My Experience

Looking at the ingredients list, the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream has some great standout nourishing, balancing, brightening, soothing and well-ageing inclusions such as Niacinamide, Squalane, Rice Protein, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP, and Peptides to name a few. However, it does contain some fragrant components and artificial fragrance which I think it can do without.

Although I liked the sound of most of the ingredients list, I still didn’t expect much of the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream, mostly because I’ve been away from Western skincare brands for a while but I ended up enjoying it and it reminds me a smidge of the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream (I’ve noticed I tend to like the texture of creams that contain Squalane).

The IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream is quite a nice standard cream that moisturises my skin really well and leaves it feeling quite soothed and refreshed at the same time. As soon as I apply it my skin feels relieved as if it’s thanking me for quenching its thirst. It doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy residue behind and absorbs well leaving my skin feeling soft and supple.

I’d recommend the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream to dry and combination skin types and anyone looking for a good well-aging cream to keep their skin nourished and soft. It also comes in a variety of sizes so you can try out a smaller size first to see if you like it before committing to the full size.

Where to buy: LOOK FANTASTIC / BOOTS
