Smells divine. Lovely consistency. Gave plumpness to the skin therefore giving the skin a nice healthy glow. Left the skin extremely soft, especially on waking up in the morning.

I received my order and I can honestly say it was very professionally packaged. I like that the moisturiser is in a pump, rather than having to stick your fingers in there. I also like that toner being a spray/mist. The actual packaging/box that it came in was lovely too…. All very nicely done with the tissue paper and the instructions/ingredients of each product was great. It looks to me as though it’s all been very well thought out…. I am very pleased with all of it. Oh, and I must say 1 more thing…. The moisturiser smells divine.

I have now almost used up one of each 5ml sample pot (fragranced & unfragranced) of M4 cream and they are both so lovely I still cannot decide between them. It is thick and creamy, absorbs into the skin extremely well & leaves the skin feeling very refreshed. It is completely non greasy. The fragrance is a very light mandarin essential oil (not too flowery which is something I hate) and smells as refreshing as it feels. The unfragranced really is as scentless as it is possible to be, no funny smells to report, so I think they may have updated it since the other reviews. It still feels so refreshing on the skin that I haven't even missed the fragrance, as I used up the fragranced pot first. I really am going to struggle to decide which to buy when I upgrade to a full size pot. I like the idea of the airless containers (although not experienced yet) which will help the ascorbic acid and other active ingredients stay fresh/active for longer. Each 5ml sample pot has lasted me a fortnight, applying relatively sparingly around the eyes, forehead and cheeks once or twice a day, so *in theory* a 50ml pot should last 4 or 5 months. I just hope you can control how much comes out of the airless container at a time. As for the anti-ageing factor, I don't have any wrinkles, just a few fine lines around the forehead and eyes. I haven't noticed any difference to these (although my frown & smile lines are in constant use) but hopefully this cream will hold off any future wrinkles.

I have to say I love the cream! The texture of it is perfect for my combination skin , I generally use a gel texture and find its a little lacking on my drier parts . But the texture of this product is perfect for the oily parts as well as the drier bits! I love how it melts into the skin , leaving it feeling super soft . I noticed 3 days into the trial my skin felt and looked more supple, and dare I say my skin tone looked much more even! It found a little went a long way, which is always good! I love how my skin feels when I've used the moisturiser, and would definitely recommended to my friends!

First of all, I have really dry skin but still by hook or by crook manage to get blackheads :-( I haven't used a mosituriser all that often in the past so I'm certainly no expert (I'm a man in my late thirties and my wife got a sample of this to try for free). Anyway - I think it feels really great. I've used a Nivea before and that was really thin and watery, this is quite a heavy-set thick moisturiser. It goes on great and I'd like to think it's improved a couple of heavy-looking lines I have around my cheeks. I've not tried the exfoliator yet but that's next on the list. .

You only need to use a tiny amount, I have been using it on my face and also on my elbows (I get really dry elbows in the winter). Even using it once a day for a week I still have plenty left :) The cream is lovely to apply, it's non greasy and as well as feeling moisturising it feels very refreshing. I love the fact it made with argan oil as I am a massive fan of anything with this ingredient!

I struggled with pigmentation since having my little boy and I like the quickness of a built in SPF to help keep this light!
