Linden Leaves Essential Moisturiser Review

I love the soft colour on this crisp and clean packaging on the product. The tall skinny pump bottle is perfect for chucking in the handbag for moisture on the go. I found I needed two pumps to do my face and neck as this lil beauty soaks in straight away. I loved that as there's no oily residue left on your face to wreck your makeup application and no waiting around for it to absorb either. I found my skin felt hydrated all day and I believe it actually helped minimise my acne breakouts so definitely helped to balance my skin. I personally didn't find the smell of the product overly nice tho, it smells quite nutty to me, while not unpleasant it just wasn't to my tastes. I recommend this product for anyone with a time sensitive morning routine that needs a quick boost of moisture without the wait times!

I loved this moisturiser so much! It is from Linden Leaves' natural skincare range which means it contains natural ingredients, is suitable for all skin types, and the packaging was made with the environment in mind. It is a great moisturiser to apply in the morning because it's non-greasy and soaks into the skin very quickly which suits my hectic morning routine perfectly because I really don't have the time to wait for anything to sink in before applying my makeup. The product promises to help treat blemishes and help the skin's recovery cycle; which I have to agree with because it didn't make me break out, and my skin actually cleared up! The packaging in very cute and the bottle is very easy to use in a rush because it is a push dispenser. I would be very happy to use this product again, especially because it is New Zealand made!

The Linden Leaves Essential Moisturiser is cutely packaged and comes in a nice sleek tube. I found one pump was not enough for me and it took 4-5 pumps of the moisturiser to get enough product on my face and neck to feel really moisturised. In saying that I do have 'mature' (on the dry side) skin. I also was not a fan of the fragrance. Not sure whether it was the calendula or the comfrey but to me it had a weird oily smell, even though it was not oily at all.

It took a few days for my skin to get used to this moisturiser, as initially it felt too light for me, but I do like the texture of it - it is very silky and glides easily on the skin. I feel like it may be better suited for normal skin rather than dry.

However, when using it as part of the Linden Leaves Regime (day cream, night cream, and facial oil), it ended up feeling really nice on my skin, but I think that is because it was helped by the other products. I think if all I was using was the Essential Moisturiser day cream and nothing else, it would not be moisturising enough for me. All in all a nice product though, but more suited to skin that doesn't need a lot of moisturising.

First of all, how lovely is the packaging! Linden leaves have such beautifully packaged products that if packaging was the reason of purchasing the. i would be stocking my self with all the products.

My skin really suffered this winter, I had dry, patchy "angry" skin which I managed to control with a 10 step routine ( feels like a gazilion steps though) so I was really happy when I received this product as part of a moisture set review. I am not a fan of the smell but I can ignore it and it disappears after a few minutes. I tried using it alone after washing my face, the cream has a nice texture and consistency, just the right thickness for a day cream, i used 2 pumps ans it applies on smoothly. However it was not hydrating enough to use on its own. The cream felt like it was sitting on top and did not really blend well with my sunscreen even when i tried leaving it on for a few minutes before spf. I still had dry patches around my eyebrows and chin. Over all it is a lovely moisturiser if used with other hyrdrating serums.

I was surprised by this day moisturizer, it was a lot lighter than I normally use as my skin needs a lot of moisture as it's very dehydrated. It soaks into my skin well , I felt hydrated all day and what surprised me even more was how well my make up looked and stayed put during the day! I don't use a primer and I thought this moisturizer worked amazingly well. The packaging was great, love the white bottles, the company values with sustainable packaging, not tested on animals is important to me and it also contains calendula oil which is fantastic for sensitivity. The fragrance is pleasant , light not over powering, I would definitely use this moisturizer again.

I have been having hayfever and the skin around my nose has been really irritated from all the nose blowing. Luckily I had a small tube of this and I've been using around my nose in the red areas. When I use it on my face it feels a tiny bit thicker not super heavy but it's not the feel you would get from a light or gel but over the really dry rubbed raw areas it really feels good. The calendula and comfrey is soothing. It provides a very soothing sort of barrier but absorbs and I can layer my regular spf moisturizer on top without any problems. I have tried it on my full face and it hasn't broken me out but my fave use for this cream is around my red raw nose area. Now I find I don't need a lot of this moisturizer because of the texture. I'm on the fence about whether to repurchase this when the small tube runs out since I get hayfever half the year.

Im finally getting to the end of the bottle of this after near a year of sporadic use. I have sometimes sensitive skin and at times have dermatitis and I found that this was quite gentle and did not cause further irritation. I would say this is quite well suited to normal to oily skin, its not a light moisturizer per se but is certainly not super hydrating. I found this sunk into my skin quite nicely and was non comedogenic. If this came in a spf version id be more inclined to repurchase.

I got given a few samples by linden leaves and this was one of them. Most of the other samples in the pack smell so amazing but then getting to this one, i was not a fan of the smell at all. unfortunatley that put me off it quite a bit. It absorbs good, leaves your skin feeling nice and a little goes along way but i personally wouldnt go and spend $50 on it.

I was given the Linden Leaves Gift With Purchase that included this product.

It comes in a small white tube with Linden leaves branding the same as the other minis – plain and simple and appropriate for a mini.

The product is a thin white cream. It has the scent of calendula that I don’t really like. Once applied on the skin it is soft, and slightly waxy. It claims it will hydrate, balance and protect the skin from everyday environmental stresses for a fresh, youthful appearance. It doesn’t have any SPF, which is a negative, but it is quite nice. It makes my skin feel a little more plump and soft. I don’t think my skin looks more youthful, but that would be a tall order for any product.

Overall I think it’s a good daytime moisturiser – but it is limited by having no SPF and being $49.00, which is a lot of money for an average product. And I have tried several other daytime facial moisturisers that I like much better.
