This night cream is packed with skin-loving ingredients. Clary sage soothes and balances the skin, while aloe vera provides instant hydration and helps reduce irritation. Shea butter and jojoba oil form a protective barrier that locks in moisture, keeping your skin soft and supple throughout the night.
The hero ingredient, clary sage, is known for its calming and balancing properties. Paired with Burt's Bees' exclusive Royal Jelly, this night cream aims to soothe dry, dehydrated skin. While the ingredients list is certainly impressive, I found the cream to be a bit too thick for my preference. It sat heavily on my skin and I must admit it took some effort to spread and absorb.
Pros:
* Intensely hydrates and nourishes the skin
* Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
* Calming and invigorating herbal scent
* 98.9% natural ingredients
* Cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified
Cons:
* May not be suitable for combination, oily or acne-prone skin
* Consistency too thick
Despite my initial concerns, I was surprised by the results. After a few nights of diligent application, my skin felt noticeably softer and smoother. However, I cannot overlook the strong scent. It's pleasant enough, but its intensity could be overpowering for some.
Ultimately, while Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream with Clary Sage delivers on its hydrating promises, its thick consistency and overpowering scent may be drawbacks for some users. If you're looking for an effective overnight moisturizer with a subtle fragrance, there might be better options out there. However, if you're not bothered by a bit of thickness and prefer a potent aroma, this cream may be worth considering.
