Abeille Royale Fortifying Lotion with Royal Jelly Body Lotion (150ml)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never seen anything royal jelly before, so wasn’t sure what to expect. This is a face lotion and it comes in a lovely bottle which is easy to hold and use. It is designed to help restore your skin by rebalancing, hydrating and radiating, along with the signs of ageing. To use it, apply day and night on cleansed skin by pouring a few drops into the palm of your hand and rubbing them together before patting gently on face and neck. I have been using for a little while now and do feel that my skin is looking better. It doesn’t feel horrible on my skin, it feels refreshing, not greasy or gunky. I can do the rest of my routine after use without any issues. I have noticed my skin looks less dry, feels much more clean and refreshed. It really has made a difference and would love to continue this in my daily routine. I would definitely recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this cream is amazing from the beautiful honey smell, to the luxurious packaging, the soft creamy texture, the way it instantly makes my skin feel soft, youthful and takes all the dryness away and the beautiful radiant glow it gives me. Winter is always harsh on my skin but using this cream has gave me the confidence to go make-up free and still feel vibrant, radiant and youthful. The added little application tool means I'm using less than I normally would with a face cream, so this 80ml size should last a long time. Amazing product, can't recommend enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never heard of this brand but was pretty excited to try it out after checking into it. I used it for about a week and then just stopped. My first impression wasn’t the best. First, the smell wasn’t great and pretty strong! That wasn’t enough to deter me away though. I still have it a shot. It felt sticky, like it didn’t dry down completely. Then after a few days of using it I noticed my face felt really oily and I have never had oily skin. My face tends to be more dry. I also started breaking out and I have only ever got a bump during my cycle. Overall, this product was just not for me. And for the price, it would have to be great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my VoxBox from Guerlain Abeille and I have to say I didn't get the warm and fuzzies this time. The packaging is nice and I love the color scheme. I received trial size amounts of the Anti-Aging Double R Facial Serum, the Youth Watery Anti-Aging Oil, and the Royale Toner. They sent enough for one week but I didnt really see a difference at all in my skins texture, brightness, or smoothness. The toner goes on nicely, but the Royale Youth Watery Oil and the Royale Double R Serum just didn't do much in my opinion. I'm not sure if it wasn't enough time to see a difference, but I feel there are other products that give a more telling effect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for a few weeks. I did love the routine and feeling of the products going on. However, personally, it felt as though my skin was tacky and sticky and would not get absorbed into my skin. I always begin my bedtime routine about 15 minutes before hopping into bed. Unfortunately, this did not leave enough time for these products to be absorbed into my skin. I also broke out a tiny bit on my neck. I would love to try this for a little bit longer to see if it maybe has something to deal with the muggy weather in MI during the summer. Definitely felt moisturized though. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Guerlain’s Fortifying Lotion suited my combination skin and generally boosted my skin’s hydration when applied prior to my regular facial moisturizer. The product has a runny, water-like consistency, which makes it difficult to apply without wasting. I received a sample size of this product, so I can’t speak to the full size packaging or how it may or may not mitigate the application challenges. My main concern with this product is the inclusion of fragrance. Given that fragrance can be irritating to many skin types, I’m not sure why Guerlain included it. At this price point, I expect formulations to align with industry best practices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was unsure about this product at first. The smell is nice but it’s like putting perfume straight on your face, way too much scent. I also didn’t notice a difference in my skin at all the first couple of days. I have combo skin usually more oily in the summer. I thought this would make my skin 100 time more oily but it didn’t. By the 4th day my skin feels amazing. It’s soft and just looks healthier. As for the price i don’t think it’s worth how expensive it is, i just didn’t see or feel that much of a difference to spend so much. I didn’t give this 5 stars because the scent is too strong and the price is a little too expensive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve enjoyed trying this toner! I received the Guerlain Double R Serum from Influenster for testing purposes prior to receiving this VoxBox, and I loved it. I’ve now been using it in addition to this toner and love the pair. I’ve also added in the Youth Watery Oil, and it’s all done wonders for my skin. The toner doesn’t dry me out like others do, and it doesn’t have a harsh scent, but there is a light scent that is refreshing. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly. I do wish they didn’t use plastic for such a luxe brand that focuses on natural products such as honey and royal jelly because that is a little bit of a deterrent to me buying it in the future.
