Everything you need to know about Q+A 5-HTP Face & Neck Cream

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.

Boosted review after a month of use

I previously left a review giving this cream only 4 stars as it wasn't enough for my very dry skin. However after using it for a month or so I can truly say I have been very surprised by the results. The fine lines on my forehead have smoothed out considerably and my skin looks fresh and happier than it has done for a while. Although I still need to combine the cream with oils to last me through the day, I don't need as much oil now as my skin is more hydrated. Fab cream, would highly recommend even if you have dry skin (as long as you are prepared to pair it with an oil or maybe a serum).

Simpler to use

I bought his a month ago and am pleased with the effects it is having on my skin. I love the easy to use process. However, the smell is a take it or leave it.. product does not seem to glide on face very well either.. I am still happy with it tho!

Fabulous find

I saw this product advertised in a magazine. Loved the simple questionnaire that tailored the product to my skincare needs. Requested the product for Christmas off my daughter as I thought it was reasonably priced for a gift and a fab present to start a New Year beauty regime . Each product is easy to use and I am delighted how it makes my skin feel .. particularly the ginger root daily moisturiser. Already told friends and family about it .

Beautiful cream

I started using this two weeks ago. It has the perfect balance of being moisturising and not too thick. My skin is a pain (adult acne and eczema) and this moisturiser works perfectly to keep my skin moisturised but no outbreaks

My skin glows!

I bought this cream a couple of months ago and never looked back! Even during the winter when my skin tends to get dry, this cream has left it looking glowing and smooth. I love it
