Review: Sophyto Omega Daily Moisturiser


I have been using Antipodes Rejoice cream for months, it's my 2nd tube and that little beauty goes a long way. As you would expect of a blogger I get lured away from my favourites with the temptation of a review. I lose track of when I buy things but a while ago I picked up a double pack of Sophtyo Omega Daily Moisturiser for the bargain price of £12.99 in TK Maxx. I have previously reviewed their Tocotrienol Super Skin Concentrate and Purifying Silken Cleanser, both of which I enjoyed using but admit I have not repurchased. 

The Omega cream is currently sitting unloved in the bathroom. I have to say, this is not floating my boat in any way. It’s not a horrid cream. It’s just average in comparison to my beloved Antipodes and Dr Organic. I cannot say I have noticed any amazing difference in my skin nor am I particularly enamoured about the unusual scent. I was surprised because I would have thought peony flower would give an interesting floral aroma. 

This cream promises – “Optimum levels of nourishing fatty acids and deep hydrating agents help to maintain a supple, smoother looking complexion for dry, irritated skin conditions. A fast absorbing formula that includes botanical actives to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin's elasticity. Contains a built-in primer for flawless make up application.” 

I would describe this cream as lightweight so I do wonder if it would get me through the winter months when my skin is at its driest. It certainly did leave my skin soft with no obvious signs of irritation. I did not use it long enough to see if it lives up to the claim about fine lines. The website suggests this cream can also be used by men. I like that the brand markets to both genders but I know, after reviewing the cleanser, some of you said that you find it off putting.

Overall, I never think a moisturiser is awful it’s just a case of it not suiting your needs and this one falls short for me. Everyone is different and I would like to say the brand ingredients and ethics are jolly good in comparison to their mainstream competitors. Anyone else tried this?
