Although Armani has been in the beauty industry for many years and has a lot of experience in base makeup, he is not involved in skin care. Although the Black Key Men's Face Cream was launched as early as 2008 to test the waters, the response was lukewarm. In 2018, Armani launched the "Black Key Facial Cream", and through various social media promotions, the attention has finally increased and it has begun to show its edge.
 
The black key takes an extremely black style in terms of styling, and the all-black acrylic box looks cool and gives the cream some mystery. The cream is placed in the box, and the overall weight is heavy, and the amount is sufficient, which enhances the texture. Although the plastic scoop in the box lowers the grade slightly, the color is consistent and not too abrupt.
 
At the beginning of 2019, the Black Key Cream was upgraded again to adjust the texture. The texture of the old version is no different from that of paste, and the fluidity is very small; The new version is softer and smoother, like slightly thicker yogurt, thick but not heavy, and easy to spread, just dip a scoop into the size of a bean. Both the old and new creams need to be emulsified, and the temperature of the palm of the hand will melt the cream slightly on the face, so that the cream will further melt on the face, and the skin will absorb very quickly. After massaging with the technique, the skin feels dry and non-greasy, and the moisturization is moderate, which is suitable for users with dry or oily skin.
 
The Black Key Cream focuses on repairing and anti-aging functions, and uses South African phoenix grass extract as the selling point of the cream. As a resuscitation plant, South African phoenix grass (also known as "Milo wood") has a unique dehydration tolerance mechanism, which can tolerate more than 90% of water loss in the body, and can quickly return to its original state after rehydration. Armani uses the powerful South African phoenix grass in her skincare, believing that this powerful cell regeneration ability can also be applied to the skin. In fact, this is a "stealing concept", whether the plant itself has the ability to promote cell autophagy and regeneration, and whether it can really be effective for the skin is not the same, even if it is effective, the effect of plant extract is far inferior to peptides, bosein and other ingredients.
 
It is worth affirming that South African phoenix grass extract does have the effect of anti-free radicals and antioxidants, and has a certain effect on delaying aging. The cream is added with nutrients such as VE, sodium hyaluronate, and methylsilanol mannuronate, which can inhibit the production of melanin and have a brightening effect; At the same time, it has the purpose of sedation and anti-inflammatory, and the repair effect is acceptable. It is very helpful for users who often stay up late, brightens dull skin tone, and can also fill in the false fine lines caused by irregular work and rest, and change the residual state.
 
The Black Key Cream is arguably Chanel's strongest rival to the Golden Brick Cream, and both are very similar in every way – both have made a name for themselves through publicity, both have a certain type of botanical as the main ingredient in the cream, and both have a restorative and anti-aging effect. The Golden Brick Cream is more moisturizing, super moisturizing, and is a 100-point moisturizing cream, but the repair power is mediocre, making it more suitable for healthy skin. That's where Black Key Cream is better than Gold Brick Cream – even damaged skin after medical treatment can be calmed and repaired with Black Key.
 
The price of black key cream 50ml is 2950 yuan, which is slightly lower than the gold brick, but both have their own advantages and outstanding advantages, and they are worth buying and trying. If you are 25 years old and often stay up late with irregular work and rest, it is recommended to choose Black Key Cream to fight against early aging; If you have a desert skin or live in the dry north in winter, the gold brick cream is more suitable.
