Eve Lom Brightening Cream | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Who among us doesn't want to even skin-tone, correct hyperpigmentation and boost luminosity? I have always wanted an ultra hydrating cream that could do all of these things, and that was a true pleasure to use. The moment that I opened up my beautiful jar of Eve Lom Brightening Cream I had very high hopes. The velvety texture coupled with the gorgeous smell of the Rosa Damascena Flower Oil  absolutely took my breath away. Of course, first impressions are of little importance if the product doesn't deliver, but deliver it did (and continues to do).
According to Eve Lom,

Correct pigmentation and boost luminosity to reveal beautifully radiant and even-toned skin. An innovative hydra-cream that combines the unrivalled brightening powers of Dermapep™
with antioxidant actives to correct hyperpigmentation, visibly brighten and unify the complexion. Enriched with Rose Otto Oil, the revitalising formula increases hydration, restoring the skin’s structure, whilst combating oxidative stresses that cause premature aging and dark spots.

We especially recommend for those concerned with pigmentation or uneven skin tone and lack of radiance, or to prevent early signs of ageing. Apply to a cleansed face and neck morning and evening, gently patting into skin.

Suitable for all skin types. We especially recommend for those concerned with pigmentation or uneven skin tone and lack of radiance, or to prevent early signs of aging.
While my skin is in great shape, because I take very good care of it, and because I am diligent about wearing sunscreen, I do have some hyperpigmentation from sun damage. This is always a concern living in Southern California, and my long commutes to work often facilitate more sun exposure than I would like. While I do slather on sunscreen, and do what I can to avoid excessive exposure, I do get more than I should.
Eve Lom Brightening Cream is a lightweight and fast absorbing cream that imparts a tremendous amount of moisture and hydration to the skin. It leaves behind no greasy residue, and yet it is emollient enough to function as a wonderful base for finishing products. It leaves my skin scrumptiously soft, supple, hydrated and utterly and indescribably luminous. The combination of the silky texture and gorgeous scent, courtesy of the Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, makes its use an intoxicatingly beautiful tactile and aromatic experience. The aforementioned would have been enough to continually repurchase this cream, but add to it the fact that it helps fade hyperpigmentation, evens skin tone, and gives the skin an overall ethereal glow, and you have one truly lovely and infinitely effective cream.

It is probably worth noting that I am quite picky about my skincare products, and if I don't enjoy using them, or see results quickly enough to be motivated to continue using them, then I tend to cast them aside. It is imperative for me to enjoy the products that I use, otherwise I simply don't want to use them. Life is too short to slather sub-par products on my skin– particularly when there are so many good ones to use. Therefore, when something like Eve Lom Brightening Cream comes along and satisfies both its utilitarian function, and my desire to use products that cause elation in their use– then I know that I will use every drop.

Additionally, as the weather heats up this has become my go-to cream both day and night because of its efficacy, but also because it is not too heavy or too rich for the warmer weather.

  1. I'm convinced! This sounds wonderful and exactly what I need. Have you ever tried CT's Magic Cream? Although the summer is here quite strongly, my skin has been weirdly dry. I'm using two oils at night and somehow have dry patches in the most uncommon of places.
    I'm staying here until the first or second week of July, after that, we are moving. I'll send you an email to share some of the news yet nothing truly special, no TT, if you know what I mean. How are your furries and what happened with your TT? Until when are we waiting!!! GRRRRRR.
    Rage aside, I'm sending you lots of love and light for the week,

    1. I am really quite pleased with this cream! It feels wonderful on the skin! I haven't tried CT's Magic Cream, should I?

      I wonder why your skin is so dry right now? Are do doing any gentle exfoliation for those dry patches? Maybe try adding some pure Hyaluronic Acid before you use your oils– that might help trap some moisture in.

      Wow, moving?! I can't wait to hear the details! I know what you mean about the TT– same thing on this end! Exactly, how long are we supposed to just sit around and wait!!!! GRRRRR is right! This is pretty typical though :-(

      I'm sending you lots of love and light as well! xoxoxoxox

  2. I've recently been gifted some samples of this, and now I'm super excited to try it. As a brand I'm a little on the fence about Eve Lom. I really quite like the Rescue Mask but I can't stand the (supposed hero product) Cleanser. It stinks and I just can't deal.

    1. Definitely try your packets! I have the Rescue Mask somewhere, and really need to try it! I have some sample packets of the Cleanser, but I haven't used them either. While it seems that most people really love it, I have heard of others who don't as well. I would love to hear what you think of this Brightening Cream!
