Today I decided to do a beauty review of my favourite night cream at the moment! It is the "Deep Recovery Night Cream" by Rituals. This cream is so special for me for different reasons. The first one is that I got that cream right before moving to the U.S. as a reminder of my very good friend, who used to work for Rituals in the Netherlands. She gave me a little sample, a 15 ml( 0.5 fl. oz.) small jar filled with so much goodness, that whenever I put it on I sincerely experience a small flashback to my life in Germany, thinking about times hanging out together with her and watching "Breakfast at Tiffanys" while talking about the newest beauty products! Thank you my dear!:-)
The other reason is what this post is about. So read on!!:-)
First of all some information on the brand that is not so well known here in the U.S. yet.
Rituals, a company founded by Raymond Cloosterman in 2000, has been my faourite since many years. The majority of the luxurious and high qualitative products are being produced in Europe, making it kind of a little secret for American women here in the US., although it is available here too. The more important I find it to introduce this brand and especially this night cream to you ladies!
The products are furtherless never tested on animals. Ecological sustainability as well as the support of less fortunate people through the foundation "tiny miracles" makes Rituals a brand for me that I can enjoy buying and introducing to you, even though it`s not vegan.
According to the homepage the cream is supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, which makes me think about it as a product younger women (in their mid to late 20s) can wear without having to put on heavy lines-reducing substances- which they don`t need anyway!
The ingredients that I like most about this cream are Shea Butter, also known as Karité Butter, which is famous for soothing and moisturizing basically every possible (problematic) skin type. It`s a real miracle with healing properes and extracted from the nut of the African Shea Tree.
Traced back to the Ancient Egypt where it used to protect the natives from the dry and hot wind as well as the burning sun, one can only assume that Cleopatra couldn`t keep her hands away from this baby!
Other ingredients include avocado oil which is high in both substances, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which are so important to stop the oxidation process in our body and cells, leaving us not only look but also feel old.
And last but not least another favourite of mine that happens to be in this cream is jojoba oil, extracted from the seeds of the jojobal plant, which is indigenous to Mexico and the United States. What is interesting about this oil is that it is non-comedogenic and non-allergenic, which not only means you avoid running the risk of waking up with pimples and an itching face but can also be safely used around the eyes without causing any greasy feeling. High in Vitamin E and antibacterial properties jojobal oil is also, like avocado oil, an antioxidant fighting the free radicals, being responsible for severe diseases, amongst other things, cancer.
When putting this cream on at night my skin feels moisturized without being greasy, which is really important for me since I too had my fights with pimples & Co. by using way too oily creams that caused my skin to breakout instead of recover.
The smell is so nice too, which is one of the companys most important signature marks. All of their products have a very luxurious and unique scent that compares to nothing else I have used so far and I am literally looking forward to put this cream on every night, while drifting into my dreams.
The only downside of this product may be the price, which is $45 for 50 ml (1.6 fl.oz.), though I really do think that it`s worth it.
But if you happen to be in Europe for your next trip or vacation, don`t forget to visit a store or one of the companies spas in Belgium or the Netherlands and get the cream there, you won`t regret it! Selected hotels, airlines and boutiques offer Rituals products in their ränge too. To find out more visit the companies U.S. homepage.
Thumbs up!!
