Nutriganics™ Smoothing Day Cream
Best if you want to: Reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve skin's elasticity and protect your skin against sun damage with a luxuriously rich moisturizer that quickly absorbs into the skin and moisturizes for up to 12 hours. How it works: Community Trade organic babassu oil from Brazil smoothes and revitalizes skin. Community trade organic cold pressed coconut oil from Samoa moisturizes and softens the skin. Organic red grape from France, plantain and elderflower from Switzerland blend helps improve skin tone and texture. Organic buddleja and thyme from Switzerland help protect the skin. Essential oils and natural fragrances combine to create a gentle fragrance.

Very effective day cream.
Date:December 11, 2011
note: this review is being cross-posted in the Nutriganics eye cream, day cream and trio pages.
I decided to cycle in the eye, day and night creams (the starter kit) when the line went on sale and I was open to a change. That is to say that I was going in blind and I was not specifically seeking out a natural or organic product.
I was fairly impressed with the collection, which do work lovely, and indistinguishably, together. Perhaps my expectations were lowered by the fact that I tend to associate an organic label on cosmetics being a compromise on effectiveness. I guess I was wrong.
Overall observations:
-the whole line is rich and has an earthy fragrance.
-perhaps richer than one might expect from a niche 'organic' line.
-The combo does do a very good job of smoothing and reducing fine lines by moisturizing and somewhat plumping the skin up.
The day cream is effective. I didn't enjoy the consistency immediately subsequent to application, which can have a bit of tack, but it dries beautifully. I could see it doing very nicely on someone who doesn't wear makeup. Smooths lines for sure. Try it on your hand to watch your the lines reduce before your eyes.

Use this eye cream sparingly, w/ Day/Night creams

The eye cream is light (almost a liquid sheen finish?).
A half or quarter pump is likely adequate to do it's job. Works nicely under night or day cream. I don't know how effective it is on it's own.

The night cream is impossibly rich. In fact, this is likely what most made me question my misconception about the richness of organic products.

Greasy and smelly, but very effective
Date:November 28, 2011
This is one of the more effective had creams I've used.
That being said, it's also rather greasy and has a distinct hempy odor.
Priorities, I guess.

Nice, uncomplicated eye cream
Date:November 28, 2011
I started using this eye cream a few days ago. So far, I have noticed that the skin around my eyes is more supple, thus reducing fine lines and dark circles. I'm not sure if this is anything inherent to the product or rather can be attributed to the fact that it moisturizes.
Either way, it's a nice, simple eye cream- wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

Scrubbiest body scrub
Date:November 25, 2011
This is a fantastic scrub.
The olive scent is unexpectedly sexy (kinda masculine, earthy, robust), the texture is non-oily with tons of medium-sized olive seed grit, making it very effective and a joy to use.
Much easier clean-up than many other scrubs- bonus!

Think beyond the name
Date:November 25, 2011
As far as I'm concerned, this is a fantastic moisturizer for dry skin when you're going to go without makeup. It goes on beautifully with no discernible scent to speak of.
I don't 'get it' as a mask though.
I wear it on clean skin with the Vitamin E eye cream.

The scrubbiest scrub you can find
Date:November 25, 2011
I love a really scrubby scrub- something particularly something with a fine-grit. This is IT.
A little goes a long way and you couldn't use a lot if you tried (a tiny amount once or twice a week), so don't be put off by the size/cost.
If you really want to pump up the volume, add a pinch of baking soda to the product and mix in your fingers before applying.

Truly a miracle oil
Date:November 25, 2011
This is a lovely, delicately-scented and versatile oil that can be used for hair, body (ie post-shower) and for massage.
Skin is left feeling soft for quite some time, without feeling greasy or at elevated risk of breakouts.
