What we say:
Simplicity is often the best, isn’t it. We’re bombarded with serums, CC creams, BB creams, night creams and the list goes on and on (aren’t those the lyrics of a popular song..). Probably. But what about using the same cream in the morning and evening? Not possible? Guess again.
Dr Gobac Cosmeceuticals is produced by a local doctor and the Starter Cream is actually more for sensitive skins or very dry skins. Neither of which I have. But I tried it anyway as I was getting tired of having to apply so many things each time. The Starter Cream is a gentle, light, easy to apply moisturiser that is equally easily absorbed with no oily residue.
I LOVED the simple (there’s that word again) grey and white packaging because before I even used the product, the packaging told me that this product was all about no frills, no extra active ingredients that may cause a reaction. No frills. Only necessities.
The only downside is that it contains no SPF which is a pity.
However, I have now started mixing in my regular SPF 30 with the Starter Cream and applying it in the morning. Works like a charm.
This is my “beauty find of the year”.

Although we are all for a product that has a built-in sunblock, what most people are unaware of is that the sunblock actually blocks key actives in the product from absorbing into the deeper layers of the skin – so you might be protected but you are receiving no anti-ageing benefit. Dr Gobac therefore rather advises that you apply its SPF25 after the starter cream to avoid blocking the absorption of the Starter Cream’s highly concentrated ingredients. – Dr. Gobac
Its all very well to have a “multi purpose” cream but if it doesn’t contain a sufficient SPF for day time use, what’s the point? Our South African sun is very harsh and aside from causing premature aging the risk of skin cancer is a very real threat. Sorry, not for me
I had the pleasure of using this product..and it certainly works well. My skin was left feeling soft…morning and night and certainly looked brighter. They do a sunscreen too so that helps as this has no sunscreen in it. If you want a treat – but also want good skin care then this is a definite!
