Darphin is a skincare brand formulated with plant
essence’s and packaged luxuriously. I had never tried anything until a lovely
consultant at Space NK introduced me to their Hydraskin Light Gel Cream and enthused
about it being her absolute favourite – she then demonstrated and quickly gave
her my money.
I’m absolutely obsessed with gel based creams as I
avidly used and completely finished two pots of Neutrogenas Hydo Boost Gel
Cream, which is a great affordable alternative, though every once in a while a
splurge in the luxury skincare department is the best thing you can do for your
skin.
After finishing an entire pot of the Hyrdaskin
Light I repurchased it at my nearest John Lewis and absentmindedly picked up
their Hydraskin Rich *rolls eyes*. I was disappointed but at the same time curious
to see if I would like it so I decided not to go back and exchange it (lowkey was
being lazy). Both are an absolute dream contained in sturdy, luxury packaging
that screams classy.
The Hyrdaskin Rich is recommended for normal to dry
skin. I tend to use this is the evening or if I was having a makeup free day as
I found that my makeup didn’t blend well on-top as it takes a little longer to
absorb. In the evening, I love massaging it onto my skin! I go to sleep to the
gorgeous scent of the shea butter and mango extracts and wake up with glowy,
hydrated skin.
The Hydraskin Light is recommended for normal to
combination skin and absorbs so well into my skin and leaving a smooth,
hydrated base for my foundation application. The texture is lighter and the
sensation feels much cooler. I love that it makes my skin feel hydrated all
day, even in the colder months which is fast approaching.

Out of the two, the Hydraskin Light is 100% my
favourite due to the light-weight texure and the refreshing feeling that lasts all
day. At £38.00 for 50ml, it lasted me around 4-5 months when used once a day. I
would 100% recommend this for all skin types if you’re wanting to splurge on
something a bit more high-end.
I’d love to try more Darphin product’s! Let me know
if you have any recommendations.
