"The beauty market is currently completely saturated with chemical laden overpriced bad quality facial products which promise the earth but unfortunately deliver very little of what they say on the tin! So, needless to say when I heard about a natural skincare brand that has been supplying Italian Pharmacy’s for 28 years I was itching to try out some of their offerings.

The first reason I was excited by Kalis skincare is because they appear to be a beauty brand with a conscience: i.e. not telling porky pies about using chemical ingredients but instead focussing their efforts on including as little of them as possible and more of the stuff that we know to be great for our skin like vitamins and oils.Secondly, if it’s good enough for the Italians… Italian women are renowned for their excellent dress sense, slim line figures, flawless skin and natural looking make-up – so essentially everything one might wish to be.Third, fourth, fifth and sixth – the people are nice, the service is personal, the products are modestly priced and they are also not over packaged – all rarities in this day and age.

So without further ado, onto the review… I have been sampling a variety of Kalis products but the one I particularly want to talk about is the Ultra C face cream with macadamia. I really struggle to find a good face cream. I have highly sensitive allergy prone skin and eyes and I have had to discontinue use of numerous creams that claim to be fragrance free and hypoallergenic –Body Shop, Simple, Johnsons, Oilatum and Lancome and Clinque to name but a few. After finding a good face cream that I like and that doesn’t irritate my skin, I have been reluctant to try anything new for fear of shelling out pounds on something that I may only be able to use once or twice before confining it to the bin.

Ultra C however, is designed for ultra sensitive and allergy prone skin. Its designed to fight off wrinkles and to hydrate with it’s bevvy of good ingredients from Vitamins C and E which rejuvenate the skin and help to fight the signs of aging through to Macadamia oil to nourish dry skin. I’ve been using this cream for over a month now and can say with certainty that it has improved my skin tone and dry patches without causing oiliness. It’s lovely to apply both in the morning and night and makes for a nice make-up base. The packaging is clean, simple and no frills – which in my opinion is all that is needed and the scent is mild, clean and inoffensive.

In terms of price point the cream comes in at £24.50 for 50ml. It isn’t a bargain but it isn’t overpriced by any means either. I’ve been using the product for around 2 months now and am about a quarter of the way through (that’s from using twice a day) which is quite impressive. Regardless of the price I think the true testament of a product is whether you would actually buy it again, or in this case with your own money, which I most certainly would.

"This cream is suitable for all skin types and especially those with very sensitive skin and contains Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Macadamia Oil. This has the thinnest, lightest consistency of all of the three moisturisers I tried and it has a lovely fruity, nutty fragrance.

I really liked this cream. It absorbed quickly and felt cool and calming on my skin. The fragrance was great too.

As with all of the Kalis products I tried the sample I was sent went a long way and I really enjoyed using this one. I think I will be going back to buy this product when I have used my current moisturiser. Rating 9/10"

I received the samples yesterday morning and have applied morning and night for 2 days.

The effect is amazing,much better than I had hoped, having been disillusioned so many times. My skin is plumped up and feels so much smoother."

Why it works

This new generation vitamin c cream is based on a high concentration of sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a stable vitamin C derivative, high concentration vitamin E and macadamia oil. Fights wrinkles, nourishes and hydrates all skin types, in particular very sensitive and allergy-prone ones. This face cream helps to promote antiaging.

Vitamin C- There is evidence that applying topical vitamin C will help "rejuvenate" the skin and make it appear younger by activating the oxidising influences to which the skin is subjected.

Vitamin E- Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that the body uses in different ways. It can be used to reduce the visual effects of aging by moisturising the cells and reducing the effect of free radicals. It can also help scars and other forms of dermal layer damage heal.

Macadamia oil- A highly emollient oil, beneficial to all dry and ageing skin.

Phytic acid- A component of plants that has antioxidant properties.

Dermatologically tested, for external use only. Nut allergy warning.

50ml/1.7fl oz
