Conventional skin-care norms tell us to use separate products for the face and body, but why not free up some space on your vanity and combine them into one? Whish has done just that with its Super Cream, a supercharged moisturizing treatment with age-defying benefits.
The Benefits
Many of us forget to give the skin on our bodies the same attention we give our faces, but doing so can make a world of difference. Not only in the way your skin feels, but also how it looks. Dry skin takes on a rough and/or crepey appearance over time, whereas hydrated skin looks more youthful.
This rich, nongreasy cream elevates your basic, everyday moisturizer by infusing it with bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol. This ingredient works in tandem with coffee seed extract to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. And with this formula, you can get those benefits on both your face and body. Because let’s face it, as we age, our aesthetic concerns don’t stop at our chin. There’s the stubborn creases above the knees, the rough skin on the backs of the arms—the list goes on.
The addition of skin-care multitasker niacinamide helps prevent moisture loss and nourishes the skin. Other noteworthy ingredients include deeply moisturizing olive oil, soothing allantoin and brightening kalahari melon seed oil. This cream is packed to the brim with efficacious, good-for-your-skin ingredients. It’s a double-duty heavy-hitter that will upgrade any skin-care routine.
The Scent
Super Cream also comes in three different scents to suit individual moods and preferences. Pink Champagne smells like, you guessed it, sweet, sparkling champagne. This one is my personal favorite, and is great for use any time of day. Lavender Noir is a new scent from Whish, and the brand recommends using it at night for a calming effect. Bright Citrus is another new scent that’s meant for morning use to energize and uplift. It’s a nice way to start the day!
