Does it smell good?
Yes! The scent is quite calming, and very soothing when you're actually massaging it into your skin. It’s not a perfumed smell but rather a natural fragrance that only occurs when a brand uses such natural organic ingredients.
Cost : €40.00
How long did I test it for?
I’ve been applying this twice a day, everyday for the last 3 months.
What did I like?
To be honest, pretty much everything about it. I discovered this Brand at Bloom ( Where they were launching the range ) and on the day in question, around my mouth was quite angry and causing me a bit of trouble, I was very interested as the product was Organic and Iris and after I spoke to Richard on the stand he very kindly gifted me a jar of the day cream. I tested it out straight away applying a pea sized amount of cream to my mouth and chin area. My skin absorbed it so quickly and within ten minutes the inflammation had minimised incredibly. The soothing, hydrating agents in this day cream makes it a Hero product for me. I have been religiously using the day cream alongside the night cream for the last few months and I don't think I’ll be changing my daily moisturiser routine for a long time.
Between the natural organic ingredients known to have healing and anti inflammation properties, alongside being a family run business - Nicola a qualified Nurse with specialised knowledge of skin healing and renewal along with her brothers, Richard a chemist and Andrew a horticulturalist. I have so many good things to say about RIA. Organics. The natural combination of avocado cream and rosehip creates the soothing feeling I mentioned, amongst the addition of vitamin E and C which aids against damaging ‘free radicals’
The secret nugget to this cream is the high concentration of hyaluronic acid - you’ve heard me mention this before in previous reviews - an ingredient that will surely bring a smile to your face as it naturally boosts your skins collagen! This makes the cream not only perfect for young dehydrated skin like mine but also for women who are concerned about fine lines and want to start protecting their skin from ageing.
What I disliked?
I honestly cannot fault this cream. The fact it does multiple things depending on your skin type and needs makes it a fantastic product to review and I can back it 100%.
Would I buy it again?
Even though I was very graciously gifted this cream, which I am extremely grateful for, I would certainly make the investment to purchase this product as I believe it’s worth it and coupled with the fact that I would be supporting Irish business it, makes it even easier to spend the money on these products, I believe that the they are very competitively priced considering the quality of the ingredients.
Where can I buy this magical pot of wonders?
At present Ria Organics are only selling online - find their site here. They are currently, actively seeking stockists as they are still a relatively new skincare brand, but for the time being head to their website to purchase the good
