Product Review: Creme Ancienne Eye Cream By Fresh

Fresh Crème Ancienne Eye Cream is an eye and skin care product formulated to reduce signs of aging and provide nourishment. The creators of this cream claim that it contains ingredients so fragile that each must be poured in a predetermined temperature and following a particular sequence. Because of those difficult to meet requirements, the only way to pull it through is to do it manually.

The manufacturers of this product claim they had to go to a monastery for the monks to hand-blend each jar. The point is those monks are the only ones who have the original formula.


The description of this product on the official website gives the impression that it is really unique and cannot be compared to any other similar product. After all there are not many products out there hand-blended by monks. That said the only way we can know for sure if this cream really stands out is to thoroughly review it.
