Review of Pai Cream for Sensitive SkinBy Joanne L.
Packaging Pai Cream for Sensitive Skin comes packaged in a transparent glass bottle. The lid features a pump dispenser, helping to keep the contents free from contaminants and fresh. The whole bottle comes in a recyclable card box. The box and bottle both feature the distinctive Pai logo.
Application The light texture of Pai Chamomile & Rosehip Sensitive Skin Cream ensures it is easy to apply evenly to the face and décolleté and is quickly absorbed. Pai Cream for Sensitive Skin left no feeling of stickiness, or the ‘tightness’ sometimes experienced after applying creams. It worked well as a regular moisturiser during my cleansing routine, and as a ‘rescue cream’, applied to soothe and calm my skin when irritated. My skin is quick to react to any environmental changes, and often becomes red and sore after minimal exposure to the elements. This Pai Chamomile and Rosehip cream for Sensitive Skin was light enough to reapply during the day when irritation occurred, quickly rectifying the problem. Because it was so easily absorbed, it also worked well under make-up, providing a well-moisturised base on which to apply further products.
Ingredients As with all Pai products, Pai Cream for Sensitive Skin is Vegan and Cruelty free. I was particularly pleased that the cream did not contain parabens, fragrance, chemicals or petrochemicals which can cause allergies and to which my skin has reacted so badly in the past. The ingredients are clearly identified so it is easy to see exactly what it is you are using. The Pai range is preservative free, again cutting down on the irritants among the list of ingredients. Chamomile and Rosehip soothe sensitive skin and protect it from further irritation, and the cream is also rich in anti-oxidants and Omega 3 & 6, renowned for their anti-aging properties.
Results Whilst using Pai Chamomile and Rosehip Cream, my skin has been well moisturised, and I have had minimal flare-ups. When the autumn winds did their worst, the problem was quickly resolved by using the cream. And although the price does seem quite high for a small bottle such as this, a little goes a long way and it is worth every penny to keep my skin hydrated without irritation.
Pros: Pai Cream for Sensitive Skin is suitable for use by those with even the most sensitive skin.
Hydrated skin throughout the day without feeling greasy or ‘heavy’.
Gentle, natural fragrance without being overpowering.
Provides a calming solution when skin has been irritated by environmental factors, such as the wind.
Cons: Because the Pai skincare range is preservative free, they do have a shorter shelf life of approximately six months. You would probably use the product in that time anyway, but may be a consideration for some people.
