product for dry sensitive skin and I enjoyed using it. Is it something special or a must-try? No, it is not. I can think of likewise creams at a better price (Paula hydrating treatment cream for instance). Personally, I will not repurchase it but if you'd like to try it and the price isn't an obstacle to you - go ahead!
Our Macadamia & Rose moisturiser is formulated to provide an intensive hydration boost for dry and mature skin.

Use as a Day or Night Cream to hydrate, smooth and protect your skin.
This dry skin moisturiser is free from alcohol which can dry out the skin, as well as irritating chemicals such as artificial fragrances, parabens, phenoxyethanol and propylene glycol.

Hmm spijtig dat je deze niet zo leuk vond.
De sensitive range moisturizer is veel beter voor als je een gevoelige huid hebt, vooral na scheren! Er zit natuurlijk overal olie in en dus ga je altijd meer glimmen in het begin, maar dat trok altijd snel weg bij mij. Desnoods rap even een papieren zakdoekje erover deppen en klaar.
Heb je de toner er onder al geprobeerd? Ik vind mijn rozemarijn & rijstwater toner echt heel vochtinbrengend! Kan geloven dat als je eerst de toner en dan dit erover doet, echt wel een mooi effect krijgt.
Je hebt tegelijk veel minder nodig ook want het smeer zalig uit :)
Ik vind 'm wel leuk, maar te duur in verhouding tot wat 'm doet. Als 'm 10euro lager geprijsd stond, kocht ik 'm wel opnieuw.
Ik glim niet, zelfs niet bij deze... Dus qua olie valt het nog wel mee, dat is goed. Zelf heb ik geen problemen gehad met gevoeligheid bij deze crème maar ik kan me wel indenken dat sommigen dat gaan hebben, de geur is enorm aanwezig. Voor mij mag het parfum er uit :)
Nee, de toner staat nu klaar want mijn huidige MD spray is leeg. Ik zal de combinatie de komende dagen zeker proberen :).
Je hebt inderdaad niet veel nodig, dat is altijd een pluspunt he!
Had jij de oogcrème al gebruikt hiervan?
Ja je moet hem denk ik echt kopen voor het feit dat hij zo organisch is enz
Is niet bepaald een goedkope versie van de aldi ofzo hehe.
De geur is inderdaad nogal aanwezig maar ik had er geen problemen mee. Mijn versie was wel de 'chamomile & rosehip moisturiser' dus niet echt een rare geur :)
De spray erbij gebruiken is echt verbazend. Zou hem zelfs eens gewoon zo op je huid gebruiken want dan zie je wat hij voor je doet. De mijne voelt wel plakkerig aan tot hij volledig opgedroogd is en dan nog! Als je er iets over doet dan niet meer.
De oogcreme ben ik aan het gebruiken en ja die werkt wel lekker hydraterend en verstevigend. Heb echter geen rimpels, enkel dat vervelende blauwe aders gedoe, maar daar helpt niets tegen. Word wel wakker met heel zachte en stevige oogcontouren.
