Linden Leaves Essential Moisturiser Review

Im finally getting to the end of the bottle of this after near a year of sporadic use. I have sometimes sensitive skin and at times have dermatitis and I found that this was quite gentle and did not cause further irritation. I would say this is quite well suited to normal to oily skin, its not a light moisturizer per se but is certainly not super hydrating. I found this sunk into my skin quite nicely and was non comedogenic. If this came in a spf version id be more inclined to repurchase.

I have really liked a few of Linden Leaves' products but unfortunately I didn't enjoy this product. I love the sleek packaging, hard plastic and minimal design and that they use natural products, but the scent is what put me off straight away. I was a bit confused though because I had tried a sample and it didn't bother me at all. I now have a full size and I can't bring myself to use it. Also, it says suitable for all skin types but alone this is no good for dry skin, it's extremely light and absorbs really fast. So I won't be using this again.

I have been having hayfever and the skin around my nose has been really irritated from all the nose blowing. Luckily I had a small tube of this and I've been using around my nose in the red areas. When I use it on my face it feels a tiny bit thicker not super heavy but it's not the feel you would get from a light or gel but over the really dry rubbed raw areas it really feels good. The calendula and comfrey is soothing. It provides a very soothing sort of barrier but absorbs and I can layer my regular spf moisturizer on top without any problems. I have tried it on my full face and it hasn't broken me out but my fave use for this cream is around my red raw nose area. Now I find I don't need a lot of this moisturizer because of the texture. I'm on the fence about whether to repurchase this when the small tube runs out since I get hayfever half the year.

I've always had trouble finding a moisturiser that actually does what it says it will do. Many are often too heavy and leave a residue that ends up clogging up your skin and causing breakouts. Linden Leaves Essential Facial Moisturiser does none of these things. It is light and definitely doesn't leave a reside. I loved that you didn't need a lot to ensure coverage. The fragrance is light and not overpowering and your skin stays lovely and soft all day. The only down side is that, for the price, it is quite a small container but then you have to weigh that up with the benefits so I'm looking forward to continuing with the product to see if the improvements to my skin continue for the remainder of the product. I can already see that my skin looks brighter and smoother when I've used this moisturiser in combination with the other Linden Leaves products in this trial.

I loved this moisturiser so much! It is from Linden Leaves' natural skincare range which means it contains natural ingredients, is suitable for all skin types, and the packaging was made with the environment in mind. It is a great moisturiser to apply in the morning because it's non-greasy and soaks into the skin very quickly which suits my hectic morning routine perfectly because I really don't have the time to wait for anything to sink in before applying my makeup. The product promises to help treat blemishes and help the skin's recovery cycle; which I have to agree with because it didn't make me break out, and my skin actually cleared up! The packaging in very cute and the bottle is very easy to use in a rush because it is a push dispenser. I would be very happy to use this product again, especially because it is New Zealand made!

I was surprised by this day moisturizer, it was a lot lighter than I normally use as my skin needs a lot of moisture as it's very dehydrated. It soaks into my skin well , I felt hydrated all day and what surprised me even more was how well my make up looked and stayed put during the day! I don't use a primer and I thought this moisturizer worked amazingly well. The packaging was great, love the white bottles, the company values with sustainable packaging, not tested on animals is important to me and it also contains calendula oil which is fantastic for sensitivity. The fragrance is pleasant , light not over powering, I would definitely use this moisturizer again.

When this product arrived, I loved the look of the sleek and minimal packaging. I was really excited to try out a new moisturiser, but was disappointed due to the scent of the product. For me and skincare, I love a refreshing scent and this was not the case with this product. I also found that it left my skin feeling quite oily and didn't sink in that fast, so for now I think I will be sticking with my clean and clear moisturiser, but loved the chance to try something new.

First of all, how lovely is the packaging! Linden leaves have such beautifully packaged products that if packaging was the reason of purchasing the. i would be stocking my self with all the products.

My skin really suffered this winter, I had dry, patchy "angry" skin which I managed to control with a 10 step routine ( feels like a gazilion steps though) so I was really happy when I received this product as part of a moisture set review. I am not a fan of the smell but I can ignore it and it disappears after a few minutes. I tried using it alone after washing my face, the cream has a nice texture and consistency, just the right thickness for a day cream, i used 2 pumps ans it applies on smoothly. However it was not hydrating enough to use on its own. The cream felt like it was sitting on top and did not really blend well with my sunscreen even when i tried leaving it on for a few minutes before spf. I still had dry patches around my eyebrows and chin. Over all it is a lovely moisturiser if used with other hyrdrating serums.

The Linden Leaves Essential Facial Moisturiser is a New Zealand brand, made with natural ingredients and suitable for all skin types. It’s also cruelty free! I generally have oily skin, but during the winter season my skin gets very dry, especially when it’s windy. So, I was pretty excited to be chosen to trial this product.

I used this during the day after I’ve washed and toned my face. I squeezed half a pea size onto my finger and dotted my face and neck with it. I then rubbed it in to my skin in an upward motion. The moisturiser has a lovely floral smell and felt light and silky. My skin easily absorbed it and left my skin feeling smooth and supple with no signs of dryness.

I really like this moisturiser because my skin wasn’t oily afterwards nor did it get oily throughout the day. I recommend it to those who struggle with oily skin, but also suffer from dryness during the harsh winter season.

I love Linden Leaves products, beautiful packaging which is also environmentally friendly, cruelty free and they support sustainable and ethical business principles so a MASSIVE tick for that !! The moisturiser contains Calendula Oil, Comfrey & Neroli essential Oil - unfortunately I'm really not keen on the smell of Neroli so I really did find that quite of putting. It's also a very light moisturiser, for someone like me with very dry skin it was probably a bit to light so I felt like I needed quite a few pumps of the product. On the plus side, I have really sensitive skin and after using this for over week it hasn't irritated me at all (other than irritating my nostrils !!). I think this would probably suit younger skin types more that my mature skin.
