Freeze 24/7 Ice Cream Double Scoop Face Moisturizer

Over the past few weeks, I talked about the Freeze 24/7 line of skincare and the technology behind their revolutionary anti-aging formulations. The product that we focused on that day was the serum, the hero product of the line. The serum is designed to to be a repair product and not a preventative product so today I have decided that I am going to write about a preventative product that I have had great results with from Freeze 24/7. Ice Cream Double Scoop is the moisturizer that is offered with this line and can be used by both skin that is in need of wrinkle reduction and skin that isn't at that stage in the aging process yet.

Freeze 24/7 provides the following product description on their website. "A smoothing, moisturizing complex that provides intense hydration while nourishing, firming, and toning skin - provides immediate and long term benefits. This high-tech, super-charged skincare cocktail takes the moisturizing experience to the next level. Luxurious and exceptionally hydrating, Ice Cream Double Scoop is a powerful moisturizing complex of ingredients that hydrate the skin while providing serious anti-aging benefits".

" A powerful moisturizing complex that hydrates, nourishes, firms, and tones the skin. Works with all Freeze 24/7 products to enchance their performance, while also functioning as a powerful, luxurious stand-alone intensive moisturizing treatment. Diminishes expression line formations while shielding skin from oxidative stress and UVA/UVB rays. Skin looks supple, vibrant, and healthy - noticeably radiant and smooth. Reduces the appearance of facial expression lines and other common signs of aging. Fights free radical damage and oxidative stress with L-Carnosine & Green Tea Extract. Not tested on aminals and contains no aminal by-products. Dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, non-sensitizing, allergy tested, clinically tested, non-irritating".

I used this product both morning and night on dry skin. The texture is very close to that of marshmellow fluff, it doesn't say it in the description but this is a product targeted for dry to very dry skin. When I reviewed the ingredients, I found that one of the ingredients is shea butter, confirming my thoughts on the skin this is targeted to treat normal to dry skin. This was a great choice for my skin in the winter but as soon as the weather begins to get warm, this will be way too heavy. The cream sank into skin very quickly and left no residue behind. This cream contains the same Age-Reversal technology that the serum contains however it contains a much reduced amount of that ingredient.

Within the first week of use, I noticed a bit of extra redness in my cheek area however it quickly went away after that time. I didn't have any problems with it after that initial reaction period. This moisturizer made my skin much softer and is a great choice for normal to dry skin in cooler weather. With the texture of this product, I really feel that Freeze 24/7 should release a lighter version of this hydrator since this one is just not targeted for those with oily or even semi-oily skin. This is lovely moisturizer in the dry winter temperatures but it will be unusable in the warm months. As I stated above, Freeze 24/7 needs to make a lighter version of this moisturizer and then they will be able to capture more customers.

I think I missed it, but where did you buy this from?

Sorry about that! Saks Fifth Avenue is where I got mine from. I believe it is also at Henri Bendels...
