I have always liked Trish McEvoy products so I was very excited to try out her latest cream. I have extremely dry, sensitive skin so I am as careful as can be when trying anything new. I can only use gluten and fragrance free products due to allergies, typically trying to avoid excessive botanical ingredients as well because so many things can cause irritation for skin. I waited awhile to write this review because I really wanted to get a sense of whether I would truly continue using this as my new go to night cream.I tried this out on one cheek only for several days in a row initially to make sure this wouldn't cause a reaction and thankfully, my skin looked completely fine, no bumps, no redness. I can't say this cream has made my skin look significantly different as compared to when I used my go to dynamic skin retinol serum by another favorite brand of mine. It would take me even more time to fully understand if this is better than the other, but I can say they seem to be comparable which is good. I was a little struck by the fact that this night cream includes Vitamin C because I have always thought of that as a morning skin ingredient. I don't typically use it at night, but I guess they think it is fine because it is included here. The only ingredient I am not a fan of in this particular formula is the inclusion of caffeine. I am probably the only person on earth who is as sensitive to caffeine as I am, but I find that when I wear it at night in my skincare routine, I don't sleep as well...call me crazy because I am sure it sounds that way to most everyone, but for me, since I don't ingest caffeine and am super sensitive, it does seem to have some kind of energizing effect on me. So, overall I really like this night cream and think it is absolutely worth trying--thrilled that it is fragrance free and I do like the little jar pump dispenser. I am going to continue using it just to see if it makes a marked difference in my skin's appearance by the end of the jar...because it really will have to for me to want to reorder. And if I do end up reordering, I will absolutely update and upgrade this review to five stars.
