In the world of luxury skincare, a new pot of promise has arrived. Rodial's Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Moisturiser, priced at a premium £68, is generating a formidable buzz. We got our hands on it for an exclusive first trial to see if it truly lives up to the hype.
First Impressions: Luxury In A Jar
From the moment you unbox it, the product screams sophistication. The sleek, heavy glass jar feels undeniably luxurious. The cream itself has a rich, velvety texture that feels cool to the touch—a promising start for any high-end skincare enthusiast.
The Application: A Sensory Experience
Applying the cream is a treat for the senses. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, absorbing quickly without any unpleasant greasy residue. The subtle, elegant fragrance is noticeable but not overpowering, making it a perfect addition to both a morning and evening routine.
The Results: The Moment Of Truth
The true test of any moisturiser is its performance. The results, frankly, were visible almost instantly.
Instant Hydration Boost
Skin felt immediately quenched and supple. The powerful blend of hyaluronic acid and dragon's blood extract works in tandem to deliver a profound surge of hydration, plumping up fine lines and leaving a dewy, radiant finish.
24 Hours Later
The effects were not just a fleeting sensation. Waking up the next morning, my skin still felt incredibly soft, smooth, and noticeably more even-toned. The cream's long-lasting moisture lock is arguably its most impressive feat, justifying its position in the luxury market.
Verdict: Is It Worth The Investment?
At £68, this is undoubtedly an investment piece. However, for those seeking a potent, results-driven moisturiser that delivers immediate and lasting hydration with a luxurious feel, Rodial's latest offering is a formidable contender. It's a splurge, but for many, the staggering results will make it a justified one.
While the price point places it in the high-end bracket, its performance bridges the gap between a standard moisturiser and a targeted treatment serum, potentially saving you a step—and a product—in your routine.
