Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturiser

I have very dry skin so I was hoping my favourite brand for skin care would have the right moisturiser for me. Turns out this moisturiser worked great for a while, but it was too heavy on my skin. I would feel oily and over powered after using it. I have since switched to a gel based moisturiser which works wonders!

I love this moisturiser!! I use it every day under my makeup and when I don't wear makeup. I love that it has an SPF in it as I am determined not to bun my face and end up with sunglass marks!! It means I can apply first thing in the morning and not worry if I forget about sunscreen. I find the moisturiser makes my face feel soft and moisturised and have found that my face has never burnt when I use this product, even when I haven't reapplied and I have been out in the hot sun all day. I love it and recommend to others.

I did really like this moisturiser but found it to make my skin oily even though it states oil free, but i do get very oily skin so maybe that's why. It smelt really fresh and was easily applied. The pump bottle i found was excellent and i never had problems with it like i have had with others in the past. I still have it although it has expired which is a shame. I though the expiration date would have been further away seeing as it is only 1 or 2 years old.

I got a bottle of this when I first began my great quest for at least some SPF each day (I am fussy and have yet to find a sunscreen that has a high enough SPF that doesn't leave a white cast or a greasy face all day, and also fits my budget). I picked it up because it looked the best in my price range - and now, having experimented some more I still think that I made the right choice. It doesn't have enough SPF for my liking as I prefer a minimum of 35. But it still works as a base layer - it is moisturising, doesn't leave a white cast on my face, and has the added bonus of not making my face too greasy.

My skin type is combination dry, depending on what time on the year it is. In summer it is more oily, and in winter it does get drier and more sensitive so I brought this product in my weekly grocery shop when I had run out of my current moisturizer.

The packaging on this product is simple, it comes in white plastic pump bottle, with a clear label sticker with all the details on that. I did think the design was effective initially, but half way through the bottle the pump somehow jammed which meant I had to unscrew the lid and use the plastic pump tube to scrape the product out of the packaging which I was not that impressed with, as well as the fact that it really time consuming doing it that way. However, I think I just got a dodgy bottle, and have not heard this happening to anyone else.

The moisturiser itself is white, and slightly thick. I would say its slightly creamy but very lightweight and it does get absorbed by my skin really quickly, leaving it looking hydrated! This product is advertised as fragrance free and yes although there might not be any fragrances added to the moisturizer, it does have a smell, and one im not a big fan of. Luckily its very subtle and disappears quickly, but it kind of reminds me of a sunblock smell mixed with moisturizer! Not the best description I know!

So the big question? Is this moisturizer good for sensitive skin? Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I can say this has not made my skin break out, and it has done a good job keeping my skin hydrated in the last few months (Spring/summer). However, in the colder months I found it was not hydrating enough for my skin. Additionally, this is not my go to moisturizer in the summer months because I opt for a moisturizer with a spf of 30 or more, and my skin is in love with Oasis Apple a day at the moment. So, this is a great back-up moisturizer, but definitely not a must have moisturizer.

From the packaging to the actual product, I love this moisturiser. The pump, is perfect, no wasted spillage, you also can twist it closed The simple packaging was one of the reason's I first ever purchased it. I purchase mine from my local supermarket and at about $10 on special. Bargain! It does what it says: It doesn't clog pores, allergy tested, alcohol and fragrant free. It feels like its not even there, and with a SPF of 15, it gives some protection from the sun. I can say enough good things about this moisturiser! A product that actually delivers on everything it says it does!

This is a really nice Moisturiser and feels oil free , I have sensitive skin so this works great on my skin I apply after I use the Neutrogena fresh foaming cleanser to get rid of my makeup. I like the sent even if it doesn't have much sent to it. It doesn't make my skin feel oily or dry it has a great soft light weight feel to it . and the price is ok for what it does, I use this every night and also in the mornings b4 I put my makeup on.

I buy the SPF version of this and use it at least once to twice a day. I love it! It absorbs really well and makes my skin nice and soft. I specifically bought it originally because I wanted something that was fragrance free - something that can hugely effect the sensitivity of the product on your face. I always repurchase this.

I really love this product :).its light weight and goes a long way (I only need one pump), its spf15 which is always great, and its alcohol fragrance & oil free. after using my skin felt soft and gently moisturised just as promised so im very impressed impressed and would highly recommend this product :)

I have been using this moisturiser for over a years and cannot praiise it enough.

Comes in a standard pump bottle which is able to be 'closed' to stop the product coming out while traveling or in your handbag.

The moisturiser is light, has a neuteral smell and is easy to get the right amount due to the pump. It goes on cleanly and absords quickly - great for when applying makeup etc. I have found this great for my combination skin. The spf 15 is really handy under makeup as doubles as sunscreen.

This moisturiser lasts about a month with 2 people using it daily so I would class this good value for money. It is easily available and occassionally on sale at supermarkets.

Gorgeous product which i love to use
