The first thing I had to do was find out exactly what 'vivifying' actually meant.
According to my online searches, this means to 'give or bring life to' or 'endow with life'. Interesting claim for a face cream to make.
Let's see how we go...
The first thing I noticed was, how strong an odour it had. I initially assumed it was camphor but camphor is not listed in the ingredients. The smell comes from a blend of lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme essential oils. It was so strong it actually made my eyes water slightly! Seriously, pull back on the smells, Yon Ka. Red watering eyes is not a good look. And no, I didn't put it round the eye area.
Moving on from the overwhelming smell, it was very easy to apply. The texture is creamy and it absorbs quickly. My incredibly parched complexion felt & looked fresh & rehydrated after just the first use.
And the firming bit? It was difficult to tell. I only had a small tester and I think things like that only become apparent after prolonged use.
My overall verdict is definitely meh. The smell was overpowering. The results were ok but I can get similar results without the watering eyes.
