new products for the face from 300 rubles, reviews

The editorial staff of Woman’s Day has studied cheap and expensive beauty novelties for the face and is ready to make a verdict on the funds.

– Facial care is the most difficult beauty product that I can choose for months. Through trial and error, I found the products that suit me today, and after 2 months my skin dries up (due to the heating season or the fact that, as we know, our skin can change due to factors of our health). For a long time, my favorites have been Chanel’s hydra beauty line (their serum and face balm are excellent) and Loccitane’s Peony Cream Serum. But as the saying goes, those who don’t take risks will never find the perfect remedy for healthy and glowing skin.

“Black Pearl”, “Self-rejuvenation” 26+, cream for dry and sensitive skin, 250 rubles

Expectations: Based on the results of the latest scientific achievements in the field of cosmetogenomics and biotechnology, the leading cosmetologists of the Black Pearl brand declared that the most effective, safe and long-lasting rejuvenation is achieved only by those substances that the skin produces itself, and released a collection of products called Self-Rejuvenation. The line includes products for ages 26, 36, 46 and 56+. Naturally, I chose the first option and decided to check how effectively the product for 250 rubles works.

Reality: I have normal skin, prone to dryness in spring and autumn. Day cream “For dry and sensitive skin 26+” contains BIO-granules of jojoba, hyaluronic acid, liquid collagen, avocado, macadamia and shea butter, and also has UV protection.

A fairly light consistency and a pleasant unobtrusive aroma make you forget about the price of the product and trust the specialists who developed the line. The product pleasantly moisturizes the skin and does not tighten it. I would be pleasantly surprised and would like to continue my experiment for a few more weeks to see the result from using the cream.

I advise you to pay attention to it for those who do not have problem skin.

Score: 10 and 10 points… I haven’t found any flaws yet.

Sesderma, C-VIT Radiance, skin radiance fluid, RUB 3780

Expectations: The new collection of the Sesderma brand C-VIT combats with a triple action: it gives the skin a radiance and evens tone, reduces wrinkles and has an antioxidant effect.

The most important points are tone equalization and shine. Let’s check.

Reality: the product contains a stabilized vitamin C, a lightening complex, reflective pigments and orange extract (note, allergy sufferers). The fluid with a light and delicate texture adheres well to the skin and is quickly absorbed. Vitamin C brightens the skin with prolonged use, so I used the product every other day. I liked the fact that when applying the product, the skin becomes firm and radiant, so you can skip makeup and look fresh. But the fluid is too light for the winter, for example. In the cold season, it is better to use fatter creams, which will create an invisible film to combat frost.

Rating: 9 of 10 points. I didn’t have enough density, but overall it’s an excellent tool.

Decleor, Hydra Floral Anti-Pollution Fluid, RUB 3090

– I take care cosmetics very seriously. Before getting on my shelf, any product goes through a rigorous selection. Any, even the slightest, redness, irritation, inflammation – and the product is sent either to a friend or to the trash can (depending on its price). And yes: I have not used mass-market products, even luxury or pharmacy products, for a long time. They have exhausted their credibility, but, as it turned out, not completely. Decleor Moisturizing Fluid turned out to be an exception to the rule.

Expectations: I usually use limited edition eco-labeled creams. As I wrote more than once, my favorite is the Russian brand Pure Love. I am ready to use these products all my life without stopping. And, to be honest, I didn’t even think that I could find some adequate replacement for my favorites. But, as it turned out, nothing is impossible.

Decleor Hydra Floral fluid promises to protect skin from environmental stress and UV rays, while moisturizing and relieving dehydration. I have not seen the full composition of the product, but judging by the aroma, essential oils and plant extracts dominate in it. According to the manufacturer, the fluid is suitable for all skin types and does not leave a sticky film.

Reality: this fluid is a great all-round cream. It does not clog pores, does not provoke acne, moisturizes well and protects from harmful sun rays. For my oily and irritated, dehydrated skin, it was perfect. But, I think, in the summertime, the cream will also be loved by the owners of dry skin. In winter, I think it will be too light for this type of skin.

The fluid has a very pleasant aroma of neroli and oils, has a pleasant light texture and is easy to spread. In addition, it is quite economical to use: one small pea of ​​cream is enough for the entire face.

Evaluation: 10 out of 10. Now this is my second favorite cream.

Yves Rocher, Zero Imperfections foundation, 14 hours, pink tone, 960 rubles

– Foundations have a special place in my beauty arsenal. After all, this miracle of decorative cosmetics is able not only to instantly hide imperfections, but also to moisturize the skin, making it healthier and more radiant. Therefore, the product should have more care properties than decorative ones. Of course, I already have my own idea of ​​the favorite tools, but I usually give newbies a chance. So, this time I got my hands on a product of the French brand Yves Rocher, which, by the way, passed the test very well.

Expectation: since I am a big fan of tonal means, I already know exactly what I want to get at the output. That is, my “ideal product” should not only perfectly mask imperfections in the form of dark circles under the eyes, for example, but also hold on steadfastly all day. At the same time, there should be no “mask” or other discomfort on the skin.

Reality: I got the Zero Imperfections foundation, the tone is pink. I will say right away that the promise of manufacturers that the product will confidently hold for 14 hours, evening the skin tone and making it more perfect, won over.

To begin with, the cream is in a convenient glass bottle with a dispenser, which makes it very easy to apply. For example, one click is enough for me to apply the product all over my face. Therefore, the package of 30 ml, I am sure, will be enough for a long time. So, the product, which has a delicate silky texture, behaves perfectly: it masks imperfections well, is easy to apply, does not clog pores, moisturizes the skin and does not give a feeling of “shine and greasy”. For those who have completely capricious skin, I would advise using it in conjunction with a powder or makeup base. I just apply it on “bare” skin and this is quite enough for me.

The only thing that upset me was that pink was not at all my tone. Therefore, after testing, I already planned a trip to the store in search of a golden beige shade.

Rating: 10 out of 10. Even my capricious skin took this product with a bang.

Caudalie, elixir-water Jason Wu, 3100 rubles

Expectation: I will say right away that this time I got only “French”. But, as soon as I got my second ward in my hands, I immediately thought that this was not just another care product, but a real work of art! That only is the bottle itself, dressed in exquisite lace and hidden in a stylish case with a laconic inscription! I admired the beauty created by the Canadian designer Jason Wu for a long time. Already for one such stylish design, I was ready to give the product the maximum score! And now we are going to test the product itself.

Reality: “Delight for the eyes and skin” – this is what I would like to call the miracle water that I had to test. According to the manufacturers, this product, created on the basis of the elixir of youth of the Hungarian queen Isabella, perfectly smoothes facial features, tightens pores and gives the skin a radiance. The elixir can be used to freshen up the face or to set makeup. I used it several times a day to tighten pores.

The spray, which includes dewy incense, soothing the skin, toning myrrh, rosemary, lemon balm, peppermint oil, orange blossom, rose and grape water, so gently envelops and soothes the skin that I now understand Kara Delvin and Reese Witherspoon, who for all day long they try not to part with the coveted bottle. By the way, the feeling that the expert was taking care of you did not leave me throughout the experiment. And all because my sensitive and capricious skin took the product quite easily and did not boycott me in the form of peeling, tightness or redness. It seems to me that this is a good result.

Rating: 10 out of 10. The price, of course, “bites”, but everything else really turned out to be at the level!

Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux from CHANEL, 2199 rubles

– Facial care is a serious matter, you should not make mistakes here in any case. Well, unless you want to fight redness and irritation. Therefore, it is worthwhile to take a responsible approach to the choice of means with which you daily care for your skin. You can save on many things, but not on cosmetics, that’s a fact! We have already discussed that in this case the stingy 100% will pay twice! Let’s talk better about expensive products that are certainly capable of transforming your appearance. Let’s start with Chanel’s Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux, which I loved.

Expectations: The manufacturer reveals many interesting things, for example, that this is the first moisturizer with camellia microspheres, specially created for the sensitive area around the eyes. Another gel for intense hydration, smoothing and radiance of the skin around the eyes targets wrinkles caused by dehydration, puffiness and dark circles.

The texture of the product is fresh, light like water, and comfortable like an emulsion, it blends perfectly with the skin.

Reality: I really like this Chanel line of care, before that I used a moisturizing face gel and was very pleased. As for the product for the skin around the eyes, then everything is fine too. All the manufacturer’s promises are evident! I am very pleased.

I would like to say that the skin around the eyes needs to be given due attention, since there it is especially thin and aging much faster. Therefore, choose good products from trusted brands.

Evaluation: Chanel certainly deserves the highest praise! 10 out of 10 for quality and result.

Thalgo Cleansing Micellar Facial Lotion and Mild Facial Scrub, 5000 rubles for both products

Micellar water

Expectations: the manufacturer says that micellar water is good at removing makeup from the face and eyes in just 1 step. Suitable for all skin types.

Reality: I faced the means of this brand for the first time and, fortunately, was not disappointed. The delicate texture of the cleansing water does not dry out the skin or irritate the lacrimal glands. The cleansing is very comfortable and pleasant, and the skin looks great. After using the product, you do not even need to apply the cream.

Scrub

Expectations: The manufacturer says that the scrub has a soft creamy texture with melting particles that are barely felt on your fingertips. It exfoliates, smoothes and brightens dry and sensitive skin. Easy to rinse off.

Reality: the scrub did not cause any complaints. After application, the skin looks well-groomed, clean and healthy.

Evaluation: I give both remedies a 10 out of 10. Micellar water and scrub are definitely worth the money.

Oriflame, Pure Skin Exfoliating Gel Scrub, RUB 460

– When choosing a face care product, I am not picky. For me, it is not the price or the brand that is important, but how my skin reacts to it. The second important point is the regularity of use. In the evening – cleansing, in the morning – moisturizing and / or nutrition. In this case, the cost does not matter, which, by the way, has been confirmed by the current experiment.

Expectations: the series of the Pure Skin brand with the Detect Technology complex and salicylic acid is designed to care for young and problem skin, which helps to fight imperfections. Two gel scrub washes a week promise clear skin without blackheads and enlarged pores.

Reality: I have not had adolescent skin for a long time, but occasionally rashes appear on it, from which, of course, I want to get rid of it right there. So the scrub gel fell into my hands at the right time. I decided to use it as a cleanser at night. Pleasant fresh smell (in the composition – natural pomegranate extract), rather “soft” granules (microparticles of natural origin). After, however, the face a little “pulled”. But in the morning all pimples and imperfections were almost invisible! I’m not sure I will use it regularly, but rather as an SOS tool when needed.

Evaluation: 10 out of 10 points.

Vichy, calming mineral mask, 1247 rubles

Expectations: I once loved the Vichy brand for the fact that the effect of their products always corresponded to the promises stated on the labels. This time, the creators of the new mineral mask promised to moisturize, relieve irritation and redness (with the help of vitamin B3), as well as a cooling effect and restore the mineral balance. In addition, the product does not require rinsing. A transparent jar with a bluish transparent mask resembles a crystal. I wanted him to become magical.

Reality: the first time I decided, since the product does not require rinsing, use it in the morning. The mask smells wonderful watermelon and the gel consistency seemed to be absorbed quickly. But after a while, a sticky feeling remained in some areas of the face. So I blotted them with a napkin after all. And I still felt it on my skin all day and in the evening I washed my face with relief. So the mask didn’t work for me as a daytime treatment. But after a few days I decided to continue the experiment and apply the product at night. In the morning, the skin of the face pleased me with a fresh and smoother complexion. Perhaps for very dry skin, the mask is also suitable for daytime use. I plan to use it a couple of times a week instead of a night cream.

Evaluation: 8 out of 10 points.
