Light, probably best for younger skin

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.

Tips: Best suited to younger skin types

Not so amazing.

When this arrived I was so excited as I needed a new day moisturiser so could really trial against my normal regime. Well I was very disappointed. The smell it produced almost put me off putting it near my skin. It was rather thick and didn't soak in very well. Not exactly a normal consistency of a day cream. Found my makeup didn't stay on well with this under it. But the way it was packed made it easy to use, a couple pumps and away we went.

Unfortunately Linden Leaves is not for me..

Firstly I love the packaging, it is so fresh and clean and on point with the design. The pump tube was smaller than I expected and a little light on the amount delivered in each pump. The consistency is good, fairly thick, but the absorption rate for my skin was poor. I found my skin felt greasy all day with this product as it mostly sat on the surface of my skin. The smell was not great, I can't really describe it, it was probably due to the calendula I guess, but it wasn't pleasant. If I had to describe it I would say it was a strange mix of chalk and something acrid. The smell didn't soften or dry down on my skin since it didn't absorb. But I got used to it and carried on my day. I tried this product on it's own, with and without make up and after a consistently less than perfect experience I also tried it with a few drops of the rosehip oil from the same range. Which felt nicer on my face and was smoother in results but still had the same absorption issues. I was really surprised at my experience with this range as I have always thought Linden Leaves range looked, sounded, and smelt amazing.... but priced way out of my affordability bracket (which I also thought must mean it's the fountain of youth fabulous) so I had never tried it until now. I am so thankful I got to trial it as I would have been devastated if I had found out it didn't suit me after draining my bank account to purchase it. I am also a little sad I didn't achieve the Linden glow I was hoping for.

Tips: Try before you buy!

Not for dry skin

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.

Not a good fit for my skin.

There's so much to love about Linden Leaves! Cruelty free, ethical & natural. BUT my skin did not like this product at all! With Comfrey & Calendula as ingredients I expected great things due to their healing properties. Instead I got dry, lumpy, unhappy skin. The product box uses words such as 'youthful', 'fresh' & 'brighten'. Aside from the reaction I had to it my skin seemed mattified rather than fresh & bright. I do like the pump applicator bottle and the packaging design. The bottle is slim and fits easily into my hand with the packaging both simple and elegant. The product fragrance is light and definitely plant based. It's not offensive but not the nicest either. I personally would not recommend this moisturiser for mature skin nor reactive sensitive skin. But I am going to pass on what I have left to a younger friend with normal skin. The issue here is more my skin than the product. The price is pretty much on par with other products of a similar vein, so for me that's not an issue.

Tips: Avoid if you have reactive skin!

Didn't love

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.

Tips: You only need to use a little dot of this product
