As I prefer a day moisturiser with SPF/UV protection I knew when this came in the BRBB I would try it as a night time moisturiser.
Im all for natural products and NZ made so I had high hopes for this wee mauve coloured bottle.
Unfortunately it really disappointed me, it made my face a total oil slick even when only using the tiniest of squeezes, so much so that every time I tried it I had to wash it off. It felt thick and heavy, almost like a cleanser which needed rinsing off. So even giving it a try prior to my morning makeup application was a bit too risky for me.
On the plus side I really don't mind the fragrance of it, so like some of you mentioned using it for a hand cream will be awesome (especially since I get really dry hands) so all is not lost.
I find both the box and the tube to be aesthetically pleasing. The tube is handy and easy to use. The moisturiser has a lovely light smell and it seems to melt into my skin. My skin immediately feels and appears more hydrated. It is a good base for foundation. It does not cause my acne-prone skin to break out which is something that does happen with some skin care products. The only downside for me is that it does not contain a SPF which means an additional product needs to be applied. This would prevent me from buying it again.
Tips: Wait a minute or so after application for the product to settle into skin before applying foundation.
