Elemis Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream-Oil

We could talk about how this cream was, as Elemis’s Noella Gabriel puts it, ‘inspired by the body’s miraculous inner clock’ – or that it ‘helps support the skin’s natural processes and synchronisation.’ But actually, what we’d actually rather talk about how incredibly blissful Elemis Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream-Oil is to use. A cream-oil is an innovative texture – like a very loose, rich cream, actually, perfect for dry complexions in particular. It’s immediately incredibly soothing and comforting and almost melts into freshly-cleansed skin.

Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, its ‘star’ ingredients are night scented stock oil, which is packed with omega-3 essential fatty acids and a concentration of vitamin E up to 10 times higher than any other oil used in skincare, together with lightweight, hydrating perilla oil.

Our experience is that in the morning, skin looks rested and gorgeously radiant. But the pleasure factor of using it? Off the scale.
