[productsample/affiliatelink] Because I never used the original Lala cream, it’s hard to draw a comparison other than to update you on what’s new about it.
I have seen (more or less) nothing but praise for Lala cream and the remix is to put ceramides into the ingredient line up. Ceramides are something you probably do want in your skin care routine (they’re basically lipids that occur in your skin anyway, so more is good as are any ceramide precursors that help skin make more ceramides) as they bind skin cells and form a protective layer that prevents moisture loss.
What I like (never mind the ceramides) is that this ‘cream’ is heavy on oils and yet doesn’t feel like a oil formula – it’s really light on the complexion. It’s whipped but not to a moussy consistency exactly, just lighter than you’d expect – and anyway, any real ‘whip’ would be squashed by the airless delivery method (which forces the product out into a flower shape and yes, I’m shallow but I love that detail). Oils are Marula, Mongongo, Baobab, Kalahari Melon and Ximenia (yellow plum). These are all super skin friendly giving vitamin C and antioxidant generous moisturising properties.

All the beauty brands are paying hard attention to textures (possibly for entry into or to appeal to the Asian market where they do not tolerate heavy creams because of the intense humidity) and it’s paying off because – and I stress, I’ve done a top line test only on this – this is a super easy wear texture that doesn’t make skin feel hot or loaded. It’s a solidly reliable moisturiser – your skin will feel more hydrated for it, that I can guarantee, and I like that it’s not making any big anti-ageing claims but focusing instead on complexion condition – i.e. skin that needs moisture rather than skin that needs to look younger.
It’s £50 so not a cheapie but if you’ve yet to be persuaded by this brand, this might be a good place to begin your discovery. In terms of product vibe, I was reminded of Kate Somerville Goat Milk although the ingredient list is entirely different.. it just had that kind of aura about it (or perhaps I need to go on holiday sooner than I thought!).
