Chanel Precision Hydramax + Active Nutrition Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin Review
Claims : This unique addition to the HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Collection of ultra-moisturizers addresses the special needs of dryskin. Powered by a custom ingredient, Ceratonia PFA*, that goes to the source of skin’s hydration needs, this enriched formula combines the immediate nourishing and protective benefits of Shea Butter with the deeper continuous action of Rosemary liposomes. The natural synthesis of lipids is boosted from within and the skin’s natural defenses against dehydration are strengthened. Intensely moisturized and protected, the skin is softer, more supple and soothed, and can delight in a newfound, long-lasting feeling of comfort. *PFA: Polyfractioned Active. An ultra-pure, ultra-powerful ingredient created through an exclusive purification technique developed by CHANEL.
Price : Rs 4,000 for 50 gm
Ingredients :
My Experience : I have been using this cream for almost a month now and I totally ready to write a review on it. 🙂
- I love this cream. Every year during the autumn months, when the wether gets extremely dry , my skin starts misbehaving itself . I very often get dry patches here and there on the face . I especially struggle to keep the area around my nose moisturized during the dry months. My skin is unbelievably smooth and even this time. No dry patches or dehydrated skin at all.
- The texture is the cream is slightly heavy so you have to use it sparingly during the day time but you can be generous with the cream during the night time. It works great during the day. If you are someone who moves in an out of A/c environment a lot, this may be a great bet for you.
- Although the texture is quite thick but the cream does not feel heavy on skin. It spreads easily and gets absorbed quickly.
- It feels satiny smooth on skin.
- Contains shea butter,which is one of the most active anti ageing skin care product.Also has glycerin, which locks the moisture in your skin.
- Excellent night cream. You skin looks and feels refreshed in the morning.
- The cream comes with a partition cover and a small spatula that keeps the cream clean all the time.
- A little goes a long way.
- It smells great- light and smoothing.
- You can also use it as a massage cream. Just mix it with some rose water and massage it in your skin. You would feel the difference instantly.
- It never broke me out.
- The only negative thing I have to say about this cream is that it contains parabens in it. With such a high price I could have totally done without parabens.
rich thick cream
Swatch :
Overall, it may be priced steeply but this has totally been working for me. I started with a pretty good skin any way but this has made it look quite better. I no longer have to worry about dry patches or stretchiness once I have applied it during the day. If I could, I’d buy it again. It does make my skin feel luxurious. 🙂

i used to have normal skin. but since i have started living in bangalore, my skin changed a lot, dryness..dullness.. 🙁
oh!! :(( I guess this would help. :))
I have told my hubby “I have decided that I am going to get my beauty back at any cost” Poor guy! he has no idea ‘any cost’ means Rs 4000. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
hawww!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Hubby couldnt imagine that “any cost” would be costing 4 grands for justa cream :dumb: :dumb: :dumb: :dumb:
me so clever na? :shying: :shying: :shying:
sounds so good but so expensive…..but then, it’s Chanel!! 😉
yeah agree on both the points monika. 🙂

As for the review, I couldn’t read past the 4k :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble:
read it. I hope you buy it some day. :))
I did.So, all I now need is somebody who will buy it for me….ermmm I am working on it :vampire: :vampire:
:vampire: :victory2: :victory2:
rati its a great buy.. u get addicted to it if its works for u..i have been using the chanel hydramax gel creme and the moisture boost serum for the one year nd its my HG moisturiser now…mine is bluish gel types.. my skin is combination to oily but still this has never broken me out …parabens is the only concern for me now after reading so much bout them…
I totally agree robbie. I am so loving using it. It would be quite an expensive addiction though. 😛 yeah I checked the gel as well before buying this but since i have dry skin I decided to go with this. Glad it’s working for you :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
ooh the b’day gifts r coming out now :woot: :woot: :woot:
sounds so lavish n not for the oily skins :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:
gotta save some good amount if i want the gel :specs: :specs:
when u swatched it i was like …….oh nno don’t waste, just show us from the jar 😉
oh yeah for oily skin they have gel ones.. save and get one soon :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
oh so this was the post you were talking abt in the morning 😉
I really m loving your pics these days! very fresh!
The cream does sound very nice and luxurious…i often have dehydrated skin due to lack of proper moisturization and this one would be perfect as I am practically living in AC :waaa:
though i need to get the gel form one as my skin is combi to oily..better start saving from now on..probably after a yr or so i’ll be able to buy this beauty :))
parita same happens with me. too much of ac + dry skin= super bad combination. Hope you buy it soon. :puchhi:
Rati………… :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:

and honey, tell me the best primer available in india naa..please 😉 😉
Fahee..m not primer expert like our fur fur 😉 but will suggest few that I am aware of..there is one primer from Loreal..i think its called Base Magique..Sabrina reviewed it few days back..heard its a good one! Also there are primers from nyx which nupur has reviewed which seems to be good..apart from that i have heard kryolan also has grt primers..hope this helps 🙂
I have also heard a lot about primers from kryolan 🙂
thanx a lot parita..me too want it but its not available at the loreal outlet in this dreaded place i live, called allahabad;(((
hey fahee i think its available online but I would suggest you to first try it on yourself and keep it under makeup the entire day and see how it feels on your skin and then go for it..if it helps i have seen quite good reviews for this primer..do check out for your self if you have to try without trying it on yourself..hope it helped 🙂
Faheeeeee……..as far as I know……NYX primers are good and Oriflame in budget buy….Nupur is an expert on primers, please ask her also :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

I want to try this …. but its very expensive..any equivalent subsitute?
ummmm…. not that i know of. But aroma magic almond cream works well for my dry skin. It does take more time to get absorbed than this one though/
again :pissedoff:
i am sorry
error is from my side
I to have dry skin… will try aroma magic almond cream first..Thanks Rati…
