Dr LeWinns Light Day Moisturiser SPF Review

The presentation of this product is very classy and easy to use. The opening confused me at first though as you need to turn the silver section to bring down the pink cover and reveal the pump (very small opening - won't dispense too much which is perfect!). Despite the creamy texture, it spreads very easily and lightly over the face - definitely fulfilling the 'hydrating' aspect of it. There is a slight sunscreen smell combined with the unique ingredients and may not appeal to some people but I found it agreeable (it doesn't linger, anyways). This product wasn't greasy at all which was a huge plus! Overall, it's a great staple moisturiser with SPF. However it's definitely on the expensive side as I've seen in stores, $50+ (thank you BR for the trial!)

I was lucky enough to be given this for trial by the BR team, so thank you to them :).

This basic moisturiser comes in a very nice white, pink and silver easy to use pump bottle. It contains SP15 so that's a great addition to anyone's skin care regime. It is also quite perfumed so if you don't like perfumed skin care products you might not enjoy using this moisturiser. I found it very light weight which I appreciate as I have combo (normal/oily) skin type. It absorbed quickly and definitely felt moisturising so it does what it says on the packaging, however (I think due to the scent) my skin didn't like it all that much as it made my skin itchy and stinging feeling, so I had to stop using it after 3 days as that feeling wasn't going away and I was concerned it could blow up into a full reaction.

I would recommend it however if you don't have sensitive skin, don't mind perfumed face products and you are after a basic moisturiser that also contains SPF in it.

From the minute I opened the packet I was enthralled. I adored the push down waste free easy dispenser. Although it did take me a minute to figure it out. The smell was really pleasant and the moisturiser was really light and felt lovely on. But after a few days i seemed to break out so not the one for me. Would use it if i needed an emergency moisturiser but not daily.

This says it "leaves skin nourished and protected"...and yes it does! I really loved this SPF15 day cream. The instant hydration is noticeable. Initially it feels silky and easily just glides on, then absorbs quickly to leave my skin feeling effectively hydrated all day. The sun protection really works; I spent a few sunny days on the Coromandel coast when I was first testing this product and didn't burn. Bonus, it worked! You can pick up a slight sunscreen smell in the scent but overall it's lovely and not too over overpowering at all. Overall I found this product left my skin looking dewy and hydrated to the point where I got a few compliments on how healthy my skin was looking!

If you're after a good all-round day moisturiser, this covers all the bases. It is light but hydrating, has a pleasant scent, has good SPF coverage and comes in a handy pump of which you only need a little bit, it goes a long way. I found it easy to apply and non-greasy but I'd leave it a few minutes before applying makeup.

The only downside for me is the price, it's quite expensive as I'd estimate it would last about 2 months used daily.

i was given a bottle of this to try, thanks to beauty review :) i love the bottle it comes in, although it did take me a few minutes to figure out how to open it, twist not push down. when i pumped some out for the first time, i was a little worried that it wasn't going to be enough for my whole face, but i was wrong, the tiny amount spread easy over my face. i don't normally use anything like this especially during the summer as i find my face sweats underneath creams and feels uncomfortable, but this cream didn't do that at all. it seems to dry pretty quickly, but leaves your face feeling very hydrated and soft. after using it for a week straight i found my skin was softer before putting it on than it used to be. for me i would use this everyday. love it :)

Packaging for this product was lovely, it felt sturdy and well made so more like a high end product. The bottle is really luxurious as well, white, pink and a flash of silver. The cream feels silky smooth and smells delicious. I have really sensitive skin so I was half expecting to start getting irritation after a few uses but it didn't affect me at all so that was a bonus. I also have really dry skin so one pump didn't quite cut it for coverage so I'm probably needing to use twice as much as some people. I does feel lovely going on and sinks it well but again doesn't last all day on my thirsty skin. I will continue to use this bottle but probably wouldn't buy it again as its really not quite rich enough for me. Having said all of that, if you have normal skin it really is a lovely product to use with SPF 15, great for every day use.

So I was really excited to use this moisturiser because I've been looking for a day moisturiser for ages now. I have slightly dry skin so anything that keeps my face moisturised during the day is good for me. I liked that there was no intense scent of the actual product. It has a thin consistency but not watery at all and I used about 1 and half pumps every morning. After the first few days I realised that it did keep my face moisturised throughout the day which is awesome but it did not have a greasy feeling at all. However, after a week of using it, i noticed that I was getting slightly raised bumps on my forehead which is very unusual for me. They were not pimples, they were deeper in my skin and made it look like I had texture on my forehead. I decided to stop using it for a few days to see if it would disappear and it did! Even though this happened to me, it may work very differently on someone else. I have found that with my skin, the less I use on it, the better my skin is. So unfortunately I will be sticking to my old moisturiser for now until something better comes along.
