Decléor Delight

When I received a jar of Decléor ‘Aroma Night’ Neroli Essential Night Balm in the mail a few days ago, I was sure it was one of many fancy French products that publicists push that aren’t as great as they make them out to be, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! This product lives up to every bit of hype the pr guru pitched.

At first, I was hesitant to try it since it’s packed with natural oils such as neroli, camomile, and avocado that I thought might make my already oily skin worse, but to my delight it seems to have cut down on my shine. Formulated for night usage, this decadent balm moisturized, softened and stimulated my skin leaving it radiant and refreshed in the morning. After using the product for nearly a week I already see wonderful results. Needless to say, I’ve ditched my regular nightly moisturizer for this unmatched upgrade.
