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 loved the white, silver and pink packaging of this product although I must admit that it took me awhile to figure out how to open it. Once I discovered I needed to twist the silver section I was hit with a delicious perfumed scent, which I loved.

The moisturiser was a lot lighter than what I'm used to but it worked just as well and left my skin feeling hydrated as promised. As an added bonus it is SPF 15.

Even though I have sensitive skin I found I didn't have an adverse reaction so I would recommend this product to anyone.

I've been wanting to try this product for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to it, so I was very pleased when I was selected to do a review. The packaging is good, as I like to see products which don't put extra plastic wrapping around the box or use a huge box for a tiny bottle. The tube itself is about the same size as the box it comes in, which is great. It's a pump type dispenser and it's easy to squirt out a small amount of the cream. The cream has a very light, pleasant scent which is nice and it was easy to apply. It made my skin look a little shiny but it certainly didn't feel greasy at all. It just had a nice, healthy looking glow. I like the fact that it also has a sun protection in it, but I personally like an SPF on my face stronger than 15, but that's just a personal preference as I tend to keep the sun off my face at all cost. I do think the best "beauty secret" is to wear at least an SPF of 30 and to wear a hat, if you're going to be in the sun for anything more than just 5 minutes. I do feel that my skin looks better after using this product for a few weeks. I would use it again and would also recommend it. One thing to note is that is does have Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) which it claims will encourage cell renewal and address the visible signs of ageing. It's also an ingredient which some people may find too harsh for their skin, but I had no reaction to it at all.

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.

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.

I received this product as part of a Trial Team.

This product claims to provide long-lasting hydration while protecting the skin from signs of ageing.

The moisturiser is easy to spread on the skin and has a light floral scent. It provided a good amount of moisture for my normal/dry skin, though I do use a hydrating serum underneath. It did not emphasise any dry flakes like some sunscreens do, and it left my skin feeling supple and not greasy. It worked well under makeup and did not sting my eyes. It did not leave any white cast.

The pump dispenser is a bit iffy at times and the twist-close mechanism came apart a few times so I just keep it in the open position. I do like that it is an airless pump, which preserves the product.

I would like to see this product with a higher SPF rating.

Although I enjoyed testing this product I have found another product that offers the same benefits with a higher SPF rating and much lower price point, hence I will not purchase this product myself.

If you enjoy a little bit of luxury in your skincare routine I would definitely recommend this moisturiser.

I received this product to trial from Beauty Review and have been using it for about three weeks. Before I review the product itself, can we just take a moment to admire the genius of the pump? Whoever invented this deserves a medal. Rather than a flip up lid or separate pull off cap, all you need to do to enable the pump is turn the silver band to the left and the coral pink band above drops to make the pump operable. To lock, turn the silver band anti-clockwise and the coral band locks upwards and the pump won't work. Fantastic for travelling and for preventing spillage, leakage or the product drying up. Anywho, the actual product is a light off white cream and two small pumps give enough for full face coverage, meaning the 50ml will probably last a long time. It applies white like a sunscreen and needs to be massaged in a bit for proper absorption. Rather than than being primarily a moisturiser, I consider this to be a facial sunscreen with some moisturising properties. The cream has the look and feel of sunscreen and that's how I've used it. On the box it says "for optimal results, apply when the skin is still damp" and I found that is absolutely the best way to go. Applying to dry skin needs more product to get proper coverage and it can then feel a bit oily. Applied straight after showering you use less and it absorbs better and gives more and longer mosturisation. Although a good product, it's by no means the best I've tried; other moisturisers perform better at a lower price (e.g. Andalou, Nivea, Neutrogena). The cream has a very classy understated floral scent which does set it above some of the cheaper products though, and the scent fades quickly, which I like.

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.

To be honest I have mixed feelings about this moisturizer. I was stoked when it arrived as it has such beautiful packaging and I had high expectations for it.

My skin type is normal with a slightly oily nose particularly when the weather is hot. So I thought this moisturizer would be perfect for me.

I have tried it on its own and also underneath my make up. Make up applies nicely over it but I did find myself going shiny much quicker than my other moisturizer which was disappointing. When worn alone I also find myself shiny after a few hours. This was disappointing as it feels so light when going on and adsorbs in super quickly.

I do wonder if it would leave me less shiny in winter when my skin is dryer then it is currently. I am going to keep try using it to see if things get better or not.
