Настоящая магия... или нет?

Akwa gel for hands and nails "Magic to a tiara" got to a zone of my attention absolutely accidentally: the good friend presented it as a gift when she came on a visit. I will tell honestly: at first there were thoughts to regift it, without looking since in the personal program of manicuring there are already obvious favourites, and I treat all novelties with an obvious share of scepticism. Besides not especially I trust the exotic which is a part (in this case – bio-oil of flowers a tiara) and to "delicacy" in cosmetic supply (akva-gel). On me clear and native sea-buckthorn oil, wheat germ oil, a form in the form of cream and other familiar words is so best of all. The inscription "Velvet Handles" became a key combination which saved from fast parting with an unexpected gift (after all the advertizing aimed at recognition of a brand works). Eh, here goes, we will begin to use! Perhaps the cosmetics bag will be replenished with one more effective means.

Producer and packing (price)

This creation belongs to the known concern "Kalina" (Yekaterinburg) which is recognized by the expert in the field of manicuring (it is so written on the website of the company).

Contents with which I decided to start friendship are packed into a transparent bottle of 160 ml with the batcher, and the cover has two provisions "open" and "stop". By the way, the batcher allows to squeeze out portions of gel on your requirements: pressed slightly – on a palm the small drop will get, you hold against the stop – there will be enough dose of means to smear all hand to a shoulder. Externally the bottle looks effectively and, certainly, draws attention to itself (it can be important for those who appreciate an esthetics in everything).

Specially took an interest in the question price: the average cost of this care product for hands is in limits of 110 rub, i.e. is approximately twice more expensive, than cream of the same brand.

Structure of a product

Studying of composition of akva-gel, to put it mildly, did not please. From 30 ingredients in English specified on the label, only natural percent 15, the rest continuous "chemistry". In "the good company" there were oils of flowers to a tiara, corn and a coco and also dogrose extract. The special relation at me to glycerin (Glycerin) as a part of the looking after means behind hands which has the known property to extend moisture from deep layers of skin, granting it instant moistening and presentable appearance. However through a small period skin overcome unpleasant feeling of dryness again. But I will not judge without adducing any proof: suddenly that oil of flowers to a tiara placed in "title" of gel has really magic lines? Let's check in practice.

Specially learned: other name to a tiara – a gardenia Tahiti, growing in the territory of French Polynesia and the Cook Islands.

The promised effect

Let's look that the producer of a novelty prepared for us … The label dazzles with "tasty" and promising slogans it seems "instant absorption", "ultra-moistening", "effect from the first application", "enrichment by oxygen", etc. Interesting information is also that means is ideal for working at office. It is very pleasant that though someone attended about convenience to "office" managers, the majority of hand creams and work with papers – mutually exclusive concepts (I know on the experience). Also the fact that akva-gel can be used for all body is remarkable. At least, it is so written on the label. Recommendations to application are simple to a disgrace: it is recommended to stir up a bottle, to apply small quantity of means on hands and in a minute to start the commonplaces. Well, at way …

Personal impression

I do everything as the label recommends. Gel absolutely small quantity indeed is necessary to apply on my dry handles suffering from central heating and winter cold weather. By the way, means possesses a pleasant turquoise shade and unostentatious aroma: plus in its kopilochka. Also the fact that gel has light consistence was pleasant, and also the truth for only a few seconds is absorbed, without leaving so irritating fat film (most of women will support me). The producer does not deceive: skin of hands in a flash becomes humidified. Hurrah, "lifesaver" for my sensitive handles is really found?

Subsequent "test drive" of gel of 2.5 weeks restrained a heat and reduced expectations from an innovation of the Velvet Handles brand. It is necessary to admit, my today's life is full of household efforts: a maternity leave, washing, cleaning, cooking … – the real base for tests perspective as it seemed, novelties. What turned out? First, in practice the instant effect of "the moistened hands" very quickly passes into a state what began with: the dry skin demanding moisture. Perhaps in it aggressive detergents and housework without gloves are guilty? Experience showed what is not present: even in a "peace" situation positive effect of gel is transient. The same situation and on other parts of the body: tried to apply to skin of legs. There is some vicious circle: the more often you put means, the less you feel effect of it.

The second shortcoming follows from the first: because of need to constantly squeeze out new portions of akva-gel on hands, it is very quickly spent. And, by the way, did not notice absolutely any effect connected with improvement of a condition of nails. About it, however, there was no word and on the bottle, but time in the name of gel the mention of nails is taken out, something means after all it was meant?

Yes, not I dreamed of such consequences when I read inscriptions on the label … At first were are required to dismiss ideas means till spring supposedly in cold season cream with more "serious" consistence, but now it is sure: to a domazh the gel which did not equal hopes, and further our ways will disperse. The benefit that remained it in a bottle already a little. And what will be done by me? I will move off in further searches of the ideal means for hands which will replace with itself all others. Perhaps, it after all exists in the nature?
