After winning the whole "face" set six weeks ago, I'm delighted to say that this marvelous moisturiser has been nourishing and protecting my face, neck and decolletage for the last month, and for my ageing combination skin, it's a keeper ♥ Apart from the bonus SPF 30, what I love about it the most is that it's so amazingly light and non-greasy, yet the formula is potent and hydrating...
Always ALWAYS the problem I have with day moisturisers (and especially those containing sunscreens) is that they invariably either clog my pores, or turn my already oily T-zone into an out of control greasefest. Believe me I've tried a whole bunch of them, from $10 supermarket versions all the way up to exxy $200+ products (including La Prairie - whoa!), and never stick with any of them because of the aforesaid issues...
To be honest I was beginning to despair - I figured if I still had problems with even the best-of-the-best, there was little hope of finding something that would work well for me on a regular basis. But of course I hadn't gotten around to trying Ego QV Face Moisturising Day Cream. I'm loving the fact that I only need a small squeeze to thoroughly hydrate my drier bits, my pores are staying clear, and I'm only patting on an oil-absorbing powder once or twice in a day instead of every hour. Also my facial freckles normally darken with a vengeance every Summer, but they haven't become any more pronounced than they were during the cooler seasons, so the sunscreen is working a treat...
Actually more like a milk than a cream, you'll need only the gentlest squeeze pressure when dispensing from the screw top tube. It absorbs so quickly that I can apply my foundation within a few minutes, and it's a pleasure to feel how soft and smooth my skin is under my fingertips. After using it for almost five weeks, the tube doesn't feel any lighter than when I started, so I'll hazard a guess that it will last up to four or five months - at around $16, I'm as happy as a clam ♥
Take care of you,

This cream really sounds lovely, Kat. Great review, hun xx
ReplyDeleteThanks babe, I'm just SO happy to have found something that my skin doesn't object to ha ha!
DeleteA good moisturiser with sun protection, definitely need to try it.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the investment hon - if it doesn't suit your facial skin, you could use it as a sunscreen on the rest of your body. That's what I've done with some of the other brands that have clogged my complexion xxx
DeleteI really really like the sound of this! So happy you won the prize as we now look forward to comprehensive reviews that will entice or make us turn the other way, I currently use & love the Neutrogena Utlra Sheer sunscreen but this works as a wonderful moisturiser too. You've described everything I want.
ReplyDeleteOh and your photos are of such high quality, coupled with your styling - you really bring out the beauty of even simple packaging. I am so looking forward to buying this xx
Jacqueline the Neutrogena one is great too - I put that on my arms so my clothes don't stick so much!
DeleteAs always I so appreciate your supportive comments sweetie, especially about my photos. I've been experimenting a lot lately with different lighting, backdrops and props, and loving every minute - it's another creative outlet too ♡♡♡
Wow this sounds like it worked amazingly for you! I love it when I find a true HG product!
