Santa Maria Novella F Nourishing Cream 50ml 10734

As a European-born, I am a lover of all things Santa Maria Novella, especially after visiting the original pharmacy in Florence. A couple of months ago, when my perfume ran out, I rushed back to the DC store to pick up a couple of new fragrances and other goodies. While there, I roamed the store for new products and remembered I also needed a face cream. With skin care products, I stick to what I know works best for my skin but I keep an open mind. The sales rep showed me their face creams and she detailed what each of them were intended for. I was a bit skeptical to say the least given that Santa Maria Novella is known mainly for their perfumes and at $125 the price is the most of what I would pay for a face cream but bit bullet and bought the F Cream for age prevention. I had acne-prone skin for almost my entire life, until 2 years ago so I am very careful with what I put on my skin. Most creams either make my skin worse or aren't doing anything but after three-four uses, I must say that Cream F has shocked me - it made m y skin so incredibly supple and luminous. I don't think my skin ever looked this good. I simply am in denial of how beautiful my skin looks and feels - not too greasy, enough moisture even for the summer months, and just a brightening, soft, and delicate effect. I just can't say enough about this cream. It truly shocked me that an unassuming cream from an unassuming line can improve my skin to where it looks younger, brighter, softer, and simply close to perfect. I absolutely LOVE this face cream and will be using it for years to come!
