*Thank you to the divas over at Chuda Skin Care for sending this product free of charge for my honest review. All opinions/reviews are my own*
Thanks to the wonderful people over and Chuda Skincare for sending over their Hydrating Healing Cream. I have been using this product for a few months ago trying to really get a feel for it. It's just my opinion that you need to take your time when test driving skincare. Especially someone like myself who eventually stops using someone after a month or two because of some reaction.
Basically Chuda Hydrating Healing Cream is a 1000 year old medicinal remedy used for centuries in Russia and Georgia to heal the skin. It was created by the Turmandize family of Georgia in the early 1800's and utilizes natural ingredients that grow atop the breathtaking Caucasian mountain range in their home country. While the compounds ingredients are publicly noted, their exact concentration and method of formulation is a guarded family secret, passed down from generation to generation and never revealed to outsiders. Being part Native American and Puerto Rican I understand the importance of handing down family traditions for generations to continue the family legacy. I adore the Turmandize family for being the same way, and allowing everyone else to benefit from their amazing cream.
Born in Georgia and raised in Russia, Dr. Elena Ocher is the founder and creator of Chuda Skincare. Here is the story direct from the brand
“A time-tested, medicinal compound used for centuries to heal wounded skin, Dr. Ocher grew up using the Remedea Compound to heal cuts and soothe abrasions. As a medic in the Russian Navy, she relied on its remarkable antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties to heal burns and severe lacerations of wounded soldiers. Passionate about its healing properties, she believed the compound was something that could benefit more people.
Granted exclusive permission by the Turmanidze Company to utilize the compound, Dr. Ocher teamed up with a world-renowned chemist to create CHUDA: the first-ever skincare to combine the time-honored Remedea Compound with the most scientifically advanced, medical grade actives.”
I spent about three months testing the Hydrating Healing Cream, their flagship product. As I said before I am always skeptical with skincare, I have that weird skin were it looks like it has been working then suddenly a week or two later it just does nothing anymore. If we are being really honest there are not many skincare products on the market that due what they claim.
I can say this product was much better than I anticipated it being. For one a little goes a very long way. I used the product at night before bed because I'm super lazy and the container was on my night stand so I grabbed it right before bed and applied. I am excessive and silly so I started out with a good dollap (about two quarters stacked in my palm) and ended up with a thin mask over my face. I wiped some off and was good to go for the evening.
Being that I was passed out I am not sure if there were results in four hours as the website claims but in the morning my skin was so much softer. My makeup applied nicely and I looked more awake. You have to use this product regularly to see wow factor results (check the website to see what I mean). I see my face every day so to me I look the same, however I have had clients, friends and coworkers ask about my secret so I ordered a few of their deluxe travel size options to keep in my kit and my office for my special clients and friends.
At $150 a 1.7 ounce container this is a pricey investment but one I have recommended again and again. It is worth that money, as many of my clients can now attest to. Have you tried Chuda Skincare Hydrating Healing Cream? What did you think?
