Pause & Effect Moisture Cream SPF 15

This innovative moisturizing treatment with Biodormin™ technology works to visibly slow the visible effects of aging on the skin and help to keep it at its peak:

* Helps delay the signs of skin aging
* Helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and delay the formation of new ones.
* Helps firm and tighten the look of skin.
* Helps even skin tone and texture.

I’ve been on the hunt for a moisturiser to replace the old one I’ve been using. I needed to find one real fast since I do plan to bring one on my trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. I wasn’t really expecting to apply too much makeup or wear any at all but one important thing I had wanted was to have moisturiser on.

I’ve reached the stage in my life that I know I need to protect my skin from sun and other harmful elements I expose my skin to. I’ve accepted that my skin is currently undergoing an aging process which I cannot stop, ultimately. I can only usher my skin into it as gently as I possibly can.

With the Elizabeth Arden Intervene liquid foundation review, they also sent an Elizabeth Arden INTERVENE Pause & Effect Moisture Cream SPF 15, which of course I got to try out. It has proven itself useful during my trip. I was relatively protected from the sun. My skin remain soft and supple. There was an bit of an issue with sticky feeling and the strong need to wash my face after a few hours. Hey, these are hot and humid countries after all so the skin is exposed to heat and dirt plus the fact that I went in dusty areas doing photography stuff and the means of transportation was a Tuk-Tuk while in Cambodia.

Final Thoughts

Anyway, I really wouldn’t recommend it for really extreme scenarios but having the moisture cream on then (during the trip) helped in providing a sense of security that I am protecting my skin from potential damage. But I do find it great for everyday use as is or under the makeup. It’s light on the skin and it does moisturise. I reckon it’ll work wonders with dry skin and fantastic in cold temperatures. I’ve been using it ever since I got it.

Suggested application: Smooth onto cleansed face and throat daily before sun exposure.

The INTERVENE Pause & Effect Moisture Cream SPF 15 is available at Elizabeth Arden for $55.00. And local Elizabeth Arden beauty counters (in Rustan’s).
