Fresh Creme Ancienne is an exclusive age-delay moisturizer proven to reduce the depth and length of wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and provide instant, long-lasting hydration.
Its time-honored formula was inspired by the world’s first emulsion-based cream created by Claude Galen in the 2nd century A.D., who used it to swiftly heal gladiator’s wounds.
To preserve Crème Ancienne’s rich history and supreme quality, each jar is hand-blended and hand-filled in a European monastery. The precious waxes that give the cream its rich consistency require this hand-blending to maintain their delicate structures. They have varying melting points, absorbing into the skin and different rates to deliver continuous, long-lasting moisture.
this stuff is a thick sticky paste and it didn't absorb at all. Put it on after a shower in the morning because my skin was so dry and itchy, It felt awful and I had to let it dry for 20 minutes before I could get dressed and even after all day when I put my pj's on at night it still hadn't absorbed. I will try the warming thing that the "cult follower" talked about but I didn't like it at all.
I was told by a department store skin specialist that she has never had a return of this product,it is that great. I thought for the money it better be. This is so worth it if you have very dry skin. The jar lasts for ever and you can tell when you are running low. The key to it's use is taking a tiny amount and warming in the palm of your hands before applying as it needs to be warmed. If you use a tiny amount it will absorb so you can apply make up over. The best use I found for it is when I over apply skin care treatments as it is so healing. My husband uses on his feet and elbows.
