Review : Biotherm Line Peel Nuit Crystalescent

Product Description

Biotherm Line Peel Nuit CRYSTALESCENT Night Renewing Care is enriched with gingko biboba, an activator of the skin micro-circulation. The night cream also provides the benefits of brightening skin tone, boosting skin’s natural self-peeling system and stimulating the formation of new skin cells by the new technology of CRYSTALESCENT.

Touted as a night renewing care cream to give newborn skin, it has 3 complementary actions in an an anti corneo-damage formula to gently polish skin surface, recondition the skin and reveal each morning to a fresh crystalline complexion.

It was first launched in Singapore in 2008, and this cream is the newer 2009 formula, retailing at $110 but it has since been pulled out and replaced by Skin Vivo range. I was not that attracted to this range before as I always thought its for the mature skin. Different Biotherm consultants told me different stories. Some consultants would tell me that its recommended for mature skin while some says it can be used from age 25 onwards.

The word "peel" never appeal to me because it always reminded me of AHA peels which are not suitable for sensitive skin like mine, and may in fact, increase the sensitivity of the skin, leaving the skin raw and vulnerable. However, I have been reassured many times by the different consultants that its actually a very gentle peel, suitable for daily use.

During one of my purchase, I received this night care cream in a 5ml tube form. which I have been using on an on-off basis. I quite like the sweet lilac colour which is the signature colour for the Line Peel range.

It has a hint of floral fragrance which I found to be quite soothing but may be considered as heavily-perfurmed to some people.

However, this product does not suit my skin at all, which is why I have been using it on an on-off basis at night. I only use it when my skin is at its best or optimal state, meaning no flakiness or dehydration.

Reason being, its not hydrating enough and cause flakiness on my skin at times.

Its also sticky and does not absorb well into the skin.

Instead of waking up to newborn skin in the morning, sometimes I woke up with red sensitive skin. Fyi, I do not use anything before this cream, just a toner. I do not like to layer too much products on my skin at night, or anything "heavy" before a cream-based product as I do felt that cream itself is "heavy" enough for my skin.
