I received the Giorgio Armani Beauty Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream complimentary in exchange for my honest review. This super luxurious cream has quite an interesting formula with Mediterranean Caper and Peach Kernel Oil as key ingredients. The texture is thick almost balmy with an occlusive consistency, the first time I applied more than what my skin needed and I woke up with a couple pimples the next day, so I tried again applying very little product and I ended up loving it! Once you know the amount your skin actually needs the cream absorbs quite well, and doesn't sit on the surface, although is not greasy, I normally prefer to use it as a night cream because it feels very moisturizing, and helps lock in moisture, I tried it as a day cream in a very cold day ... MoreI received the Giorgio Armani Beauty Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream complimentary in exchange for my honest review.

As far as results based on a deluxe sample, I think it helps with lines and wrinkles, I feel it can potentially be a great firming cream. My skin feels a tad firmer using only in key areas, a little goes a long way. I think it's worth the investment specially for dry aging skin types. Also love that this formula is Paraben, Phthalate, Sulfate and Cruelty Free!

I Used a Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream sample twice a day for about a week. This is probably THE thickest moisturizer I’ve ever tried, outside of an occlusive one such as petroleum or something like cicaplast. I def noticed fragrance, but just the smell. My skin didn’t react to it at all. I have rosacea so my face is very sensitive and will go red in an instant with any ingredients that bother it. I also have combo, mostly very dry, acne prone skin. I used it the same way I use all of moisturizers. I spray with a thermal water and placed a small amount, mixed with a pump of a barrier repair moisturizer and a couple drops of an oil. I followed the directions of spreading out from the center to the outside of my face.

I used it the same way I use all of moisturizers. I spray with a thermal water and placed a small amount, mixed with a pump of a barrier repair moisturizer and a couple drops of an oil. I followed the directions of spreading out from the center to the outside of my face. A week of using any skincare is not enough at all for any drastic changes. These can take months, but at least a few weeks. What I did notice is that, as mentioned above, my skin didn’t react at all which is great. I did notice a slight plumping of my skin, especially in the cheek area, which is an area we tend to begin to lose collagen first as we age. It also was quite moisturizing for me, especially it being winter and my skin being extra dry. I looked up the cost of this and I can’t justify to other people, with only one week’s use, spending that high of an amount on this, but what I will do is buy a jar for myself and see how I do after that one. I do really like this cream. I think it may become one that is in my rotation, but I also choose to spend on my skincare if well liked. I do understand that is not everyone’s privilege or choice, so this may not be the one for you. If cost was not an object, I’d give this a 4/5 and will update when I complete a bigger jar.

This cream is very thick, about the same consistency as lip balm. Due to the consistency, a little bit goes a long way. I'm certain this one jar will last me a very long time. It doesn't completely absorb into the skin, a small amount still sits on the surface. I have to be careful not to apply too much or it will peel, especially when I apply my makeup directly after. Due to its thickness, the moisturization lasts quite a long time. It has a pleasant fragrance that dissipates relatively quickly. After 2 weeks of use, I haven't noticed much difference in my fine lines. However, my skin does appear brighter, more even, and feels more moisturized.

Absolutely AMAZING product...

I received the Giorgio Armani Crema Near Supreme Reviving Cream for free in exchange for my honest review. Let me start by saying that this is a 100% honest and truthful review and I am a huge skincare enthusiast so I was very excited to receive this product. I was nervous to try this cream at first because it is so thick. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it went on and how well my skin absorbed it. Then there was the next morning after using....I was shocked at the appearance of my skin. It was smooth supple and hydrated. I was skeptical because I still thought with consistent use it was going to clog my pores, but to my lovely surprise a week later and my skin is clear as ever. I notice a much more even tone, smoother more hydrated complexion ... MoreI received the Giorgio Armani Crema Near Supreme Reviving Cream for free in exchange for my honest review.

I notice a much more even tone, smoother more hydrated complexion and a definite reduction in my fine lines. I do not want my sample to run out and am seriously considering paying the hefty price tag because this is the real deal and very much with the cost. The cream has a very light perfume scent that I don't mind, but if you're sensitive to smells it's light and doesn't last long. I would highly recommend this product, very very luxurious!

Five Stars with Continued Use?

I received a sample of this product as part of a promotion in exchange for my honest review.About me: Female, Age 45, light-skinned with cool undertones. I live in the Northeastern United States and tried this product in late FallI am very excited about this face cream and feel as though I might have given it five stars had I been able to use it for longer than the five days that I got out of the .34 oz jar I received. During that time, I used it both morning and evening on my face, eye area, and just under the jawline. I applied a generous though not excessive amount in order to observe its full benefits. Typically I use different face creams for each application in a given day based upon my skin's needs and to take advantage of beneficial ingredients from ... MoreI received a sample of this product as part of a promotion in exchange for my honest review.About me: Female, Age 45, light-skinned with cool undertones.

Typically I use different face creams for each application in a given day based upon my skin's needs and to take advantage of beneficial ingredients from multiple products. This jar would last a lot longer if I were to only use it once per day.Those five days of treating my face to this cream made me curious about what kind of results I would see if I used it for a longer period of time. I will more than likely order a full-size jar but am hesitant to after getting just five days out of the .34 oz jar I was sent.The first thing I noticed before applying it was that it had a very light scent. A highly fragranced skincare product is often a deal-breaker, so this was nice. The scent remains light and pleasant throughout the day. My favorite thing about the cream is how it made my face feel from the very first application. Yes, it was soft to the touch. But the good feeling came from its wear. It felt as though every cell in my face had been liberated from gravitational pull. One reviewer said that it was heavy or greasy, but I did not find this to be the case even with my generous application. In fact, my skin felt less oily than usual the morning after the first use. It also provided my skin with enough moisture to protect it from the blustery, 20 degree New Jersey mornings. I preferred using it in place of my usual eye cream because it kept the delicate areas from getting crepey from the cold weather. Makeup went on smoothly atop this cream. The one thing that set this product apart from others is the noticeable change in my skin's texture. It was most visible from my cheekbones and extending a bit below. I had not seen that skin texture in so many years that I forgot what it looked like on me. I should note that I exfoliate almost daily and use other products to ensure what I am presenting to the world is a fresh layer. I cannot place what the difference was and will have to add to this review once I have used it long enough to realize its true potential. I do believe that this one is a winner.

I love the results but hate the fragrance

I received a sample of Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream and used it for two weeks.My skin - I'm 46 years old and am very lucky that I just have the start of some fine lines on my forehead. They typically only show when my skin is dry. I'm very pale and have ruddy undertones. I burn very easily and my skin can be very reactive to new products.The cream - The cream definitely feels luxurious. It's very thick and a little bit goes a long way. It spreads on nicely and absorbs well, leaving my skin hydrated and glowy. My big, and only, problem with the cream is the fragrance. First, that there's a fragrance at all is typically a deal breaker for me. With my skin being so reactive, I very much lean towards products that are fragrance free.

First, that there's a fragrance at all is typically a deal breaker for me. With my skin being so reactive, I very much lean towards products that are fragrance free. Fragrance feels like such an unnecessary ingredient in skin care. Second, the fragrance itself wasn't something that I enjoyed. It felt floral to me and really lingered on my skin.The results - Wow. This cream did wonders for my skin. I would wake up with hydrated skin and it significantly reduced my red undertones. The few fine lines in my forehead disappeared after only a few days of using it. The skin on my neck also tightened from its use.Would I buy this cream - Unfortunately, no. The fragrance is a deal breaker for me. If they created a non-scented version, I would buy it immediately. The cost would absolutely be worth it. If you're not concerned about or sensitive to fragrance, I would give this product my absolute recommendation.

Improves Skin Texture

I have not been this excited about a beauty product in awhile. This face cream is unlike anything I have ever used before and has made my skin feel amazing. The benefits I experienced to the texture of my skin by using this product twice a day (AM & PM) have been awesome. This product advertises using the the Reviscentalis plant as the ingredient that makes it so special. This plant has amazing properties that allows it to be able to go without water for years but allows it to be able to turn back into a lush green plant only after 12 hours of giving it water. This product has the consistency and feel of a balm minus the waxy, greasy feeling that usually accompanies a balm. It really locks in the moisture to my skin and even after many hours my face felt super soft. ... MoreI have not been this excited about a beauty product in awhile.

This product has the consistency and feel of a balm minus the waxy, greasy feeling that usually accompanies a balm. It really locks in the moisture to my skin and even after many hours my face felt super soft. After only a few days of use, my skin felt and looked great and the texture was already improving. Now that I've completed 2 weeks and am at the bottom of my sample, I can say I am super impressed and definitely have this on my Christmas list. I also must say this product felt extreme soothing and mild to me. I have been struggling quite a bit over the last year to increase my tretinoin strength from .05% to 0.1%. I have a lot of peeling and dryness which has been helped dramatically with the use of this cream. The only issue I had with cream is some pilling with use of SPF over top it. I noticed if increased the time in between applying these products, it helped stop that issue. I am recommending this to anyone who is struggling with texture and moisture issues. It's a game changer for sure!

Luxe and luscious hydration

When you know the name, Giorgio Armani, some descriptors come to mind such as luxe, elegant, high-end, classy, and always in the finest taste. Crema Nera fills all of those adjectives and then some. Upon opening the jar, you are greeted by such a fine light fragrance that is not overwhelming, but delights the olfactory senses. Visually you can see that this is a heavier cream and when putting a finger tip in it almost has a body butter like consistency. Removing just a bit, warming it up between my fingertips it transformed from the heavier cream like consistency at first to a balm, and then eventually to a thicker oil. However, upon application, it felt extremely light on my face as I swept it across my cheeks to my temples in upward strokes. I loved how it moved ... MoreWhen you know the name, Giorgio Armani, some descriptors come to mind such as luxe, elegant, high-end, classy, and always in the finest taste.

Removing just a bit, warming it up between my fingertips it transformed from the heavier cream like consistency at first to a balm, and then eventually to a thicker oil. However, upon application, it felt extremely light on my face as I swept it across my cheeks to my temples in upward strokes. I loved how it moved across my complexion so easily and absorbed a lot more quickly than I would've thought. I use this, mostly on my cheeks and forehead as my complexion tends to be a bit more dry in these areas. This would be an excellent every day twice a day solution for someone with a drier complexion, but worked beautifully for me, applying it with a bit of a heavier hand at night, and with a thin layer during the day. I did wait a little bit before applying my foundation to give it time to absorb. The surface of my face felt like a pillow, and once the absorption had taken place, the foundation and other makeup products applied as if there was a primer underneath. As previously stated, I use this at night as well and take about 1.5 times the amount I do during the day on my fingertips and apply over my entire face to wake up with a healthy glow. It seems to have actually helped to make lines underneath my eyes less discernible because of this plumping effect. Only a little dab will do ya, and so this cream, although expensive will last a very long time. I recommend it to all skin types, except those with fully oily complexions, and highly recommend it to those who live in drier climates.

Quality Face Cream

I am in complete awe of this fantastic face cream! The cream has a very light scent, it's a white balm like cream that when comes into contact with the heat of your skin begins to melt wonderfully. But unlike a lot of balm like products this sinks to your skin and actually drys down into a smooth velvety finish that's not wet and tacky feeling! Since I've been using this my skin has improved dramatically. From first use you can see the difference your skin is instantly moisturized, softer, smoother, and more luminous. Over time my skin looks and feels younger my pores and fine lines have minimized, my tone is more even and glowing and my skin is softer and smoother than it has ever been. I'm super excited to see the results with continuous use. The price point may ... MoreI am in complete awe of this fantastic face cream!

Definitely recommend this face cream.
