Customers are raving about how it has left their skin looking brighter, feeling smoother and revitalising a natural complexion
Amazon is flogging a £16 face cream packed with superfood ingredients, including a ‘powerful’ kitchen cupboard spice, vitamin C and more. These ingredients offer numerous health benefits like hydrating, smoothing, brightening skin, and even fading dark spots.
A jar of Shvyof Turmeric Vitamin C Face Cream on Amazon costs £15.99 and could be at your doorstep as early as tomorrow. Turmeric, a common spice, is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties thanks to its active ingredient, curcumin.
While many know it as a cooking essential, it’s equally beneficial for your skin. You can eat turmeric in your meals or take it as a supplement, but studies have shown its effectiveness when absorbed after being applied directly to the skin.
This suggests that turmeric-infused moisturisers and soaps could enhance and brighten your skin tone, moisturise dry patches, and repair damaged skin. Turmeric is a potent anti-ageing compound that helps tighten skin and restore elasticity.
It also works to lighten dull skin and revive a natural, healthy complexion. Other ingredients in the Shvyof Turmeric Vitamin C Face Cream include oat extract, niacinamide, vitamin C, and peony extract, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Vitamin C helps to brighten dull skin and effectively prevent pigmentation. It can also boost collagen metabolism, reducing dark spots, wrinkles and fine lines.
Ingredients like paeonia and oat extract are making waves in skincare by keeping complexions quenched and improving texture. The Shvyof Turmeric Vitamin C Face Cream is said to be “suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin, with natural ingredients that are non-irritating and smoothing.”
Benefits of turmeric include:
- Calms and soothes irritated skin
- Reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria
- Fights free radicals
- Boosts collagen production
- Strengthens elasticity
- Retains moisture
- Restores natural oil balance
It has a 4.3 rating out of five stars from customers. One user said: “I love this cream because it makes my skin brighter and makes me look younger.”
Another shared: “I love how it leaves my face feeling moisturised but not oily or greasy and my face feels healthier due to the beneficial effects of using turmeric on skin. Brilliant I highly recommend!” A third wrote: “Been almost one month since I have started to apply this cream and there is already visible improvements in my skin. Lovely texture to the cream, smells good and absorbs well. You only need a small amount to cover face and neck. Looks like I will be continuing with this cream.”
Someone else added: “Lovely cream, bit on the greasy side, but once dry my skin feels lovely and soft. Been using for a month, morning and night. I’ve notice an improvement on my fine lines and skin in general. Would recommend.” Another satisfied customer said: “Very light and spread well on my skin unlike some other cream I’ve used in the past. It has light scent and absorbs quickly but doesn’t feel dry afterwards. As it contains vitamin C, I use it only before going to bed.”
One user raved about their experience: “I’ve been using this for over a month, each morning. The cream is medium-light and takes a few minutes to be fully absorbed. It has kept my skin soft, with reduced tension. The brightening is evident too, my skin does look healthier.” Another person said: “I like this cream as it has qualities of turmeric and vitamin c together! Both are renowned to do wonders to your skin.”
However, not all feedback was positive, as one customer commented: “This product give me an allergic reaction, my face went red, eyes swollen with blisters and a rash on my chest.” Another voiced a similar discomfort, writing: “I had terrible itching after applying on my face with rashes. I don’t recommend to people with sensitive skin.”
This will help you check for any reactions, such as discolouration, swelling, or itchiness. Also, remember that using turmeric powder directly on your skin won’t provide the same benefits as turmeric soap or other turmeric products since the powder doesn’t absorb into the skin by itself.
If you’re thinking about incorporating turmeric into your skincare routine, particularly if you have a skin condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional first.
One more customer said: “It makes your skin feel softer. It hydrates your skin. I don’t know if it’s just my skin, but it has caused some break outs. The bridge of my nose and in between my eyebrows. When this happens, my skin will flake. So, it is not something I be getting again.” Another shopper put: “I have been using this for 3 weeks now and no effects.”
