L'Occitane Divine Cream ?

[BeaLola]

Was wondering if this is worth the hype ?

I really like it. It's a bit scented, but I do like that too.

Having said that I have to budget down and am using something different and my skin looks pretty much the same.
I think.
I hope...

It is very good......but it smells like wee/dirty dish cloths.

I sent my first pot back thinking I'd got one that had had the seal broken or something.

They were lovely and sent me a new one. Which still smelled like the cat had widdled in it.

The one in the blue pot with the silver lid (Immortelle I think) smells much nicer and is IMO a nicer texture.

They are very very good though.

Ottilia, what are you using instead?

Superfacialist Night Rose Cream from Boots. £16.

Very nice it is too.

Doesn't have the smoothness of Creme Divine. Funny I get a lemony smell from it.

I've only read bad reviews of it tbh. An ok cream that is overly scented and overpriced.

I know the Paula's Choice site gave it a terrible rating.

Does Paula recommend her own cream instead?
Beauty Bible gives it top marks, but I prefer Neals Yard Frankincense.

I agree with DrankSangria, have tried the Immortelle and the Divine Cream and think the Immortelle is much nicer.

DrankSangria- i was wondering that too re Paula's Choice

I had a couple of sample sachets and didn't like it. Too heavy/greasy for my liking.

It really irritated my skin, which is not generally sensitive. It is quite heavy, too, so probably only suitable as a night cream. I was very disappointed, but I should know by now that very little in the beauty world Iives up to the hype.

I went abroad a couple of years ago and took acouple ofsachets of this to save space. i had a really bad reaction in the sunlight I looked like the elephant man!
I don't normally have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction to any cream before.

Thank you,i don't think I will. Be rushing too try it out. Need to find a good cream to roll back the tears ??

Should have read Years .... Ipad ,

Bea- check out NY Frankincense, seriously, it's amazing. It's the one I go back to after buying all the others that get recommended. I haven't tried the new Frankincense Intense yet (which costs a bit less than the Divine) but the original (they do 2 kinds, "nourishing" for dry skin and "hydrating" for normal) is just wonderful. Costs about £30 I think, but you can pick it up on ebay for less, and NY do sachets to try out, so you can buy a handful of those from ebay.

DrankSangria do you use the 'nourishing' NYFrankinsence or the 'hydrating' one?
TBH I have used NYF and didn't rebuy as I didn't notice any difference in my skin.

Nourishing. Am just about to reorder as have nearly finished my Elemis, which, sadly, despite smelling lovely, is no longer rich enough for this old face

Thank you.

I too think it smells of wee!
