I suffer from the horror that is combination skin, it's very sensitive but also quite oily, so I have spent years trying different facial skincare products and I have to say when I bought this moisturiser I was excited to see whether it would work.
I've never used a moisturiser that felt so light on my skin, I've always hated that heavy, greasy feeling that comes with some moisturisers. The texture is more like a gel than a cream like most moisturisers I've tried so it didn't leave a chalky residue. It left my face looking and feeling beautiful and matte without making it look dry. I also found it made quite a nice base for my make up as well which is great.
This is the best moisturier for anyone with sensitive and oily skin and so affordable. So you can imagine how devastated to find out that it's no longer available. I've been trying out some different moisturisers to try and find a replacement but so far nothing compares to this and I'm down to the last quarter of my bottle so I've become slightly desperate in my search for a replacement. All I can really say is Boots, please bring back this moisturiser!!

Summary
I love this moisturiser, it is very light and easy to apply, does not clog your pores and skin is looking healthy.
Does not leave a greasy residue, shine to the face and does not leave skin feeling tight.
The bottle is really lovely and easy to use.
Does leave skin feeling and looking clearer, helping blemishes look less angry red.
Would not expect the moisturiser to do anything more. It's fab!

Excellent value for money and long lasting. Does not cause greasiness and rebalances the skin. Easily absorbed and very light texture. Nice natural ingredients and great pump dispenser
Weakest points
No obvious anti-ageing benefits
Summary
This is a lovely light texture moisturiser and I was pleased with the results when I went through a stage of excess oil production. It does calm and balance the skin and the texture is super light and easily absorbed. I did not notice any anti-aging effects and felt I wanted a slightly stronger product to address these issues. Would highly recommend for problematic and sensitive skins but not those looking to hold back the hands of time
