Review: Weleda Pomegranate Firming Day Cream and Night Cream

Night Cream

I used to have one moisturizer that I used mainly at night. At the time, I lived in a fairly humid climate. When I moved to drier climates, I found that I had to adjust my skin care routine, especially in the winter. Companies like Weleda make it easy to choose lotions for day and night, offering several sets for different skin types. They offer a pair of Pomegranate Firming Day Cream and corresponding Night Cream, designed for mature skin.

Pros:

• Lovely scent
• Leaves skin feeling soft and supple
• Very hydrating formulas
• A little goes a long way
• Retail availability

Cons:

• Moderately priced ($33 and $37) 

Day Cream

Summary:
This pair comes in the same scent and shares many common ingredients, but there is one key difference: the night cream is more hydrating. I would call it "intensely hydrating," as I've currently been using their day cream alone as a night moisturizer in drier winter for my normal/combination skin. I put it on at night and leaves my skin plump but not oily. In the morning, my skin feels very soft and supple.

On the EWG Skin Deep database, both the day cream and the night cream rank a moderate to high 5. This was due to the use of fragrance (though EWG doesn't account for the non-synthetic version included here) as well as other ingredients, such as limonene, linalool, and others (mainly occurring from essential oils), so I suspect this is exaggerated by probably 1-2 points. Both products are vegan, and day cream is gluten-free but night cream is not.

At around $33-$37 each, you might want to see if you can find these locally to save on shipping. While not as expensive as luxury creams, these are more expensive than some creams but definitely effective. I don't have a lot of wrinkles so I couldn't test for sure, but my skin does feel more plump and hydrated after use. If you're looking for a day/night set of firming lotions, these creams are a nice option.
