Oriflame Ecobeauty Smoothing Day Cream Review
The Ecobeauty day cream is dispensed through a pump at the top of the cylinder bottle and the first thing I noticed was its scent. Although Oriflame state that the range is free from synthetic fragrance the day cream has a distinct scent that I can still detect for an hour or two after applying. Its texture seems rich and creamy but once rubbed into the skin it feels light and the dry areas of my skin are much softer. I would say that it feels more like a primer on my skin than a day cream. I love that its paraben free! It’s great to see that Oriflame have moved towards developing products that contain fewer chemicals. However, I personally find the scent a little too much as I am used to day creams with little or no fragrance.
