Ladykin Vanpir Dark Repair Cream (50ml)

The cuteness!!!

It has been a long journey until I finally reached this point, but the wait was so worth it!
For you to fully understand how I got here and why I am so happy about it you need to know a few background facts.
As you may already have read (like on every post I write) my skin is dry.
Very very dry.
So dry I ran out of metaphors to describe it.
I have been trying to find a moisturizer that suits my skin.
That soothes and hydrates it without being too thick or breaking me out.
One that hydrates and moisturizer at the same time.
One that works as a stand alone product and not only because I slathered a gazillion types of items on before or after.

I would love it if creams actually would be as hydrating as they promise!

My skin is also sort of sensitive with tiny pores.
The problem with tiny pores is that nothing can come through them.
Which means that if I use a product that clogs my pores I get a bunch of tiny bumps.
Sometimes skin colored, sometimes red, and they stay forever!
There is no way for me to get rid of them other than to wait, since touching them means really red spots that are more noticeable than the bumps since my skin is also very reactive.

So I have been searching for THE perfect product that fulfills all my wishes without any side effects and a reasonable price for years now.
Working as a skincare consultant made me able to try a lot of products, even very high end ones.
I found some wonderful ones, mostly way out of my price range of course, but it was never the perfect moisturizer.

If you know of a skincare wishing well please let me know!

I knew it was going to be Asian skin care though!
I have had such amazing success with it and the fail rates are just so much lower than other skincare I have tried.

I just didn’t expect it to come inside a mysterious black jar with adorable little fangs!
I tried one Ladykin product before which left me very unimpressed, I read reviews on a few of their items which were not only rare but also a little bland.
I still decided to purchase this cream since I was in need of a moisturizer and simply could not resist the packaging.

It came sealed and with a very sturdy spatula

I mean look at it!
Seldom have I seen such a simple design that has so successfully incorporated dark themes in a sophisticated way without being plain black.
When it arrived I was soo ecstatic!
I already planned in testing time for this product and was able to use it immediately.

I apologize for my inability of photographing this very reflective box

My first impression was overjoyed by the very beautiful and expensive looking packaging and thrown aback by the smell of the cream.
I am very sensitive to smells, and prefer my skincare to be scentless.
I don’t use perfumes at all since they usually give me a headache.
This cream smells just like Juicy Couture.
I was confused and a little worried if the scent was going to give me a headache.
Thank all the followers of Lilith that it didn’t!
The scent is not as strong when applied as it is in the jar, and it fades very fast after being applied.
It is not even as scented as perfumed body lotions and a lot less scented than the Face shop Mango seed butter ( I seem to be one of the very few people who even got bothered by the strong scent anyway).
So unless you are very scentsitive (hehe) you have nothing to worry about!

Looks like Buttercream

The texture is delightful.
It is very luxurious and buttery, not in a thick and heavy way, though.
Despite its texture it sinks in fast and is quite lightweight.
Of course you can not expect this to be as thin as a watery gel or cream, but it is as light as a cream gets.

I am seriously impressed by the quality/price ratio of this product.
The Vanpir cream is very expensive looking.
The jar is heavy and made out of thick black glass with embossed writing.
The quality of the cream is also excellent and it rivals some high end products I have used.
I would love to know how Ladykin managed to make such a fantastic product for this price without skimping on the packaging!


I know this post has gotten really long but what can I say, after all, this is my first Holy Grail cream.
I am so ecstatic about this find!
It does everything I wished for and more!
Finally a cream that moisturizes and hydrates equally well that makes my skin feel like it is in skincare heaven!
My face has never been this happy.
This cream works fantastically with a very long routine or a very short one.
I haven't had pain from too dry skin since I started using it and my face has been super smooth and glowy as well!
I want to try every product of this line and never be without this miracle cream again!

Edit: Some of you have been askn me if this cream is suitable for oily skin as well.
The answer is yes! 
Ladymoonlight from Unfade what Fades was so sweet to test run this, she has oily skin and reported that it is indeed suitable! It deeply hydrates her skin without making it more greasy. It works well  under make up even though she prefers it at night. 
Thank you Ladymoonlight for the info!
