   I don’t get the negative reviews here – true this isn’t a miracle worker BUT it is the best cream I’ve found so far and I’ve used many.

   For £55, in one pot, you get a truly effective day and night cream, plus the best eye cream I’ve ever found (I believe the FI range is newly including an eye cream but I feel that’s a completely unnecessary purchase).I’ve used it ever since it came out 18 months ago. I’m a young-looking 51 with light under-eye lines but this has noticeably lessened them – the only eye cream that has been measurably more effective in this than any other. Prior to this my favourite was the very expensive Clarins Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate but it’s nothing in comparison.

   I’ve noticed smoother, very moisturised skin that somehow looks more polished, and lines decreased all over my face. I have slightly oily skin so my one gripe is that this leaves a slightly dewy, sticky finish – BUT it’s not terrible and it’s totally worth it (and I’m saying that as someone who hates dewy/sticky).

   The only thing you have to add before MU in my opinion is an SPF – Clarins UV Plus Day Screen Multi-Protection SPF 50 works well with it as the texture is so fine.

   I can’t believe the negative reviews on this product. It is quite simply fabulous.
   It evens skin tone, tightens crepey skin, and plumps and really softens fine lines.
   Under eye area which has always been a major concern is now no longer an issue. At 40plus and not a chemical or botox fan Neals Yard has come up with a genuine, natural and effective alternative.
   I use many Neals Yard products, they are a pleasure and they deliver.

   Disappointed in this , for me it just didn’t do anything different to any other moisturiser . It sounded amazing from its anti ageing line reducing moisturising claims but i didn’t find it made any difference to my skin and I gave it a good shot and bought it twice . Will definately not re buy , I prefer the Neal’s yard frankincense nourishing cream which is half the price .

   I wanted to like this cream since it’s a bit expensive, but it makes my face break out really bad. Otherwise, it’s okay. Moisturizes well, and has a pleasant smell, but I don’t feel like it’s anything special.

   Oh…..how I wish I could love this but sadly I was left disappointed and a big hole in my pocket. It is so expensive and I could have been happy if it could at least perform a third of its claims. It is just a mediocre diluted cream that it is no better than any drugstore moisturizers.

   I tried almost the entire Neal’s Yard Frankincese range aboout 4 years ago for over 2 years and was disappointed in the end. When its Frankincense Intense came out and claimed 100% of visible fine lines and wrinkles reduction I decided to give it another go. However, what a waste of £50 on a jar of cream which does merely moisturising! 90% of the cream in the jar is used and I couldnot see any changes at all on my lines and wrinkles. I have got combination and somewhat sensitive oriental skin. I am in my early 40’s although my skin appears more youthful than my age.
   This Frankincense Intense is slightly oily which is not good to use in the day unless your skin is really dry. So better to use it as a night cream.
   It is though gentle enough not to make my skin react in a bad way such as itchy, sting or red as most of the moisturiser I have tried.
   Overall for me it is not working and it is too pricy for something that only does moisturising job.

   First of all I am a person who is usually happy that a moisturizing cream does not break out or produce rashes on my extra sensitive skin. I have very picky complexion in terms of having to use pure, natural and few ingredients or my skin will not be happy or look happy.

   I was curious when I heard about this new anti-aging moisturizer but also hesitant because I thought it might be too complex for my skin. I am 38, with no wrinkles but maybe a hint of fine lines. I look tired most of the time because I _am_ tired and never get enough rest or sleep. So my complexion does not look my age but I have noticed lately that I have days that my skin looks sallow, dull and lacking tone.

   So enter this cream. I never expected it to do anything more than moisturize adequately, maybe be a bit more moisturizing than the normal Frankincense Nourishing Cream and hopefully not break me out. And with that I would be happy. What I got though is so far more….unbelievably more. Within a few weeks of use and even from the very first days, I noticed that my skin always looks bright and rested, the way you look when you are on holidays and are able to sleep twice a day.I have a healthy glow from within. I feel like my face is also fuller, I have a more youthful and healthy volume and do not look gaunt or lacking tone.

   Now my fine lines…The few I had ( between the brows, tiny next to eyes ) are GONE and even when I laugh, I barely have any lines forming under my eyes. It is like my skin has plumped up.

   I am not going to go into details about its consistency and how it smells. This company always produces products that smell natural so this is not a surprise. Frankly, even if it smelled like my brothers’ teenage room I would still love it because it is simply amazing and it delivers what it promises.

   I just hope this continues to work this way. if it does and they do not change a thing in its ingredients and if my skin does not go all weird on me, then I am sold for life. I will never, ever buy another cream. Ever. It is _that_ remarkable and I am not an easy person to please.

   Neal’s Yard, please do not change a thing. Thank you for this amazing product.
