Review: Merlot Moisturizer and Merlot Moonlight Radiance Night Cream

I always try and find the best things to say when reviewing a product. However, I also feel that when I am given a product to review I need to honestly say how the product performs. And I also need to feel the need to give something back to the people who gave me the products. So it is a catch 22. This is the nature of blogging.

Merlot Moisturizer

Red wine phenols are a popular ingredient in moisturizers at the moment. These anti-oxidants have the incredible ability to help inhibit the aging process. Used regularly, this Merlot Moisturizer Cream should be a good choice in fighting off free radicals that cause fine lines and wrinkles. It has an added SPF 15 from Zinc Oxide, a great mineral sunscreen that anyone can use. This moisturizer is light and non-oily, great for all skin types and can also be used to help prime the skin.

 

4 oz.  $11.39

This formula helps to keep moisture in the skin and skins stays hydrated and looking healthy. It is also a lighter formula for all skin types, has no lanolin or mineral oil, restore’s the skin’s pH balance, ArgirelineTM helps reduce wrinkle depth and Matrixyl-3000TM works to restore the skin.

The review below is a good honest look at these two creams. I liked them okay but I saw more of a difference with the night cream over the day cream I think. I am not sure if it is because there was not enough of the active ingredients or what. This is the second set of products I have tried with the active ingredient being red wine phenol. I used them for several weeks, as I usually do. I do like that they are very light and sink right into the skin. The Merlot Moisturizer day cream is okay as a light moisturizer and a primer but I would not recommend it for dry to very dry skins, as it is not heavy and emollient enough. The night cream didn’t make more of a difference in my skin. I am honestly one of those people who thinks that Matrixyl-3000TM doesn’t really do much for aging skin. The Moonlight Radiance Night Cream is also very light and absorbs right into the skin, which is nice but I would not recommend it for those with dry to very dry skins. They are nice enough to make light moisturizers and the ArgirelineTM is a good ingredient to have, it works well. I am not one of those completely convinced in the powder of red wine phenols yet. The price range is good. There are more products in the range: eye cream, microdermabrasion cream, etc. I am hoping that some of the other products perform as well if not better.
