Evolve Radiance Boost Smoothing Cream


Evolve is a new line of eco-smart products of effective, natural products that are packaged in recycled containers. It was founded by Laura Rudoe, who was previously head of development at Nude Skincare. The range is based on the principle that anything you put on your body should be good enough to eat, and uses superfood ingredients like Goji and Acerola berries.

The Radiance Boost Smoothing Cream is a body cream that boosts radiance and smooths the skin (the clue is in the name, see?) I first read about this line on the fantastic Beauty Woo Me website,  and was then very excited to get this cream in a pack from Content Beauty, following a press/blog event that I unfortunately couldn't attend.

This is a medium textured cream (not as thick as Kiehl's Creme de Corps, but not at all runny) that sinks in well with a little massage. It leaves my cold-weather skin comfortable, healthy looking and smoother; it contains gentle AHAs that exfoliate the skin. I already use good quality body creams, but this one has definitely made the skin on the back of my arms and my bottom/thighs softer and smoother. If you suffer from dry/bumpy skin, this is definitely worth a go, and I'll be using it regularly to make sure my skin is party-dress ready (just in case I do ever go to any parties.) The packaging is sleek and modern without being ugly. It smells lightly of fruit/lemon and biscuits, which sounds a bit odd, but it's quite neutral and pleasant.

At £12.99 for 200ml, this product is incredibly well-priced, and is an affordable and luxurious alternative to the high street brands. Evolve is available at Content Beauty, the Evolve website, and it will also be available at John Lewis stores from Sunday.

Please note: this product was provided to me free of charge, as part of a press/blog event pack. I liked it so much that I've already bought one for a friend though!

  2. It is a very good price; especially for a treatment product.

  3. Surprisingly good price for a product of that type. Generally, the more natural/organic it is, the more it costs. I like the philosophy too.

  4. Hi Ali - I have high hopes for this line. The prices are very good, and it's equally rare to find an effective treatment product in natural body care lines in my experience. The facial cleansing balm looking interesting too. Thanks for your comment.
