Linden Leaves Moisturising Regime Review

Firstly, THANK YOU BR for sending me these products and THANK YOU LINDEN LEAVES for being a beautiful natural 'no-nasties' NZ brand!

My favourite product out of the three would have to be the miraculous facial oil. It lives up to its name and I've noticed an overall smoothing of my skin with visibly decreased acne scarring. The moisturisers both do their jobs well; my dry patches on my cheeks are gone and oil production on my combination skin is much more even. The essential moisturiser is great for day use, and the night cream (mixed with an extra bit of facial oil for added oomph) leaves my skin hydrated and plump in the morning.

The only negative was my initial reaction to how pricey it is. BUT, the regime is 100% worth the price! The oil in particular will last you months and months, and the results and the care that has gone into sourcing natural ingredients is definitely worth it. Supporting NZ brands is a bonus too!

My skin is GLOWING thanks to this regime and I've even had friends comment on how 'alive' I've been looking haha! Would highly recommend.

I am so grateful to BR for including me in this trial as moisturisers are the one thing I can't live without as I have mature skin. Used as a triple combo, these 3 products do WORK !!!!

If I had to pick one as my utmost favourite it would be the Miraculous Facial Oil. Its like a mini facial in a bottle and so versatile. I tried it on its own, added to the night cream, and even under concealer. It smells lovely and absorbs into the skin well - and you wake up with a fresh glow and lovely feeling skin. I will definitely be buying this after I run out, however, I think it will last quite a while as it only takes a few drops at a time.

The Essential Moisturiser (day cream) is light and silky. I am not a fan of the fragrance, but it glides on well and has a great texture. I would not use it on its own as I like a richer, heavier moisturiser, but used in conjunction with the other two products, my skin totally got used to it and started to feel well moisturised during the day - although it did take quite a few pumps to get enough product on my face and neck to feel good, so I would probably go through this product quite quickly.

The Regenerative Night Cream on the other hand was rich and lush and creamy. It had a gorgeous fragrance and one pump covered the face and neck. I used it both on its own and also tried it with a bit of the oil, both worked well. On nights when you feel like you need a bit of an extra boost, add the oil, but it still holds its own without it. I really liked this night cream and will definitely buy it again.

All in all I'm loving this regime. Used all together the products work well. Individually the oil and night cream were my favourites and although I did get used to the day cream, I would not use it on its own without the support of the other two products.

As a total beauty regime, this is a good one, especially for mature skin !

I'm excited to report that Linden Leaves hit it out of the park with this trio! If you're like me, then you'd always known Linden Leaves to have lovely body oils that have real flowers in them. They've had a revamp and come out with a skincare system that springboards off all of their history of plant based Kiwi goodness. I was excited to receive the three products together and I'll also review on their own, but I will say, where they find their strength is in combining them all together.

Firstly the facial oil is lovely. It's not greasy at all to apply and it has a lovely light fresh fragrance. I received this first so started using it in place of a night cream and was really impressed. When I woke in the morning my skin felt refreshed and plump.

The moisturiser felt a little lighter in contrast. Definitely more of a summer consistency on it's own! But I read that little trick of mixing just one drop of facial oil with the moisturiser and voila - it was so lovely! I wore this combo underneath Estee Lauder Double Wear and you know that it's got to be good it it holds that up! Added to that, it made my EL Double look natural all day ie. my makeup didn't look dry at around 3pm and need me to spray it with Fix Plus to add moisture!

The night cream is just beautiful. You can wear this on it's own or after applying the oil, if you're feeling a little dehydrated. I found that my skin is just starting to look amazing in the morning -and I wake up at 4.30 every morning so that's saying something. And no, I'm not a tween. I'm a 45 year old full time working Mum of three kids so the mornings can look pretty tragic. I can say that my skin is glowing with this regime - no doubt about it. If they have an eye cream I want to get all over it!!

Quite simply, I love this regime and I use the word simply because 'regime' seems too regimented for what this really is. Linden Leaves incorporates the very best in botanical skin care without compromising its kiwi heritage and leaving a huge dent in your wallet. The Miraculous Facial Oil is divine. It not only smells delicious it applied nicely to the skin without feeling too heavy. I instantly saw an improvement which I have to say is quite a challenge for any beauty product. My skin glowed from the first application and I noticed all the winter dryness soothed and my skin revived. I followed the oil with the rejuvenating night cream and whilst at first I thought this might be too much I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The next day my face was bright, the bags under my eyes were history and my skin was alive and so very soft to touch - no grease in sight! After washing my face and applying the day cream which again, instantly absorbed and brightened my skin I was set. And that was it. So easy and simple for such maximum results. I am fully converted and these gorgeous products will be a regular in my bathroom. I loved the botanical smell, the easy application and the value for money package size.

Simply put this moisturising regime is amazing! Linden Leaves is a NZ based company which uses only the best natural ingredients. You can be certain that there are no nasties in these products!

I have used all of these products alone and together with the oil. These three products really do work amazingly well together and each has something great to add.

I absolutely adore the face oil as it can be used alone or mixed into the day or night cream. One drop into either cream transforms them into a decadent facial treatment. The oil absorbs really quickly into the skin leaving the skin feeling perfectly soft. Even my husband who hates oils has been using this oil alone at night and loving it! He gets very dry skin and there is a noticeable difference after one application of this oil.

The night cream feels like a night cream should, like a thick ultra moisturising treatment. The night cream absorbs in quickly and feels super soft. Some nights I want an extra boost which is when I add a drop or two of the oil. Alone or with the oil the skin look hydrated and glows after using the night cream.

The day cream is much lighter than the night cream which is perfect for wearing under make-up but if you require something heavier that is when using it with a drop of oil is fantastic.

What I love about this moisturising regime is that thanks to the oil it is super adaptable. Both of the creams are great without the oil but on the days or night that you feel (or can see) that your skin needs something a little more then just a drop of two of the oil into the cream will make a big difference. Our seasons can create havoc to the skin so it is nice to be able to have something tailored to dry wintery skin or to leave it lighter on a hot humid summers day.

I love the soft colour on this crisp and clean packaging on the product although it does hide away on the shelves a bit in comparison to some other eye catching brands. The bottles are all sleekly designed and dispense the product well in accurate amounts for application. I personally loved the night cream the most in this trilogy of products, from the texture of the product, to the pump dispenser, to the gorgeous fragrance. It made me feel like my skin was getting a spa treatment as I slept. I also liked the textures of the day moisturizer and facial oil, both were non greasy and left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated however I didn't like the fragrances of the two of these as much. They were not unpleasant but just not the sort of smell I enjoy. I used the ddat moisturizer every morning under my makeup and was quick and easy to apply and soaked into my skin fast so I could get into my makeup application without delay, LOVE THAT! I used the night cream after removing my makeup and cleaning each night for an overnight facial mask and I swear the smell of this helped me sleep, it smells a little like lavender to me. I used the facial oil once a week for an extra moisture boost as I have oil prone skin, however this regime made my skin less oily and less prone to break outs so I'm happy with that! Overall I would recommend this set for anyone that needs a complete skin care system that's easy to use, does what it claims and makes your skin naturally healthy.

The Linden Leaves Moisturising Regime is a New Zealand brand, made with natural ingredients and suitable for all skin types. They’re 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 these products.

Linden Leaves Essential Facial Moisturiser - 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.

Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil - I only used this oil during the night time. I washed and toned my face before I applied the Linden Leave Miraculous Facial Oil. I followed the instructions on the box. I squeezed three drops onto my palm and rubbed my palms together. I then applied the oil onto my face and neck. I also dabbed the oil around my eye areas. I found that the oil was light and non-greasy as my skin didn’t appear oily, which I feared it might. The morning after I’ve applied the oil, my skin remained non-greasy and it was also smooth and all appearances of dryness had disappeared. Over the few weeks of using the oil, the scars on my skin appeared lighter. The only thing I didn’t like about this product is the awful smell, it often made me gag, but over time I got used to it. I might just have a sensitive nose. Otherwise, I believe the Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil is a fabulous product.

Linden Leaves Regenerating Night Cream - The bottle is very intriguing, I’ve never come across a bottle that pushes the cream upwards. I used the night cream during the night time after I’ve cleansed and toned my face. I also applied a layer of the Linden Leaves Miraculous Oil before I rubbed in the Regenerating Night Cream. I followed the instructions and warmed half a pea size between my fingers. I then massaged the cream into my face and neck. I also dapped a little around my eye areas. The Regenerating Night Cream has a lovely floral sent and felt light and silky. My skin was left smooth and supple with no signs of dryness. I also had no signs of oil residue once applied and when I woke up in the morning.

With the combination of the products, my skin surprising didn’t get oily like it usually does. I definitely recommend these products to those who struggle with oily skin, but suffer from skin dryness in the winter.

For me, the Linden Leaves Moisturising Regime can do no wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this regime and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I used the essential moisturiser every morning after I washed my face and before makeup application and even though you need to use at least 2 or more pumps to cover your entire face, I still found that it kept my face hydrated the whole day and it worked as a great base for my makeup.

The night cream and facial oil were mostly used together which created a deeply moisturising mixture that lasted the whole night. I also found that my pimple scars that I had on my chin disappeared completely and that made a huge difference to my face. Overall, I do feel like this regime has improved my skin by making it smoother, giving me a more even skin tone and a more brighter, healthy complexion. I think these products are worth the money and it is definitely worth it to invest in proper skincare.

After using Linden Leaves' essential facial moisturiser, regenerating night cream, and miraculous facial oil for some time now; I can say that it has been great for my skin and felt very indulgent! At first I was worried that it would all be too much for my blemish prone skin but it didn't make me break out at all, but instead just felt very hydrating. This regime is easy to follow and quick to use which is great for someone like me who wants to both get ready for bed/get ready in the morning, quickly. It is also suitable for all skin types so that suited me very well as I am young but still want to prevent early signs of ageing. I would happily use this moisturising regime again!

This regime of natural New Zealand-made products is an absolute treat for your skin. From the beautiful packaging to the subtle fragrance, you feel as though you are at a salon having a facial when you use these products. The Miraculous Facial Oil feels incredible on your skin and doesn't make your skin feel greasy at all which some oils often do on my skin, so I was a little sceptical about trialling this one. In the weeks I've been using it, I've also noticed that the redness in my skin is beginning to decrease which is such a bonus! I'm looking forward to seeing if this continues over the weeks to come. The Essential Facial Moisturiser is light and works well when combined with the oil. It's also great that you don't need to use a lot. The Regenerating Night Cream is an absolute treat and feels like you're really spoiling your skin - especially if you're starting to notice a bit of 'wear and tear'. I've noticed an improvement in the elasticity and tone of my skin. Although these products are a little more expensive, they have so many benefits in that they are natural products, great for the environment, you only need to use small amounts so they last for ages and they are not tested on animals, just to name some of the great points of Linden Leaves as a company, so they're definitely worth supporting. I'm really looking forward to continuing with the products.
