Overview

What it is

This product is a face and neck cream that incorporates Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract among other ingredients. It is intended to enhance skin suppleness and elasticity and support collagen production.

Key ingredients and their functions

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - emollient
Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract - skin conditioning agent
Cetearyl Alcohol - emulsifying agent
Glycearyl Stearate - emulsifier
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil - moisturizer
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - emollient
Caffeine - antioxidant
Biosaccharide Gum-1 - moisturizing agent

How it works

The face and neck cream leverages several key ingredients to enhance skin appearance. Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract is intended to condition the skin and may support its elasticity. Sunflower Seed Oil acts as an emollient, helping to keep the skin soft. Cetearyl Alcohol and Glycearyl Stearate work as emulsifying agents, aiding in the stability of the product formulation. Grape Seed Oil adds moisture, while Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride provides additional emollient properties. Caffeine is included for its antioxidant properties, and Biosaccharide Gum-1 helps in maintaining skin moisture. Collectively, these ingredients aim to improve skin suppleness and contribute to a smoother appearance.

Feels great

I bought this recently and absolutely love the fact the brand is fragrance free, vegan and cruelty free! I've been using it on my face and neck and have really enjoyed it! It doesn't make my face greasy and is a really good consistency as I don't like moisturisers if they become tacky.

Just what my skin needed

I had previously been using the ginger moisturiser (which I also love) but decided to give this a go for a change (and to help my drier winter skin) and love it. I use it as a day cream and find it sinks in quickly leaving no greasy residue just healthy, moisturised skin. I also love that it's in a pot rather than a tube as I can regulate how much I need to use with no wasted product. This was the one thing I wasn't so keen on with the ginger moisturiser-I would often squeeze too much out and then have no choice but to wash it away. Another plus is that it hasn't caused any breakouts (am prone to them around my jaw area) or sensitivity around my eyes. In the summer when my skin's not so dry I can see me using this as a night cream rather than a day cream and will turn back to the ginger moisturiser for daytime use.

Where to start?

Trying two of your serums after reading a review in The Guardian in the summer, I have continued ordering a number of the other Q+A products - and love each of them. With maturing skin, but without any particular skin problems, my skin has become firmer, smoother and softer. What a difference to many prime brand products. Q+A serums, charcoal mask and the collagen and 5-HTP creams are now part of my regular skin routine and Q+A has earned a very loyal customer. Your products are beautiful. Can't wait for any additions to the range!

A real revelation

The face and neck cream together with the peptide facial serum has made a noticeable difference to my skin. It is smoother and firmer and my neck, which I was beginning to get concerned about, has had a new lease of life. I have used many creams over the years and this is the only one that has made a difference.
