Linden Leaves Essential Moisturiser Review

This is a great moisturiser! It has everything going for it and it delivers. NZ brand, natural quality ingredients and avoids ingredients which are likely to irritate the skin.

The packaging is attractive and the pump bottle is easy to use. I found two pumps was the perfect quantity for my face and neck area. The smell is subtle and very pleasant.

I have a normal to combination skin type and found this cream to be moisturising, not too greasy, and absorbs quickly making a great base for makeup. It also can be combined with the Linden Leaves oil if your skin needs an extra boost. Some mornings I woke up and felt like my skin was feeling a little dry so with the addition of the oil it was the perfect blend. I would think that in summer I will prefer this moisturiser without the oil which is super handy if your skin changes from season to season like mine.

After using this moisturiser my skin feels softer and smoother. I can find no negatives with this moisturiser and will happily use it again and again.

My first impression of the Linden Leaves Essential Moisturiser was how simple and sleek the packaging was and I am always a sucker for pretty packaging. I found the actual product to be sufficiently hydrating but I did feel like if I wanted a bit moisture in my skin I had to use a second pump of the product. I applied this moisturiser every morning before makeup application and it served as a nice base for my makeup as it left my skin feeling smooth and well hydrated but it also absorbed into my skin really quickly and it left no oily or greasy residue behind. I also really enjoyed the luxurious smell of this product, you could tell that this product did not have a perfume scent, which would be good for people who are sensitive to perfumed moisturisers. In the past I have reviewed other moisturisers and with most of them I had some sort of reaction like breakouts, however with this moisturiser I had no breakouts. The only negative for me is the price of this product, however because it actually made a difference to my skin I will be buying this product once I run out because I feel it is worth the money.

When this arrived I was so excited as I needed a new day moisturiser so could really trial against my normal regime. Well I was very disappointed. The smell it produced almost put me off putting it near my skin. It was rather thick and didn't soak in very well. Not exactly a normal consistency of a day cream. Found my makeup didn't stay on well with this under it. But the way it was packed made it easy to use, a couple pumps and away we went.

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 love Linden Leaves products, beautiful packaging which is also environmentally friendly, cruelty free and they support sustainable and ethical business principles so a MASSIVE tick for that !! The moisturiser contains Calendula Oil, Comfrey & Neroli essential Oil - unfortunately I'm really not keen on the smell of Neroli so I really did find that quite of putting. It's also a very light moisturiser, for someone like me with very dry skin it was probably a bit to light so I felt like I needed quite a few pumps of the product. On the plus side, I have really sensitive skin and after using this for over week it hasn't irritated me at all (other than irritating my nostrils !!). I think this would probably suit younger skin types more that my mature skin.

The Linden Leaves Essential Facial Moisturiser is a New Zealand brand, made with natural ingredients and suitable for all skin types. It’s also cruelty free! I generally have oily skin, but during the winter season my skin gets very dry, especially when it’s windy. So, I was pretty excited to be chosen to trial this product.

I used this during the day after I’ve washed and toned my face. I squeezed half a pea size onto my finger and dotted my face and neck with it. I then rubbed it in to my skin in an upward motion. The moisturiser has a lovely floral smell and felt light and silky. My skin easily absorbed it and left my skin feeling smooth and supple with no signs of dryness.

I really like this moisturiser because my skin wasn’t oily afterwards nor did it get oily throughout the day. I recommend it to those who struggle with oily skin, but also suffer from dryness during the harsh winter season.

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.

When this product arrived, I loved the look of the sleek and minimal packaging. I was really excited to try out a new moisturiser, but was disappointed due to the scent of the product. For me and skincare, I love a refreshing scent and this was not the case with this product. I also found that it left my skin feeling quite oily and didn't sink in that fast, so for now I think I will be sticking with my clean and clear moisturiser, but loved the chance to try something new.

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 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!
