Bel Essence Intensive Anti-Wrinkle and Anti-Aging Treatment Facial Lift Skin Care Formula Cream, 1.5 Ounce

I'm a 31 year old male. One Sunday at church, my friend was laughing and I noticed lines around his eyes. He's 29. At that moment, I realized I needed to try and prolong my youthful appearance for as long as possible. I bought some Clarin's Double Serum. It's expensive. I used that for a while and liked the results. I used about a bottle of that a month for around five months. Again, it's expensive. Decided to try this out because of the reviews and the cost. Best decision I've made in a while. The seller set me up with a promotional free bottle after my first bottle too. No hoops to jump through, just solid customer service.I have sensitive, oily skin. Teenage acne scars. I'm hesitant to put moisturizing products on my face because of my oily skin. I don't want acne either. At first, I thought this would make my skin more oily. So I tried a little bit at a time. It doesn't make my skin more oily or shiny. I don't know how, but it doesn't. It absorbs the oil and shine on my face somehow. I use it in the morning before work, sometimes after work when I wash my face and then right before bed.Seriously, it works better than Clarin's Double Serum. It doesn't have an overpowering smell. It's pretty much odorless in my opinion. It makes my skin look bright and healthy. Not all old and worn out. Doesn't make my skin feel oily at all. I've been using it for a few weeks and I can definitely notice a difference in the way my skin feels. It feels very smooth and soft. It's a solid product and for the price, it's absolutely worth it. If you buy it from the same seller I bought it from, all the better.I don't write reviews too often, so I hope this review helps you with your purchase. If you suffer from acne, look into pantothenic acid.

I always read reviews prior to buying skin-care products but oddly, all of the reviews were on amazon. I cannot find 'bel essence' in stores and the label looks a bit home-made. That said, there were a ton of positive reviews through amazon and some customers said they use it after rolling their skin with a dermaroller (I bought one too) so I ordered it.I'm in my early 30s and don't have much in the way of wrinkles but I'm sure to put lotion or cream on my face every night and each morning because I don't WANT wrinkles. I do have a few on my forehead from raising my eyebrows.I use this cream at night and it is extremely thick. A little goes a long way (which is fantastic) and it smells really nice -- kind of 'nutty'. If you look at the ingredients you'll see it's all natural which is also nice (paraben free). I wanted to wait a little while before writing a review and I never know if some results are psychosomatic which is why I didn't want to review the cream right away. Although it feels great and doesn't absorb right away -- which for me is a positive -- I'm not sure if I can tell if there's a difference. My husband says my skin looks great and I certainly haven't had any type of negative reaction which is why I'm giving this five stars. My skin FEELS great after using it and I had no problems using it right after the dermaroller.I typically don't have bad reactions to lotions except on my hands. I'm not sure what causes it - my dermatologist doesn't know - but quite a lot of creams and lotions react strongly with my hands which is why I'll occasionally try face products on them, just to see if I have a reaction. Believe it or not, my hands can tolerate Bel Essence so I'll even use it on my knuckles and on the back of my hands before bed since I can trust it.It's a little expensive but it's worth trying. I'm going to keep using it and if I do notice any change, I'll update my review. I'm wearing it now. I smell great. :)

I found out that this cream may very well be natural- made with botanicals and all natural ingredients, BUT, it gave me a red rash and red cheeks. Ouch!

I never write reviews for amazon, but for this cream I had to. Somewhat of funny backstory...My girlfriend handles all facial/body products that come through my apartment, whereas I'm the family Amazonian. Before we dated, I had a shampoo that was also a body wash. I had one other product, a Neutrogena face wash. The general motif which I'm trying to convey is Spartan, less is more. When she came through, things just started appearing everywhere. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash for different days and scenarios, different facial scrubs (some using mud) and all sorts of completely random stuff you would not expect in a 25 year old man's apartment. She also gave to me a wrinkle cream for around my eyes. She was like "surprise! I got you this awesome eye wrinkle cream completely out of the blue!" and what she didn't say was... hint, hint, you're starting to get wrinkles around your eyes.She was right, I was starting to get wrinkles around my eyes. That was a sad moment of truth, when you start to realize that your body isn't that bastion of youth anymore. Anyhow, I'm using this wrinkle cream for a month and it barely works. Not only that, but it was giving me acne around my eyes. So I decided to use my amazon skills to figure out what to buy. I didn't know anything about these companies because I had never used them and quite frankly, I didn't really care to know much about them. I typed in Eye wrinkle cream, sorted by average review, and this Bel Essence cream was right at the top. I thought to myself, well 30 dollars is a lot of shekels to pay for a little thing of eye cream..... But after looking through the reviews I was confident it was actually a great product.So several days later it arrives. I bring it upstairs and my girlfriend immediately scoffs at me. She doesn't even look at the thing, she pretty much just tells me I know nothing about these things (fact), and that it's probably made in china next to an irradiated land fill (that's false people!). I decided in that moment that a gentleman's agreement between us would settle it. If this cream doesn't work, I will always defer to you first in these matters and never make another purchase of this sort again. What she didn't know was that even if I lost, it was still a win for me because if I didn't have to buy another facial product again I would be okay with that.With the game afoot, and the smug look on her face, I decided that I was going to go balls to the wall and really apply it consistently, two times a day (sometimes three). I was planning on playing the long game here, but I was genuinely surprised. A few days later, I thought the wrinkles were going away. It couldn't be, I thought, I just started using this stuff... A week goes by and there's definite reduction in wrinkle around my eyes. I'm currently at a month of using it and the wrinkles around my eyes are all but gone. I wish I could show pictures of the before and after, because it's really a huge difference. The girlfriend even made comments about it. It was a brief moment of sweet, sweet victory, even if she did that woman thing where she wouldn't concede. Doesn't really matter, where this is concerned, I just keep a smile on my face when using it and I know that she know's who wears the pants where facial products are concerned ;). In retrospect, I'm pretty sure she just pulled some inception like moves on me to make me wear the facial cream every day......... =DAll of that aside, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's one of those hidden gems that you find on amazon!

Skin Type: Fair to Medium, normal to dry in places (T-zone dryness)Wrinkles: Mild forehead wrinkles, furrows (between eyebrows) are moderate, very mild crows feet. None anywhere else. Nonsmoker.Duration of Use: One month on an average of once per day (sometimes twice) No negative side effects (rash, breakout, etc.)Opinion: It goes on smoothly, but feels a little greasy. A little goes a long way. There is a faint vanilla smell that is pleasant. It does absorb quickly. After using regularly for a month I see no difference in wrinkle appearance and very little improvement in skin dryness. I cannot justify buying this again for this price when Aveeno Daily Moisturizer works just as well, or maybe even better. I'm not saying its 'junk' because it appears to be of some quality. However, too expensive for a moisturizer that is just as good as something else for half the price. As mentioned, I see absolutely no improvement in wrinkle appearance and mine aren't even all that bad or noticeable. I won't buy this again but will use what's left as it does have a pleasant smell and leaves skin feeling smooth.
