“This is it,” my co-worker Michael said, plopping a small box on my desk. He looked like an addict who had just gotten a fix. In reality, he had just splurged on his new favorite face cream, By Terry Hydra-Replenishing Mask, during a shopping trip at Space NK. “You see results, instantly,” he said sounding as if the brand’s founder Terry de Gunzburg had personally called him up and offered him money to promote her goods. He sent me home with the little jar to test the cream out.
I was skeptical, mostly because my experiences with moisture-boosting masks in the past have left my face feeling oily. But later that night, I washed my face, applied the cream, which actually feels more like a gel, and left it on for 15 minutes as the directions instructed. Slight tingling ensued. I’m assuming that prickly sensation was the combination of Cereus, a cactus extract, and various floral oils listed on the Web site doing its work. When I rinsed the mask off, I had to admit that Michael was right. My face felt smoother and my skin appeared matte and the slightest bit more even in tone, as if I’d just had a facial. Michael uses it two to three times a week but Terry’s site says you can apply it daily. I’m going to add it to my personal arsenal.
So, thank you Michael for getting me hooked on yet another expensive cream (it’s 72 EUR or $95 in the U.S., but kind of worth it in my opinion.)
That cactus extract sounds kind of intense. No wonder you compare it to crack.
since your friend michael recommended it, i’m assuming it’s OK for men! i’m going to check it out!
