Magic Cream!
4Personally, I found this cream to work really well for me! I have normal/dry skin and it left my skin feeling hydrated and moisturised for the whole day. It takes a little while to sink in but sits really well under primers/foundations! Lovely scent, but something to note is that a little goes a long way with this cream so best to start off with a small amount first to reduce waste. Overall, I love this product, the only thing that really lets it down is the hefty price tag.

Bad break out
2Lovely cream as a base under CT foundation , but broke me out so much... I now regret using it. Unfortunately, the same reaction for CT balm and mask. All three were used on different occasions over the last few years, same reaction.

Poor Results
2I bought the full sized cream and was so disappointed. Another CT gimmick, where the quality of the product really doesn't make this worth a purchase. Greasy, scented cream offering no skin benefits at all. Too heavy for daytime use, and doesn't compare to a decent night cream if used in the evening.

Wonderful as a primer
4This is hydrating but not the least bit greasy. I got this in the goody bag and I have been using it as a moisturiser-primer. Really really nice, but pricey.

Poor for dry skin
1Below average quality cream, for an inflated price - and I say this as someone who spends a lot (happily) on skincare. I take good care of my skin and I am always searching for a good, rich moisturiser to use with serums and other actives underneath. I have very good but sometimes dry skin and tend to spend a lot on actives, and less on a good thick barrier cream for the top. Every few months I splash out on something expensive, hoping to find a holy grail to match my old favourite, the discontinued Sunday Riley Bionic. Contrary to claims, this is not a rich cream (it is a silicone barrier cream, I think, it simply sits on top of your skin). I would say it is similar to a lot of the £10 level creams for normal to dry skin in any high street chemist in the UK - take a look at the ingredients. Very blah. I got this out of curiosity and because a few people have raved about it for very dry skin, including Caroline Hirons. I am always trying new creams - but would certainly not bother with this again, I would suggest Eucerin is a good brand that for a similar cream would cost £12 or under and have much better ingredients, and actually hydrate your skin. For £70 there are so, so many better options, Drunk Elephant is amazing, for example, and contains quality ingredients. The moisture this provides is short-lived and does not absorb well (I think this is why they say it is for dry skin - because it just sits on your skin, like a cheap layer of silicone) - It does not absorb. You could use it as a really overpriced silicone primer/crappy sunscreen - I would not wear at night, either, due to the superfluous SPF. I used it up on my hands.

Gimmicky
3I was very excited to try this. I have dry skin and love a rich, dewy cream. It definitely makes a nice base for makeup but where I struggled with was long-term benefits. Over time, it clogged up my pores and actually made it look less radiant. There is a strong fragrance and overall really disappointing for a high-end face cream. Definitely, style over substance (something I find a little too often with this range).

Dreamy
5I have purchased this cream many times but recently decided to go off piste and venture into the world of other moisturisers. It was a mistake! I think due to the price tag I was playing the field, sowing my wild product oats, but there's a reason it's expensive and it's because it's bloody ace! This is for the girlies out there who want to look dewy, fresh and feel moisturised all day long! I have normal to dehydrated skin, so maybe it's not cut out for all skin types! I must say I'm pretty shocked to see some awful reviews on here, but hey, we're all different! For me, I will never cheat on Charlotte again! Me and Magic Cream got a thing and it's LOVE!

Never again
2It is not for me. I bought a full size one and it made me look greasy. I have combination skin to oily and my mom normal skin. She hates it because of the dewiness. Sometimes when I use a foundation that is too dry for the dry parts of my face, I use it and it helps a bit. But so does the Guerlain "L'Or" And I prefer it as a primer. I can't use the cream at night because of the SPF and all the bad stuff that clogs pores. There's a lot of silicones and did you see what position the phenoxyethanol is ?!

Hydrating moisturizer
5This magic cream leaves the skin hydrated and give out a soft glow...it's not oily at all. Very good moisturizer.

Not magical for me
2I received a deluxe travel size of this cream in the CB goody bag and was really looking forward to trying it out. Unfortunately, on my combination skin, it made my t-zone unusually greasy under foundation. I thought about using it as a night cream, however, discovered that it has SPF in, which is, of course, great for day wear but not so good for night wear. I also noticed a few clogged pores on my cheeks and forehead while trailing this cream. I would definitely recommend getting a sample before splashing out, as it may be too rich for some skin types.
