I was recently sent this gorgeous cream to review. Here’s what I learnt about the Yorkshire based brand and the product itself.
The Brand

The Creme Du Loch Age Defying Daily Moisturiser, harnesses the power of Scottish waters and has been expertly created by the founders of Dermaloch and leading biochemists that have over 40 years of skincare expertise.
“The secret at the heart of Creme Du Loch is our unique blended formula. With high mineral, anti-oxidant and vitamin content; our creme nourishes the skin and slows down the signs of ageing whilst promoting a youthful, healthy glow.”
What’s Inside
“Every one of the active ingredients has been chosen for its age defying properties and contribution to skin health.” Dr Sheard.
- The latest variant of Retinol.
- The finest, refined farmed Scottish Kelp Extract, Kelp’s abundance of minerals penetrate the skin and remove toxins. It’s anti-inflammatory properties, can reduce the appearance of breakouts, leaving you with clearer, healthy skin. It also aids in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of cells at the skin’s surface. This leads to an overall improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Anti-oxidants in kelp also help protect the skin against UVA rays, daily pollution and external aggressors, all of which accelerate the ageing process.

- Rose Hip Oil which is rich in vitamins A and C which work together to help increase cell renewal. Rosehip is also rich in antioxidants and a essential fatty acids which give a more youthful appearance.
My Review
First up is the packaging. I love the contrast of the Emerald green and gold embossing on the outer box which sets the the tone of a high end luxurious product. It also made me instantly think about the key ingredient – the Scottish Sea Kelp.
I was happy to learn that Creme Du Loch is both cruelty free and vegan friendly. I have been using the moisturiser for about a week now. Firstly just in the morning and for the last few days, I switched up my usual night cream for Creme Du Loch. My initial thoughts were of how light the moisturiser felt on my skin. Based on what I had read, I was expecting a richer, maybe even heavier product. I was however pleasantly surprised that it didn’t weigh my skin down but still felt luxurious. You can also instantly smell the Cucumber extract, which some people may not like, It did somehow again connect me to the Sea Kelp.
I’ve often used moisturisers that have left me needing to reapply during the day. This is mostly due to the fact that I have pretty dry skin. Since using Creme Du Loch, I can honestly say I have not needed to top up during the day! For me that is definitely a win win for sure. I am also enjoying noticing the subtle difference in the mirror and am looking forward to seeing how much my skin benefits over the coming weeks.
