Review of Boots Skin Clear Oil Free Moisturiser

Clear Skin Moisturiser

Advantages: Good for a couple of years
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the same effect after prolonged usage

...I used to have major problems with spots and blemishes on my face. Every moisturiser I tried left my face feeling oily and greasy and like I needed to wash it off. I went out to search for a product that would suit me. I tried all the fancy stuff, Nivea, Johnsons, Dove etc. but nothing seemed to work. Then one day I went on holiday to Devon and forgot my moisturiser. I sent my Fiance to boots to get the cheapest moisturiser that would do me while I was away and he came back with a miracle! - Boots Skin Clear Oil Free Moisturiser priced at £2.99. It is a no frills product which comes in a simple blue/lilac tube of 75ml with white and green writing. It promotes shine free skin and is made with natural fruit acids. It has antibacterial properties to fight spots. It does literally do what it says on the tube. It is absorbed...

Review of Boots Skin Clear Oil Free Moisturiser

Great moisturiser for dry skin!

Advantages: Really tackles my dry skin and protects
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...I bought this a while ago when I was going a bit crazy spending lots of money on things I don't really need! I really like the Clinique range so I decided to give this a go since I needed a new facial moisturiser, and I don't regret buying it at all. My skin gets quite dry during the cold weather so I decided to invest in a good moisturiser that combats dry skin specifically. This specific moisturiser is for 'Dry Combination' skin. It claims on the tube to be a 'continuous rescue antioxidant moisturiser'. It is meant to keep the skin strong and prevent the visible signs of aging. The tube is a metallic mint green colour. It has a large 'C' on the front in a darker shade of green and 'Clinique' written right underneath it. I like the simple design of the tube. It is made of soft plastic so the tube is really easy to squeeze in order...

Review of Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturiser Dry/Combi

quick and effective skin healer and moisturiser!

Advantages: good skin healer and moisturiser for problem skin!
Disadvantages: a bit pricey and the smell is a bit off

...My skin was normal until it hits autumn/winter time, the dry air basically dries my skin out, and constantly i feel itchy and having the urge to scratch, and this does not help with the dry skin! it makes it worst...always, towards the end of winter, i have scratches, wounds and itchy skins. Also, i have those horrible looking marks and patches of harden skins on my back! I was introduced to E45 by a friend. I knew about this brand long time ago, but thought that it was only for people with eczema or other more serious skin problems. At the end, i decided to give it a try. Did not like the smell for a start, and it is quite oily. It takes a while to get absorbed but immediately after the first application, my skin seems to stop itching. i was very delighted! A few weeks after using it, i can notice the skin patches ( because i...

Review of E45 Moisturising Lotion- Dry & Sensitive Skin

SkinSure Daily Moisturiser

Advantages: Antibacterial, free from alcohol&steroids, moisturises
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite strong enough for dry skin

...When I bought this product, I had not really heard of the company before or used any of their products, but I quite like trying new things so I decided to give this a go since it seemed like a good moisturiser. The bottle itself is made of white plastic which has a plastic screw top lid. It has a label on the front of it which at the stop has a green rectangle with 'SkinSure' written in it and at the bottom of the bottle in green writing 'daily', and down the side it has three green circles. I like the font that they use on the bottle and I also like how the design is really simple and I think the colour fits in well with the product (I like the colour green!) The lotion itself is quite thin, personally I prefer moisturiser that is slightly on the thicker side, but I really liked how easy and nice this was to apply. The thing I...

avon skin so soft daily body moisturiser

Advantages: its a tan in a tube
Disadvantages: watch out for tinted palms

...As im an avon rep i was very excited when they fetched out this new product, so let me tell you all about it Satin glow daily body moisturiser is part of avon skin so soft range. It comes in two different shades one for fair skin tones and the other for medium skin tones. Not only is it a moisturiser but it tints your skin too. I use the fair skin tone and it gives me a lovely glow, also it leaves my skin really soft and smooth, but it doesnt make me look orange like some tinted moisturiser can. It comes in a one size tube of 250 ml so it will last you quite a while. The tube itself is a light beige colour and its got Skin So Soft written in big letters on the front. Written on the back it explains that it is specially formulated to provide a natural radiance that when used continually it builds up a healthy looking glow, this...

A Simple product for radiant skin

Advantages: Good value for money, non-greasy, unperfumed, no colour, protects the skin
Disadvantages: It only comes in a 125 ml bottle.

Review of Simple Everyday Rich Moisturiser- Normal to Dry Skin

Fresh cool moisturisation, even for sensitive skin

Advantages: Immediate effects, lovely smell, smoother skin
Disadvantages: Pricey! but you get what you pay for

...I must admit I have a great love of premium branded face care products and this one is no different! I have quite sensitive skin so finding a suitable moisturiser that delivers good quality without being over perfumed or coloured is a bit of a challenge sometimes especially over the winter when drying effects of indoor heating can wreak havoc on the face. I have road tested a few of the make up products from estee lauder and have found them to be really good quality and most important for me, kind to my skin. Having been given a small sample of the daywear plus moisturiser in one of the 'bonus time' packages (you get with two or more purchases) I thought I'd give it a go. The packaging is quite simple and the moisturiser itself is a pleasant light green colour. You notice the lovely fresh cucumber smell as soon as you open...

Review of Estee Lauder Daywear Plus Cream Normal/Combination Skin

high quality moisturiser at a low price

Advantages: price for quantity, packaging, uses
Disadvantages: none

...i will admit that i have tried a number of different moisturisers over the last few years, and some have worked better than others, with this nivea product coming out trumps. As a climber, my hands are very coarse, and so i used to go through a lot of lower grade moisturiser in attempts to keep them from chapping. on my face i used to use l'oreal for men and nivea for men, neither of which were particularly incredible for my needs, so i quickly began searching again. i found that most of the misturisers designed for men were little more than ointment or paste, kind of jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none thing going on. my skin would get irritated when i shave, and also when i use an exfoliator with abrasives in it, so moisturiser was a must for me. i also have quite dry skin, so am constantly using it. TEXTURE one of the very...

Review of Nivea Skincare Moisturiser Crème

Great Moisturiser for oily skin

Advantages: Lasts for ages, balances skin
Disadvantages: cant get that last little bit out the bottle

...I have suffered with my skin since my teens. It has always been really oily and I get loads of breakouts. Throuhgout the years I have tried many moisturiers as I am very concerned about wrinkles when I'm older and know that even oily skin needs something. There are loads of products out there that claim to be for oily skin and after 10 years of trying them all to no avail I was up to try anything when a friend recomended this. I had always stayed away from the clinique counters, the sales girls wearing 6 inches of make-up and the pricey products, but I braved it and went to the counter at my local deparment store. I quickly found what I was looking for, they had a section for oily skin. This product is available in two sizes/packages, a tube of 50ml or a pump bottle of 125ml. I went for the latter which cost £27. Now it was time to...
