Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Day & Night Cream

Not so long ago I was looking for an eye cream and when I found the Simple Regeneration Age Resisting day and night cream stating they were suitable for use on the delicate eye area, decided to give them a go, especially when they were on a buy 1 get 1 free offer.

The Regeneration line claims to fight premature ageing and the day and night creams differ in a few things.

The day cream has SPF15 and "is a special blend of active ingredients that protect and replentish your skin throughout the day", with "4 skin loving nutrients": 

Green tea extract - fights premature 

Mushroom extract - refines skin tone

Oat-beta glucan - helps reduce sensitivity 

Allantoin - actively soothes

The night cream is said to "revitalise and restore your skin throughout the night", with "7 skin loving nutrients":

Green tea extract - fights premature 

Mushroom extract and Ginko biloba - refine and regenerate

Shea butter and Borage seed - nurture and replentish

Oat-beta glucan and Chamomile - gently soothe and reduce sensitivity 

Both creams contain "2 vital vitamins": Pro-vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to soften, smooth and improve skin condition. There is also "no unnecessary or harsh chemicals so it won't upset your skin", however they do contain parabens. Full ingredient lists here (day cream) and here (night cream).

The packaging is very similar on both products, though the boxes they come in are different colours on the top and on the inside (silver/gray for the day cream and green for the night cream) which I would have thought more suitable to be the other way around but that's just me.

I first tried the night cream (lower swatch) and found that it was quite light for a night cream, it also was easily absorbed, very moisturising and softening on my skin. The fact that it was so light made me excited to try the day cream, as I thought it would be as light or even lighter than the night one, sadly it was not. 

The day cream (upper swatch) is thicker in texture and takes longer to absorb, leaving a white-ish cast on your skin if you don't massage it in correctly/long enough. I like that the day cream has SPF 15 and it is quite moisturising too but a little bit heavy if you have oily skin like me. 

I've been using the night cream every night since running out of my serums a few months back and I would repurchase it. Unfortunately I don't enjoy using the day cream as much, so I'm not so sure if I would repurchase it. 

Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Day & Night Cream available in Boots and Superdrug.
