Description
Perfect for dry, sensitive and more mature skins that wish to address the visible signs of ageing, Balance Me's Moisture-Rich Face Cream is designed to plump, protect and prime your skin.
This daily moisturiser helps to enhance the natural radiance of the skin, effectively locking in moisture and providing the perfect “slip finish” for the application of make-up.
Enriched with Balance Me's signature trio of butters and oils (including organic shea, camellia and rosehip), the powerful anti-oxidant Arctic cloudberry and a bespoke blend of rose and benzoin essential oils, this smoothing cream leaves your skin hydrated, plump, firm and ready for make-up.

Directions
Apply to a cleansed face, neck and décolletage, massaging the cream gently in circular movements from your nose outwards. When your skin is particularly parched, apply as a second layer of protection over Balance Me's Radiance Face Oil.

Summary
I received a travel sized version of the product which comes in simple packaging, different from the full sized version. The product has a rich, creamy texture and applies easily to the skin and absorbs nicely. It has a strong fragrance and this may not appeal to some users. It is suitable for normal to dry or sensitive skinThe price point is a higher than family brands, although this product is a natural one with organic ingredients. The price may be off-putting to some consumers.

Summary
I received this in a beauty box and couldn't wait to try.
I heard good reviews about this company so when I received it, I was happy.
The scent is very strong, which surprised me.
The consistency of the cream is medium and easy to massage into the skin.
No real benefits, other than skin was soft.
The scent lasted ages and because annoying after a while.
If you can stand the strong scent, it isn't a bad moisturiser.

Summary
I received this product in a monthly beauty box, at first I GROANED when I saw it, as many magazines were giving away free Balance Me products at the time, but I was pleasantly surprised - found it extremely hydrating for my dry skin, with a lovely rose fragance, it applied really well, and I was very impressed!! would definitely purchase a full size of this product.

I love this its one of my favourite scents but cant afford it all the time so santa was instructed to get me some and bless him he delivered.This is easily absorbed without greasiness and helps skin appear softer and more radiant. its effects can be felt for quite some time so you feel confidant your skin is looking at its best.There are no cheap nasties in there but then this makes this a little more expensive than some other moisturisers. I love the fact this has no parabens/ sulphates mineral oils petroleum etc in it and if you can get this on offer ( sometimes they have offers in Boots or on the website) its well worth buying

A rich pampering product feels amazing and the smell is great subtle and not overpowering. Paraben free
