I ventured out to the spa a few weeks ago for a much needed facial. If you read my last post, you’ll know that, during the facial, I was dismayed to find out that my skin was on the dry side!
One of the products that was used and that I then purchased was the Emollient Wheat Germ Cream. I’ve been using it for a past several weeks and wanted to provide a short review on it for all of you!
Ingredients
Pure Creations prides itself on incorporating natural ingredients in its products. You can see from the website’s description that the cream contains ingredients like organic wheat germ oil, almond oil, and aloe vera. While I wasn’t able to find a detailed ingredient list, after chatting with the folks at Pure Creations, I know that they do not use any potentially harmful or unnecessary ingredients.
Usage
This is a thick, rich cream. A little bit goes a really long way. Personally, I would only use this on my skin during the dry winter months. I think it could be too much for my skin at other times of the year. I also like that this cream does not have a strong scent. (That’s the last thing I want before bed!)
Since my facial, I have used this on my skin before bed each night. It has helped me maintain that smooth polished feel in my skin.
Packaging and Price
Pure Creations’ packaging is simple and fresh. The jars are a good size. At $24.95 for a jar of this long-lasting cream, I think it’s a good investment.
Would I recommend this cream?
Yes, I would! It has worked wonders for me during this very dry winter. I continue to receive compliments on how smooth my skin looks. 🙂
The One Caveat
Just because this cream works for me, doesn’t mean it will work for everyone else. It’s always good to test a bit of any new product on your skin before diving in head first.

Thanks for your product review, Alia. I also tried this cream and it left my skin itchy, red, inflamed and blotchy. It took approximately 4 hours for the inflammation to subside. If they have a trial size, that may be a good option for those with sensitive skin.

Your experience with this cream was such a good reminder that it’s so important to test a new product before using it. I had forgotten that rule for a while. The last thing anyone wants is to have a bad reaction to a cream that shows up on your face! I have to give kudos to the folks at Pure Creations. When I first tried this many many months ago, they gave me a little sample to try. After my last facial and the horrible assessment of having dry skin, I was confident that this cream would work for me since I had tried out the sample.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for the kick in the butt!

Sadly my skin is too oily for it, it sounds wonderful!

Yes, it is wonderful, but it’s even better if you don’t need it at all!

This sounds great. I have to remind myself that even though the bottle is tiny, the price is justified since it lasts for such a long time!

This cream definitely lasts for a long time!

I love using emolients in general because they feel very hydrating sans the greasy sticky feeling of most creams. #GIG
March 27, 2013 at 9:59 am
I totally agree! I hate having greasy-feeling skin!
