I have been using Chanel's Hydra Gel Cream for three years now (they recently re launched the line with new ingredients) and I can honestly say that for me personally, it is the best moisturiser I've used .... and believe me, I've tried a HECK OF A LOT of different ones over the years!
Aesthetically it's very pleasing; the jar looks pretty in your bathroom cabinet, and it comes with a cute little application spatular. When you open the tub you are greeted by a Tiffany duck egg blue gel cream that smells so fresh and almost exudes a "healthy" vibe.
But this product goes far deeper than looks, it hydrates and protects your skin brilliantly.
Ingredients include Camellia alba extract (the iconic Chanel flower) and Blue Ginger that feed your thirsty skin. The gel cream is very light - use sparingly, a little goes a long way.
After a few days you will begin to see and feel your skin coming to life - looking brighter and plumper. The formulation is non greasy so it makes a fantastice base for foundation. No need to wait ten minutes before putting your makeup on.
Although the initial shelling out of £50 sounds steep, a jar will last you 5-6 months. No more £10 here and there on trying out different high street brands, which over a year I'm sure would probably tot up to over £100.
Remember - you only get one face, so love it and look after it as best you can, from as young an age as you can.
