Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Velvet Luminescence Moisturizing Cream
Size: 50 ml / 1.7 oz
A feather-light and velvety cream that melts into the skin. Hydra Sparkling Velvet Luminescence Moisturizing Cream reinvents the very concept of hydration with the innovation of a truly new water organization around and within cells. The formula is tremendously soft and comfortable with a non-greasy and non-sticky finish. The 5-molecule complex is capable of constantly generating the effervescence of sparkling water deep within the skin, to maximize moisture added to the skin and empower it with full sparkling energy for an intense luminescent result.
HYDRA SPARKLING contains Sparkling Water Complex® (SWC®), a unique, patented and concentrated, five-molecule compound with twofold hydrating and energizing technology* that recreates the 'effervescence of sparkling water' deep within the skin, for a dazzling, illuminating effect.
This light yet, hydrating cream contains a combination of Sparkling Water Complex® plus other ingredients to moisturize drier areas of the face while keeping shine at bay in areas like the T-zone.
Recommended for normal to combination skin types.

VERDICT
Feather-Light ✅, Velvety ✅, Soft and Comfortable ✅, Non-Greasy and Non-Sticky ✅, Luminescent ✅
I LOVE this cream. It does everything it claims to do to give you beautifully hydrated radiant and healthy looking skin. It sinks in beautifully and isn't heavy, greasy, or sticky in the slightest. It was super lightweight yet moisturizing and left my face feeling amazingly velvety soft and smooth. I couldn't stop stroking my own face because it felt so nice...all day long. The way it feels right after application...that lasts the entire day and doesn't diminish in any way. At the end of the day my face felt pretty much the exact same as it did at the beginning of my day when I first applied it. Same goes for how it looked. True to it's name, this gives you a beautiful satiny soft intense yet still natural looking healthy radiant glow...a velvet luminescence. It's not super dewy or flashy or anything like that, but rather a nice velvety satin-y healthy looking lit from within radiance which also lasts all day long. That radiant glow is just as beautiful at the end of the day as it was at the beginning of the day.
My only "con" for this product is the packaging...not a fan of potted products, and how expensive it is. It wasn't as expensive as I was expecting it to be, but it's still up there...but still totally worth it. I think of all the moisturizers/facial creams that I've tried thus far this is by far my favorite...and I hate that I've fallen in love with a cream that is so expensive, but I guess there's no going back now. I've fallen...and I've fallen hard. In fact I am now dying to try out the entire line (you can't see my face right now, but I'm cringing at the thought of how much that would be as I write this). If you can swing the up there price tag then I would definitely recommend that you check it out because your skin will thank you...even if your wallet will not.
BTW...for those of you with dry skin, I noticed they have a separate version of this for dry skin. I personally haven't tried that one, but wanted to throw that out there.
