Great Product!

I really like the packaging, it is simple with all the information you need and looks great on display! First things first though, if you're like me, this is the first time I've used a product with a dispenser like this. At first I had no idea how to get the product out. Down below are some tips. I really love this kind of mechanism now after getting to use it! Makes it so travel safe and leak proof as it's like a lock! Plus you can get small amounts of product out which means no product wasting! It has a beautiful fresh scent which is not overwhelming at all. The product is very light and not greasy. I love how it doesn't make skin oily but actually a bit matte. It's nearly like it doesn't have SPF in it (but it does of course!). The consistency is thin, easy to smooth over you face, and absorbs very easily into your skin. The texture is silky and smooth and the product is a whitish colour. My skin is definitely much more moisturized since I've been using this product and I love the anti-aging benefits. I've noticed it has definitely helped with my acne too! The SPF works well, my face and neck have been well protected, in result I have sported no sunburn and no slight pinkness from the sun! My skin has been feeling very smooth and moisturized all day long. I don't need to use a lot of product which is great. I really like the ingredients in this cream, a lot of them I do look out for when purchasing moisturizers. It is very pricey but worth it with these amazing ingredients. If you a deterred because of the price I would suggest to keep an eye out for when Farmers have beauty sales. I definitely recommend this product!

Tips: To expose the product opening you need to twist the silver section to the left. That will bring the pink section down so you will now be able pump the product out. Just twist it back to close it. Due to the airless pump you need to pump it quite a few times until the product comes out, I pumped it about 10 times so don't be alarmed, it will come out! For best results apply while your skin is still damp after toning as it absorbs much better.

Very nice moisturiser

Really loved this SPF day moisturiser, it was light to wear as I never felt like i was wearing it once i applied it every morning. Totally love the way the air pump is designed as it is easy to use. Having SPF 15 included into my daily moisturiser is helpful to me as i am out and about alot aswell. The Dr LeWinns light day moisturiser SPF 15 has left my skin feeling nice and hydrated at the end of each day even after being out and about most days. Would highly recommend this product if someone was looking for a light day moisturiser with a SPF rating.

Skin never felt better

I absolutely love the packaging. Took me a minute to figure out how to open it tho haha. It is sleek, clean and looks awesome on my shelf. The product has a pleasant, fresh scent and fabulous constancy. You dont need a lot of product so i feel its good value for money.

It goes on nicely and absorbs into my skin fast. It doesnt leave my skin feeling oily or sticky like some do. It also continuoisly moisturises for a long time. Leaving my skin silky smooth come night time after appying it in the morning. It never made my skin break out. I also feel my skin looks and feels much better than it did before using this product. It was a real pleasure trialing this product.

I will be eating apples to keep this Dr away!

Let me just first of all express my gratitude and thankfulness of being given the opportunity to try a high end skin care cream BR! Thank you! Dr LeWinns has only ever been a blip on my must try but can't afford radar. So to be able to try a cream like this was beyond amaze.

Let's start with the appearance. The box it comes in is very modern and simple, I quite like it although it's not very eye catching and doesn't scream buy me! The bottle itself weirds me out a bit. It has an airless pump dispenser but I dislike it intensely. Ok the only positive thing is it distributes a nice small amount so there is no product waste. The dispenser tends to trap product in the lip between the pump and bottle. So although it seems to save waste it traps more than it saves! The bottle itself is a reflection of the box it comes in. It is white, clean, simple and modern.

The smell is very, very faint but fresh. It's quite pleasant because I can't stand strong smelling skincare personally. The texture is very smooth and silky. It is what it says, light which is nice to rub in to my skin. It promises instant and non-stop hydration! I didn't get that out of it. My skin felt the same as if I had used some random drug store brand lotion. It was nothing fantastical in my opinion. I did like that it has SPF protection. although a bit more would have been better.

After three weeks of using it my skin has broken out with blemishes and actually makes my foundation a bit harder to blend in without turning powdery. If I am honest it is more suited for a young teen who has just started out using skincare because it's nice and light for a young persons skin. All in all I wasn't overly impressed with this Dr LeWinns product so I think I will stick to my drugstore ones, because the price isn't justified at all!

Tips: Use in conjunction with a facial wash and toner and follow up with extra sunscreen to ensure the SPF50 that's needed.

I love it and want more

I loved this moisturizer. I was lucky enough to receive it a day before I went away to the Gold Coast for 10 days so was able to really give it a good trial in the 30 degree weather we were experiencing daily. I love how light it is and the scent. Its got a strong perfume scent of what I think is honeysuckle so if you don't like perfumed moisturizers then this is probably a no, I personally love it. As mentioned it's very light and definitely not sticky. The packaging is beautiful and has a twist opening that can be done with one hand so perfect when I have my baby in my other hand. It blends out nicely and doesn't leave a white layer on your skin. The price is abit on the high side for a daily cream but once I'm off the 'mama income' I'll totally be repurchasing this. My skin has been up and down since having my baby but found this really helped my dryness and really leaves my skin well hydrated for the day. I hope they make a night version of this.

Definitely recommend this product

Tips: I've found its actually a beautiful makeup primer and gives my makeup a beautiful natural glow and haven't noticed any flashback even though it has a SPF in it.

Lovely, Light Day Cream

I've been wanting to try this product for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to it, so I was very pleased when I was selected to do a review. The packaging is good, as I like to see products which don't put extra plastic wrapping around the box or use a huge box for a tiny bottle. The tube itself is about the same size as the box it comes in, which is great. It's a pump type dispenser and it's easy to squirt out a small amount of the cream. The cream has a very light, pleasant scent which is nice and it was easy to apply. It made my skin look a little shiny but it certainly didn't feel greasy at all. It just had a nice, healthy looking glow. I like the fact that it also has a sun protection in it, but I personally like an SPF on my face stronger than 15, but that's just a personal preference as I tend to keep the sun off my face at all cost. I do think the best "beauty secret" is to wear at least an SPF of 30 and to wear a hat, if you're going to be in the sun for anything more than just 5 minutes. I do feel that my skin looks better after using this product for a few weeks. I would use it again and would also recommend it. One thing to note is that is does have Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) which it claims will encourage cell renewal and address the visible signs of ageing. It's also an ingredient which some people may find too harsh for their skin, but I had no reaction to it at all.

Tips: Because it has vitamin a (retinyl), you must keep your face out of the sun when you're using any product with retinyl. Make sure you wear a hat when you're using retinyl as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Dr LeWinns Light Day Moisturiser SPF

My skin type is combination. Oily T Zone but normal to dry cheeks. I would normally gravitate towards a lighter moisturiser during these watmer months. This product claims to be a "light-weight, non-greasy day cream that offers instant and nonā€stop hydration with SPF15 protection." Does as it claims there but then it also claims that this boosts cell renewal and addresses the signs of aging. In the short time I have trialled this product I haven't noticed any of my finer lines fading or any dramatic change in my overall appearance. I am at an age now where I have been told I need to start using anti aging products because prevention is the best cure but I feel like this product didn't give me any added benefits to my daily routines. Packaging is a bonus though. Love the pump and also the sleekness of the bottle. No product wastage as you only take out what you need. Have been using this product for 2 weeks straight now and itnis still well over half full. Scent is a slight issue initially but that fades as the day goes on. Wouldn't repurchase as I feel some of the cheaper products on the market today give my skin more benefits :)

Liquid gold in a bottle

Dr LeWinns has done it again!! What an amazing daycream . I love how it is light enough to apply and feels light on on your skin but also gives you that refreshing feeling because let's face it that's what every woman wants. I love how this product has argon Oil in it which leaves that soft glowing feeling. I also love how has spf15 so leaves my skin feeling protected I definitely recommend this product if your want to nourish and protect your skin..!!!!

Tips: You don't need alot as this product goes a long way

Dr LeWinn's Light Day Moisturiser SPF

I received this product to trial from Beauty Review and have been using it for about three weeks. Before I review the product itself, can we just take a moment to admire the genius of the pump? Whoever invented this deserves a medal. Rather than a flip up lid or separate pull off cap, all you need to do to enable the pump is turn the silver band to the left and the coral pink band above drops to make the pump operable. To lock, turn the silver band anti-clockwise and the coral band locks upwards and the pump won't work. Fantastic for travelling and for preventing spillage, leakage or the product drying up. Anywho, the actual product is a light off white cream and two small pumps give enough for full face coverage, meaning the 50ml will probably last a long time. It applies white like a sunscreen and needs to be massaged in a bit for proper absorption. Rather than than being primarily a moisturiser, I consider this to be a facial sunscreen with some moisturising properties. The cream has the look and feel of sunscreen and that's how I've used it. On the box it says "for optimal results, apply when the skin is still damp" and I found that is absolutely the best way to go. Applying to dry skin needs more product to get proper coverage and it can then feel a bit oily. Applied straight after showering you use less and it absorbs better and gives more and longer mosturisation. Although a good product, it's by no means the best I've tried; other moisturisers perform better at a lower price (e.g. Andalou, Nivea, Neutrogena). The cream has a very classy understated floral scent which does set it above some of the cheaper products though, and the scent fades quickly, which I like.

Tips: Apply straight out of the shower when your face is still moist for best results.

So so

To be honest I have mixed feelings about this moisturizer. I was stoked when it arrived as it has such beautiful packaging and I had high expectations for it.

My skin type is normal with a slightly oily nose particularly when the weather is hot. So I thought this moisturizer would be perfect for me.

I have tried it on its own and also underneath my make up. Make up applies nicely over it but I did find myself going shiny much quicker than my other moisturizer which was disappointing. When worn alone I also find myself shiny after a few hours. This was disappointing as it feels so light when going on and adsorbs in super quickly.

I do wonder if it would leave me less shiny in winter when my skin is dryer then it is currently. I am going to keep try using it to see if things get better or not.

Tips: The trick to getting the product out is to twist the silver section on the bottle. This will lower the pink plastic and allow the pump to be unlocked.
