Love love love this product! I am always trying new skincare products and this is honestly one of the best night creams I have ever tried. It goes on light, has a fresh clean scent and best of all, it works. My skin felt tighter and smoother almost immediately. I'm so happy I was chosen to test this product.
I've been using this for about 4 days now and the first 2 days were great. My skin looked so smooth. But now my skin has decided it's not a fan of this system. I notice my skin still feels and looks dry. When I try and apply makeup you can see how dry my skin looks.
I've got one break out and this is the only thing that has changed in my skin care routine. I also have more dry patches, most noticible on my temples and on my jaw line.
The fragrance isn't too strong but if you have sensitive skin then it may not work for you. My skin is slightly sensitive and I have noticed more redness in my cheeks.
Personally, I wouldn't purchase this. I'm going to keep using it for a few more days to see if my skin decides to like it again, but as of now, I am on the fence. Everyone has different reactions though, I can see if you had a more normal skin type that wasn't sensitive, it would work for you.
So it's almost been a month since I received this and I've been using it every night. Over time my skin got used to the fragrance in the system. At first though, it felt irritating.
I use the serum, then a vitamin e cream, and then I seal it with the skin sleep gel. I didn't find it moisturizing enough for my dry skin, so I added the vitamin e. When I wake up, my skin still has some dry flakes here and there, but it definitely has improved since I first started using this.
Would I purchase this when it runs out? Probably not. But I really appreciate being able to test this out first hand and in full size!
I've been using the Skin Sleep for about a week now, and I am pleasantly surprised! I haven't found a night-time moisturizer I love because I often find them too thick, and I just feel gross after I put it on. This is not the case at all with the Idealia Skin Sleep! It has a really lovely soft smell, and the texture is a bit like a cream/gel. It feels so moisturizing to put on, but then absorbs well.
I have a toddler that sometimes still gets up at night, so any little help to make me feel/look refreshed in the morning is welcome. In the mornings my skin definitely has felt moisturized.
The lid of the jar also has a mirror which is a nice touch. Not that I've used the mirror on the jar, but it just adds to using a product that feels so great.

Amazing! I have very dry skin and have been looking for any skin care products that could help me with my issues. This night gel balm does wonders. I don't have to cake on the product to get the effectiveness of the moisture, I just use a pea size amount after I wash my face and it does the job- vs. my clinique night cream that I need to add a quarter size amount to do this much moisturizing. I don't think I need to look for a product for my dry skin again- because I found it! Its paraben-free and smells like a dream which is just an added bonus.
I was immediately impressed with the appearance of this product; the packaging was very appealing and made the product look very high-end (the lid acting as a mirror was a nice touch too).
As for the effects of this product, I'm very pleased. I work a lot and sometimes don't get much sleep and it always shows. This product was a great remedy for masking this. I have noticed since using this product my skin looks fresh and glowing and my eyes don't look so tired and dark. This is really great as I no longer have to rely so heavily on makeup to cover the skin problems I was experiencing.
Application wise, the product goes on smoothly. The cream isn't too creamy or heavy and my skin can easily breathe with it on. The only thing I don't like is that the product seems to sit on my skin all night. I find face cream is usually easily absorbed by my skin, but when I cleanse my face in the morning I can feel this product being washed off. However, I've not ever used this type of product before so I'm not sure if this is normal.
I don't usually buy expensive higher end skin products for my face, but this product has convinced me that it is worth it. I will likely replace this product once I run out.

Pardon my star-ratings. I had no idea what to fill in there, as I really didn't get a chance to even try the product. Here's my story:
I was so extremely beyond excited to be chosen to trial this product by ChickAdvisor! I ran to my mailbox every day, so eager for it to arrive. My super-sensitive skin is endlessly trying new products in hopes of finding the solution to its multiple problems (aging, acne, dryness, oiliness, general grossness). While I waited for my package to arrive, I read everything I could about the product and I was sure it would be the answer to my prayers. I was especially encouraged by the claim it is for "all skin types". Yippee!!
When it finally arrived, I tore into that package and had at it. I love the packaging. Very pretty. Though I must confess, I am never fond of cream in jars. The ingredients can't stay stable in a jar, plus the idea of sticking my finger in there every day is gross.....yes I wash my hands, but you just never know what might be left behind.
As always, because my skin is so sensitive, I test new products on my hand. If my skin is going to react, it is much better to have the rash on my hand than on my face! I smoothed some on and wow, it felt like a dream. The spot I moisturized felt softer than I ever thought possible. And no itching!! BUT.
The scent. Ooohhhhhh, the scent. I'm sure it's a lovely scent, and that many people don't mind it. I, however, developed a migraine within MINUTES of putting the product on my hand. I then spent at least half an hour trying to scrub it off. It was awful.
I'm not quite sure why they would scent the product so heavily, especially in this day and age where scented products are discouraged in most places due to the high number of people with sensitivities to them. I was heartbroken to have found something that felt so good on my skin and didn't cause a reaction, only to be bowled over by the scent. It's really unfortunate.
Dear skin care companies: Please make unscented versions of your creams and potions so all of us can have beautiful skin!
I have a friend who is unbothered by scented products, so she is the lucky recipient of my jar of Skin Sleep.
Attractive packaging. Very creamy texture, absorbs quickly and no greasy feel. Pleasant smell. Skin feels very soft and looks luminous. I have been using this product for one week now and am pleased with the results.
The packaging is amazing. I love the pink and the glass bottle makes it feel luxurious.
The first time I used it, I instantly noticed my skin feeling tighter and more firm.
After a few used my skin feels amazing. Its never been smoother and more radient.
It also smells light and clean! This is a product I definitely will be purchasing.
I'm really impressed with the packaging of this night cream - it's quite hefty and feels luxurious. The moisturizer itself smells very sweet, almost like pomegranate and berries, but it dissipates quite quickly so it shouldn't bother you too much.
As for effectiveness, I really like how it makes my skin feel! As soon as I put it on, my skin feels refreshed and hydrated and it looks more awake too. I am really excited to keep using it to see how my skin looks after a month or so of using it.
