I have never tried the Charlotte Tilbury magic cream because of the price. I just can’t believe that any moisturiser is worth that amount of money. I have just re-purchased my second jar of the revolution pro miracle cream because I find it to be very hydrating it gives my face a nice glow. I think comparison videos like this are absolutely brilliant. Most people can’t afford to spend that much money on a face cream so it’s nice to see them compared side-by-side with a cheaper version and be reassured that you’re not really missing out that much. Thanks again Gemma❤
I don’t like paying the price for Magic cream but every time I use it under my make up I get compliments on my skin. I tried the Revolution Cream several times. My make up doesn’t look the same .
My face was an oil slick by lunchtime after using the Revolution Miracle Cream under my regular make-up. And, it smells like Playdoh 😄. However, I have continued using it at bedtime as it feels lovely and nourishing, and a week later I’ve not had an adverse reaction so that’s positive. I adore the CT Magic Cream, like Gemma though I have never paid for it, I work off the free samples when I want my make-up to look 👌🏽. The scent to me is so reminiscent of something my beautiful Granny would have used 🥰. They are definitely not dupes, but they are cracking products in their own right. Having read some of the other comments, today’s task is going to be tracking down Ponds Vanishing Cream to see if I can get that CT Magic Cream vibe in a more financially viable way. 😄
My moms 80 and it smells like stuff she use to have when I was a kid, I just got the sample and I’m IN LOVE it feels like putting on your favorite pair of pjs after a shower but for your face
That's a very, very wonderful cream. Though I can't stand the smell of it. I'm starting to think my skin is sensitive to fragrance in general, but this one was really unpleasant for me. Too floral, I guess. I would expect for a cream that has the word "marine" in the name, to have a fresher, saltier smell, if that even makes sense.😂
I appreciate the time you put into this comparison, Gemma. I have the CT Magic cream and it's just ok. I rarely use it so it's in a bag of things to give to a friend. Right now I'm enjoying the Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer moisturizer. The consistency, what it does for my mature skin, and the light lemon smell has me reaching for it every morning; and the Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair at night. By the way, you look beautiful in that fuschia top and I'm loving your lighter hair again!! 😊
I will definitely try the Revolution cream at £10 it’s a bargain and I’ve never been a fan of CT’s Magic crème as I find it too heavy and just sits on the surface of my skin. I’ve never bought the full size as it’s not worth it but I have tried a sample of the product. Maybe it suits people with dry skin better but I can’t understand the hype over it. Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched cream is much better and I have also found a lovely cream that is worth the money from Shisheido.
I am not a fan of CT Magic Cream… It does nothing to my skin… So I really don’t understand why people are so crazy about it… I have to add that I am a huge fan of CT makeup though ❤️❤️❤️
Okay I’ve bought so many face creams over the last few years. Right now I’m using L’Oreal line plumping water cream. It’s amazing. I can’t justify spending $100 for a face cream. I use that during the day and either Olay Retinol 24 fragrance free cream overnight or Cetaphil Brightening cream. Those three are the best and they compete with any high end cream IMO. I’ve spent easily over $1,000 in the last 24 months in face creams just searching for the right ones.
I have & love the Magic Cream. I use it before makeup application and I think it helps. I don’t think I will change although if I see a jar of the dupe I would definitely try it out.
Hi Gemma! I love best skincare with best natural ingredients. For my mature dry skin I can highly recommend WELEDA skin food for a moisturizer. Best quality and best price - THAT is what I call a really magic cream. Thank you for your comparison, by the way your makeup look great!
I just bought the night cream, day cream,eye and lip cream, body lotion and the light skin food on your recommendation. I'm excited to try this line thank you!
@@kimberlyfreeman5932 Thank you for your feedback! They have wonderful clean products I already use since 50 years now. Greetings from Austria dear Kimberly! 😘👍
I tried both. Revolution’s smell reminds me of a combination of carmex and older cologne mixed together. It is very strong. They do feel similar in my opinion as far as hydration.
I have tried every moisturizer made, I am sure. Although my favorite, and I feel the best, is Nars Skin Luminous, I always have CT magic cream in my drawer and use it now and then. Love everything about it!
Always love your videos Gemma and I couldn't wait to watch this one! Never would I pay £70 for a simple cream, and I dispise her adverts lol. I've tried so many moisturisers but always go back to my fave embryolisse x
Well they are bombing us with them in RU-vid. 🤣🤣 I only love the music she has (or her advisers) chosen . Yes Sir, I can boogie. Otherwise I dont like them . And I wouldn't pay that money for a cream either . Anyway I dont understand that hype for so many creams and serums and oils , on my skin ( mix) they only make it feel and look worse , we need to let breathe our skin !!
Embryolisse is fabulous, I have the face moisturiser and the big pump bottle of the body moisturiser. I love the fragrance they use too, it's very light and floral and makes me feel happy lol. I started using it because of John MacLean, he raves about it.
I'm passing on them both. I can't stand the smell of the CT cream and I rely on my skincare - not my moisturiser, to address any skin issues I may have. As for the Revolution cream, just knowing it has essential oils included in its ingredients is enough for me to walk away. BTW, you didn't have "plane face", your skin looks beautiful Gemma 😊 Love you lots and lots 💗💚💗💚💗💚💗
I love the light version of the magic cream… can’t stand the normal one it’s so thick and greasy… I could never use it under make up 🙃 and the price is eye watering! Loved this video 💕
I purchased this after watching your video, which I did enjoy. I have used it for a while and I really do not find it anything like the Charlotte Tilbury cream. The price is high and this other is a great price ,but I really do not find them close to the same. I like The Revolution but definitely prefer Charlotte Tilbury"s.
I was waiting for this.😁💖 I love fragranced products...may have to keep living off sample sachets and minis of the CT still, but might give the Revolution a go. Xo
Hi Gemma I’ve been waiting for you to review this Charlotte products are very pricey & the Revaluation is worth a try for £10 Charlotte cream always reminds me of the cream my Aunt used ponds cream great review 🌸🌹🌼🌺🌻🌺🌼
You hit the nail on the head Gladys, I love CT cream mainly because it's reminds me so much of my late Grandma ,she always used Ponds Cream & I must say she had the most beautiful skin & when she died in her late 80's hardly had any wrinkles, of course she never sat out sunbathing either 😊💖
I like it as well, it is kind of a masculine scent and I like the way men's cologne smells. I use it at night. I put it on damp skin. When I tried it on dry skin it was tacky a long time. Now it absorbs better.
Thanks Gemma..no way would I pay CT prices for a cream. Might give the Revolution one a go though. You look really lovely today in your pink..lighter hair is gorgeous as is your make up look. 🏴❤️🏴👏
Since I don’t live in the UK I won’t be able to order even if I wanted to. I use another moisturizer and it works great & doesn’t cost a fortune. Thanks 😊
I have very sensitive skin and the CT night cream causes irritation. Tried a sample so glad I didn’t buy either of her creams. So as this has the same irritant ingredients, I will probably give this a miss as well. But I love the CT makeup line. Love you videos xx
Gemma, before I watch the video, I wanted to say how absolutely beautiful you look! I am adoring the green eyeshadow on you. It really makes your eyes stand out.
I've just come across your channel and this video! So interesting to hear your thoughts as I've been using the Revolution Pro cream for the last couple of weeks. I've never tried the magic cream so didn't know if it was a good dupe or not but at £10 I thought it was worth a try. Like you, I really don't like the smell of it but I've found it really makes me skin look brighter and love that it sinks in so easily. I'm really enjoying using it and you only need a small amount so it will last for ages too. Defo worth a try. Off to sub to your channel now too! ❤️ Xxx
Thanks for sharing 🤩 I was really curious about the Revolution cream! I like the CT Magic Cream, but I don’t love it; it’s too scented and doesn’t do a lot for my skin. The Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer is also considered a dupe/similar product - have you or would you compare it to the CT cream please…? 😍
That's a hefty price and I don't like fragrance in my skin care. What I have found works wonders for me (and I have very dry skin) I take 2 drops of The Oranardy Rosehip oil and a bit of Khiels Ultra Face Cream and use that twice a day. It is amazing. I Also use Khiels Eye cream with Avocado in it I warm it on my ring fingers till it's warmed up and tap it around my eye area. These 3 products have been a game changer for me. Love your channel
I think CT is similar to Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base and I like BB a lot more. It has a better scent to my nose, fresh lemony scent. But now I want to try the Revolution one also and see how well it does on my skin. Thanks Gemma for a great review once again 👌👌❤️
CT prices are way over the top My husband bought me the magic cream for Christmas and it was no different to the no7 skin care which I had always used and love..... Lilliella xx
CT broke my combo skin out so badly, pretty sure it’s the coconut oil in it… I wasn’t tempted by the Revolution one at oil but hearing that it does t have coconut oil or Shea butter in it caught my eye or ear as I’m cooking pancakes whilst listening so it’s possible and if it doesn’t work, sounds like a great moisturiser for the body… Great vid as always Gemma! 💐👍🏻
I swooped the ct magic for re Mir and I think it’s better the ct cream always felt like a mask on my skin and while a nice smell, it was a little too perfume for me
The miracle doesn’t thicken with age. I’m just getting to the end of my first jar, and I think it’s great! I’ve tried the magic cream and found it unpleasantly thick.
I will def try the Revolutionary Pro lternative one now. I've been using th magic cream for 3 months and whilst its lovely I cant justify the price, as other rich moisturisers do similar magic things. I'm working on the premise that I'll spend low on cleanse and moisturiser, and more on serums, essence and SPF. Thanks for the review.
Hi Have you ever tried Aldi caviar day or night cream? I would love for you to do a vlog with them. I never used to bother about using any creams, and just purchased them and find them really good. But as mentioned I'm not used to using creams so can't do a comparison as to how good they really are. Thanks
@@HM-mk3wu thank you. I like them too and heard they are a dupe for La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream. A huge difference in price between the two of them.
I love the CT magic cream (I have dry skin and it’s a great make up base) so have bit the bullet and ordered 2 pots of the Revolution cream. I’m a bit worried how it’s going to smell now so maybe donating to my daughter! X 🤞🏻
I love my CT magic cream and will not be trying the revolution due to my sensitive/reactive skin. I know I don’t have a problem with the CT and it makes my skin look lovely.
I've just received my miracle cream,I've only used it today,,I can definitely say I dont think it's anything like ct magic cream, I like that it doesn't smell strong,almost sentless but that's about the only thing I like about it,I will carry on using it,but I definitely don't think I'll buy it again x
I have a feeling that the Sheglam Birthday Skin Primer has the same function as these two do. I have been using it for over a month now and I couldn't do with out it! The price? Unbelievable-- about €6. Has anyone else had my same experience?
😢I was so excited to see this cream for £14! However, I am highly allergic to chamomile (same allergin that is in ragweed). I once accidentally put chamomile tea bags on my eyes for a big night out....ended up at a clinic getting shots of epinephrine!😢😅 Wish they wouldn't put chamomile in so many products!
Hello great video I always love to see your thoughts on things. I only use Zoe Bee beauty, the Green cream and the Avocado and Aloe cream both moisturiser are amazing 😻 also the gold cream is beautiful under makeup 🤩 xxxx
I've used CT magic cream and I've always found it to be too heavy. My skin is getting dry so I should like it but I don't. I do think it looks and feels very nice on the skin, but for me it's way too heavy. Also, I couldn't get over the scent LOL
I had a sample of the CT magic cream and I don't think I'll be investing at the moment. The consistency is too thick for my oily skin and I think the price is far too much to pay for one moisturizer. However, I think in the future I might try the Light magic cream instead.
I did love the CT Magic Cream and the CT Magic Eye Cream but did not continue because of the cost. The best creams, serums etc I’ve ever used are the Aurelia Pro Biotic range. My skin lost about ten years (age looking). But, sadly, can’t use it all the time as it’s also expensive. Im Trying the Beauty Pie Youth Bomb Serum and Moisturiser now. The jury I still out as I need to use it for a bit longer to see if the reversal of my skin condition, ( since stoping The pro biotic creams) lack of hyper pigmentation and creaminess I had with the Aurelia creams comes back with the Youth Bomb set after a bit more time. Sorry, I got lost in that sentence.
You might try the EMBRYOLISSE line of skincare! I love them! I’m and use their moisturizer…not the one in the tube! And they are made in France AND CRUELTY FREE!
Neither of these tempt me for some reason. I’ve been looking for “the one” in the moisturiser category for so long. Really liking the Ole Henriksen peptide strength trainer. Not the cheapest but often on offer in Boots
You might think of trying as moisturizer in the EMBRYOLISSE line. It’s made in France, is cruelty free, and reasonably priced. They have a light moisturizer (last) and a heavier one which I use in the winter.) I’m 77 and have very dry skin. I aslso use as glycolic treatment cream at night. (Serious Skincare Glycolic Cream. I usually find on EBay at discounted price. Makes my skin smooth.)
Magic cream is a beautiful product that Is unfortunately overpriced. She could sell so much of it if she made the price fair. It would be everywhere. I love the smell of it too. Essential oils from what I have been told are not the best for skin health. I certainly noticed my skin getting clogged up, larger pores and more texture when I used products with essential oils. I did research and sure enough they are not recommended for your face.
CT have got a mini kit of the magic cream, a magic cream light and the serum. So instead of spending ££££ on 50ml of magic cream you get to try 3 for £60. Didn’t think that was too bad.
Have you been on skin school to compare? It’s literally a dupes website although I hate the word dupe 😂 but there isn’t one for the magic eye rescue and I’m in love with that product. Have you tried?
The Charlotte cream has way more chemicals high on the list and the Revolution cream has better oils and is over all healthier than the Charlotte one. The Charlotte cream has oils that you fry french fries in and is super cheap and Revolution has high quality oils. Be smart about your ingredients girls. By the way Charlotte does contain essential oils, they just use the science name for them instead of being transparent.
I was considering trying the Revolution but if it smells poorly, I cannot do it, even if the price is great. The experience of skincare has to be part of the overall draw.
I love the CT Magic Cream and I get compliments on my skin every time I use it as a base. But, I'm stuck on the price - so I'm going to try the Revolution cream and see if I like it before upgrading from my 15ml travel size CT to the 50ml. The 15ml only lasted 2 months so I'm considering springing for the 50ml... What AM I doing here?
Thanks SO much for this! I could never spend the price of the CT Magic Cream...so all the hype around the RB Miracle Cream had piqued my interest...but I won't be spending even $14 (US) on just a moisturizer that might not even smell good...I'd rather spend $37 on the DHC Astaxanthin which holds out promise of much...plus, I've tried a sample...please check it out...& if you do, let 7s know your very valued & respected thoughts 😊😘
If I was going to splash out on a moisturiser I’d rather buy one from Chanel, absolutely lush and perfect for my skin. Shame I can only dream nowadays! LOL But seriously though, £75 for a lip balm sized pot?!
Have just ordered the Revolution Pro Miracle Cream, can you tell me if I still need to put on The Ordinary HA, Niacinamide, Skin Physics Vitamin C as those ingredients are in this cream
@@PamperedWolf Fair enough, but we don’t wash our hair with vegetable oil, so putting it on my face, no matter the percentage is still hard to vision. Thank you for replying to this American.
I wouldn’t buy the CT cream on principal as it’s so overpriced for what it is, a moisturiser has to be amazing for me to spend that, and I do have some high end ones, I always go back to the Elemis pro collagen tho especially for under makeup use.
I generally don't wear moisturizers with fragrance or essential oils. I have gotten samples of the Magic Cream and it never impressed me enough to break my unfragranced preference. My cocktail for getting my skin plumped before makeup is a really inexpensive multi-weight hyaluronic acid toner by The Lab by Blanc Doux, followed by Allies of Skin Firming Treatment which has ceramides, peptides, niacinamide, etc. I top that off with a moisturizing SPF then Sisley Double Tenseur primer for even more plumping.
Thanks!! I use Bioessance cream and the smell can be a put off-putting, but it doesn’t linger. Question…the link to the eyeshadow you are wearing isn’t working, can you tell what it is? It’s very pretty.
Out of curiousity - how do you know the quantities of each ingredient? The inci list only tells us ingredients ordered according to quantity - but not the quantity..🤔
I was very excited when the revolution cream came out, but it smells awful, my husband said it smells like tobacco?....unfortunately my skin does not like any CT skincare, but it also is far too expensive. I am very disappointed in the revolution cream, do feel I have wasted my money as I just can't tolerate the smell ☹️
I have the CT magic cream (received as a gift at Xmas). It feels nice but not worth the money she charges. It never did anything for my skin. Will not be buying it. On another note, your eye makeup is absolutely beautiful
