Hmm, it's OK. — 1 year ago
I got this cheap from eBay, so I didn’t pay the full £35 for it, and I don’t think I would. It’s nice enough, and it smells lovely, and it does sink into your skin luxuriously, but for £35 I’d expect it to make my skin glow, and it really doesn’t. In fact I think it may have contributed to my recent spottiness. Also, it doesn’t have any SPF factor, which is pretty much a must for me. I know why it doesn’t, and it’s all to do with animal testing, which is all very worthy and nice, so I forgive them. I have another pot of this because I emailed them and complained about the packaging, which is unsuited to the runny cream, so I’ll probably use it up out of stinginess, but next time I think I’ll try another one of their creams, one with an SPF this time.

get a sample of Ultralight (the SPF one) before splurging – it’s been relegated to night-cream status for me, as I find it rather heavy (hah!) and too greasy for under makeup.

I did exactly that...
..and while it worked really well for a few weeks, now it’s starting to feel really greasy and my face is like an oil slick by lunchtime. Back to the drawing board – will I ever find the perfect moisturiser?

is okay. Well, more okay. I’m still back to using my Simple stuff up!

Haven't tried Celestial.
I don’t think it has an SPF, does it? Yeah, I’m back on my Olay stuff, and I resent breaking my Lush-only rule, though I suppose it’s better than having a faceful of spots.

nope, no SPF
Forgot that was a requirement!

Bugger.
I’ve done a spot of research and it looks like it’s for dry skin too. No one could accuse my pores of slacking on the sebum.

actually
it might say dry, but I certainly wasn’t having any problems and I’m no sebum-slacker myself!
More for sensative skins than dry, I’d say – I found it pretty light, really. I can’t help but feel they got this and th so-called Ultralight totally mixed up!
