What it is
Achieve your ideal facial line with unwavering firmness and firmness. Focusing on the restorative powers of frankincense, a tree that has survived harsh desert conditions for thousands of years, the Frankincense Intense series delivers the ultimate*2 firming effect. This lift cream focuses on the more serious skin concerns of secondary signs of aging. Even richer than the long-selling Intense Cream, it addresses secondary signs of aging, a skin concern that worsens with age. It invigorates mature skin with lifted firmness and confidence. ● Certified organic by the UK Soil Association. Achieve four ideals for skin that resists gravity: ■ Plump elasticity ■ Overwhelming firmness ■ Intense moisture ■ Increased skin density. The rich, fragrant cream melts into skin, delivering beauty ingredients deep into the skin's depths*3. Enjoy a blissful relaxation time to lift your skin and your mind. Two unique ingredients that defy gravity: Lift Complex: Ribose, Flaxseed Oil, and Microalgae. Ribose, which maintains youthful skin, and omega-3-rich flaxseed oil, along with microalgae that protects skin from the external environment, provide and maintain firmness. Frankincense Active Phyto Complex: Over 30 years of frankincense research led to the discovery of a beauty ingredient in a by-product of essential oil extraction. Utilizing all of the precious frankincense resin, this product leaves skin vibrant and radiant. ○ Made with the world's first organically certified Boswellia sakura seeds from Oman. ○ By using by-products removed during essential oil extraction, the entire manufacturing process is more sustainable. 《 Plus, it's packed with a wealth of beauty ingredients 》 Luxurious organic plant oils, including cupuaçu*4 for hydrated, soft skin, chili butter*5 for excellent moisturizing and skin protection, and prinsepia oil*6 for healthy skin with omegas 6 and 9, provide rich moisture to soften and condition skin, plumping and hydrated from within*3. 《 Make your skincare time a blissful moment 》 The oil-rich, smooth texture glides smoothly onto skin for a light, smooth feel. The calming scent of frankincense soothes the soul. The woody, deep scent of frankincense*7 is blended with myrrh*8 and bright citrus essential oils for a calming, soothing fragrance that invites deep breathing. Since its founding, Neal's Yard has been creating sustainable products and engaging in activities, and has been working on "Project Frankincense" to increase frankincense for 10 years. *2 At Neal's Yard *3 Within the stratum corneum *4 Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter (moisturizing ingredient) *5 Bassia butyracea seed butter (moisturizing ingredient) *6 Prinsepia utilis seed oil (moisturizing ingredient) *7 Boswellia sakura resin oil, Commiphora confusa resin oil, Boswellia neglecta resin oil (fragrance ingredient) *8 Myrrh oil (fragrance ingredient)

Like the balm, I've been using this product repeatedly for years. There's also an intense cream that's about 2,000 yen cheaper, and while that was good, the moisturizing power, the aroma of frankincense, and the feel are completely different, so I definitely prefer the lift cream. I haven't found a cream in the same price range that I'm as satisfied with, so unless I find something that surpasses this one, this is a product I'll keep using.
I love Neal's Yard! I've been concerned about sagging skin lately. I wanted to lift my skin, but unfortunately, Elixir didn't suit my skin, so I bought this after using a sample. I didn't notice any changes after a day or two of use, but a colleague at work (we work with masks) said that her eyes looked plumper than usual! It's working! I'd read reviews, but the results were quicker than I expected. It worked for me. However, it's too expensive, so I'm giving it 6 stars for the cost-effectiveness... It's a great product that I'd like to continue using.
[Product Used] Frankincense Intense Lift Cream [Product Features] This anti-aging cream focuses on the restorative power of frankincense. This moisturizing cream focuses on secondary signs of aging, tightening the skin and providing unwavering firmness. [Skin Type] Combination skin [Texture] This cream is rich and moisturizing, but warming it in the palm of your hand makes it lighter and spreads easily. [Who is it recommended for?] Recommended for women over 40, especially those concerned with fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. [Pros] The scent isn't too strong, which is a good thing. I'm happy that it's packed with frankincense ingredients. [Cons] When I open the lid and take the cream, it gets into my fingernails. It would be nice to have a special spatula for this type of cream.
I previously used the Frankincense Intense toner and really liked it, so this time I purchased the Lift Cream. Since October began, perhaps due to the temperature fluctuations and other weather changes, I've found that a thicker cream is all that's needed for my skin. I heard that the ingredients were changed in February 2025 and are even better. I ended up really liking it. It's a testament to the history of Neal's Yard. It's a thick cream, and it's very easy to apply with a skin iron, which works by lifting it up from the bottom up without any friction. I apply one pearl-sized amount to half of my face during my nighttime skincare routine, so I use about two pearl-sized amounts per application. The smooth, cream-cheese-like texture is moisturizing without feeling sticky. My skin feels great the next morning. The luxurious formula contains firming peptides and hyaluronic acid, which provide excellent hydration, as well as my favorite botanical oils. The scent is very gentle, with just a subtle hint of soft essential oils. As the colder, drier weather sets in, I plan to use it both morning and night.
