The first thing you notice with this range is its very heavily scented. That's why I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the moisturizer to find that compared to its counterparts the scent was nowhere near as strong. It has a pleasant hereby scent with citrus undertones. I did find it still lingered on the skins surface for an extended period of time.
The moisturizer itself has a lovely light milky gel consistency which made it spread extremely well and absorb into the skin quite quickly. One large pea sized amount covered my whole face and if I applied slightly more I ended up taking it down the neck and decolletage as well. I feel like this would make the product last longer which is great as the tube is smaller than its counterparts.
This product is easy to apply, I just used my finger tips to do so. After I applied the moisturizer there was no oily or silky residue left on the skins surface, I felt dehydrated still and continued to have surface drag and some days I experienced stinging on open blemishes. This would be the perfect solution to an oilier skin type who feels heavier creams worsen their condition.
The packaging I found to be aesthetically boring and not as sleek as the matching cleanser and toner, however its still very functional and worth its price.
While using this product you do have to make sure you allow plenty of time for it to fully absorb into the skin as any residue on the surface balled up underneath the application of my liquid foundation.
I feel like for its price this would be a great alternative for someone who needs a water based moisturizer and who suffers from excess oil and blemishes.
I have normal to dry skin that's prone to breakouts so I was curious to try this balancing lemongrass moisturiser. Firstly the packaging size is alot smaller than I'm used to. The texture is quite thin and runny. It has the lovely lemongrass scent to it which is pleasant, and due to the thin consistency a little goes a long way. It definitely moisturises but isn't overly hydrating. If your skin is more normal to dry then this probably wont be hydrating enough. It didn't break me out or irritate my skin so that's a bonus, I think this product will be fine for me during the hotter months but during winter when my skin is on the dryer side I will have to find something more nourishing. Obviously if you're an oily skin type, I think this product would work amazing for you.
Tips: Only use a small amount
