I bought this cream a couple of months back from Germany. I
was browsing through various counters in Galleria mall located at Stuttgart's
Königstrasse, and I was looking to buy a nice light-weight face cream for my
oily-combination skin. When I asked about such a cream to an SA at the Chanel
counter, she told me to give Lancaster Aqua milk a try. While I was wondering
about the brand, she just dived to the Lancaster counter next the Chanel's one
and got this classic looking jar for me.
This soft cream, for face and décolleté, provides more hydration, nutrition and anti-ageing protection thanks to a delicious cocktail of plant-milks, honeys and natural patented anti-oxidant RPF complex. Skin is softer, comfortable, healthy-looking for longer.
She told me that she also had combination skin and
Lancaster's Aqua milk has been her HG face cream till date. Her skin did look
smooth and radiant (though makeup can do that too!) and I was a bit hesitant
about getting this cream, but she was so cute and so persistent that I went
ahead and bought this. I've been using this cream almost daily night on
weekdays since past 2-3 months now and hence can now review it below. Check out

My experience with this cream:
I love love love this cream to the core. This is the best
night cream I've ever tried till date, even though it doesn't say it is a night
cream. I love everything about this aqua milk cream - right from the
consistency, to the fragrance, to the way it disappears into my skin and brings
forth fresh, bright and even-toned skin next morning. Frankly speaking, after
having used it for past 2-3 months now, almost daily night on weekdays (I use Lancôme
Genifique concentrate on Saturday night and Lancôme Genifique night cream on
Sunday night), I must say I've not felt the need to put on any foundation since
past 2-3 weeks now. My skin looks radiant, glowy and even toned. The
pigmentation around my mouth has almost vanished. Also the slight white patches
on my cheeks are gone. I am in love with my skin and all thanks to this cream!
Check out a quick list of likes and dislikes that I've felt
about this cream:
Likes:
1) This aqua milk cream from Lancaster has a serum like
consistency which makes it easy to apply and spread on the skin.
2) It gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy, without
leaving any sort of oiliness, greasiness behind. It is perfect for my oily
combination skin as it is very very light.
3) It has a very mild floral fragrance which is quite
soothing.
4) I love the way it has brightened up my skin with every
night's usage. My pores are reduced, my skin tone has become more even, all the
weird patches are gone! I simply can't thank it enough.
5) Quite quick in action. You can see the effects within 4-5
days of usage.
6) A very less amount is used to cover the whole face, so
one jar would run for a long time.
7) Never ever broke me out. I use it every night from Monday
to Friday and I love using it.
Dislikes:
1) Comes in a jar, which I don't like much as it makes the
application a bit of a task. I need to be careful that my fingers are clean
before I get the product out. Also, I don't like cream getting into my nails.
It just grosses me out like anything.
2) Availability is a concern. I wish Lancaster comes to
India asap!
Rating: 4.5/5 (A)
Overall verdict: I am really happy to get this product and all thanks to the
SA who suggested it. It has become my HG night cream now, and I'd definitely
love to buy it again.
