"A perfectly-balanced concentrate of Dead Sea minerals that effectively replenishes, rehydrates and recharges the skin. It's a sensation that says "my skin reborn". I recently had the opportunity to try out AHAVA's extreme line(day & night treatment). Extreme is AHAVA's fairly new launch that came out last fall. The extreme line claims to firm skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines, plumping skin and restoring moisture. I don't have so many fine lines yet but my skin leans towards the dry sensitive side especially this time of the year. It does fluctuate to combination/dry when the weather is hot but in winter, it is extremely dry.

The Extreme Day($68) cream is a thick, emollient cream with a rich texture that comes packaged in a glass jar. The cream absorbs really well and a little goes a long way. If you have dry skin, your skin would love something so rich. But, if your skin leans a little towards the oily side, it may be a little too rich. I like to use this in the night too, sometimes. Within a few hours skin feels very soft, plump and hydrated. With regular use, it also took care of the dry bits I have around my nose and cheeks. I don't have that many fine lines and wrinkles yet, but if you have dry skin that needs some extra pampering, AHAVA's Extreme Day cream is a nice little treat. I do feel it's a little overpriced for the job it does and it is a little bit of a splurge.

The Extreme Night treatment($72) is has a gel like texture and comes packaged in a glass bottle with a pump. It feels more like a makeup primer than a night treatment. The texture is silky smooth and takes quite sometime to full absorb. It does contain silicones which explains the smooth texture. I would recommend using this not more than 3-4 times a week. But, I've tried using this under makeup a few times and it did a fab job of holding makeup in place. Even the creamiest of blushes stay put! When used as a night treatment, my skin was visibly very bright the next day. Sadly, it also broke me out in small white bumps near my chin which is why I recommend not using it more than 4 times a week and following up with regular exfoliation once or twice a week. I much prefer using the day cream in the night too, instead of the night treatment mainly because of the texture. Like the day cream, I feel this one too is overpriced for the job it does. But if you have extreme fine lines and your skin is in need of a little something extra and you don't mind the price, I would recommend the day cream, which also doubles up as a night cream. While this is not my HG day cream or night treatment, I do reach out to it quite often, especially the Extreme Day Cream since my skin's been very dry, almost peeling, this time of the year.
