Product Review: Nuxe Crème Fraîche de Beauté Light Combination Sensitive Skins

Claims
This face cream should be a light textured, 24-hour moisturiser especially designed for combination skin. Your skin is supposed to feel fresh, soft and matt throughout the day.

My opinion
I was not impressed at all with this face cream. Firstly, I think it is overpriced (£25 for 50ml). Secondly, it feels uncomfortable and sticky on my skin. Thirdly, I did not like the scent which I thought was very artificial. The only advantage would be that it moisturises your skin. All in all, I do not recommend this product.

Product Review: Dermatological E45 Moisturising Lotion

Advantages

This product is perfume-free, hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, allergy screened and especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin. You can use it to moisturise your body, face and hands, and it is suitable for the whole family including babies. I like skincare products which are straightforward. Especially when travelling, I think it's great to be able to bring one product and you're sorted. Furthermore, the formula is non greasy and easily absorbed for a light feel on your skin. It is also good value for money.

Disadvantages

The only thing I can mention is that it contains petrolatum and parabens, which I'm not a big fan of.

Conclusion

In spite of the disadvantages, I would recommend this product to anyone who has sensitive skin given the many advantages.

BEST Non-Oily/Comedogenic Sunscreens: 3 Products Compared

There are not many non-greasy sunscreens on the market, which is why I have been looking for the perfect product for quite a while. I have oily/combination skin so I'm always searching for non-oily and non-comedogenic products for my face. This is a review on 3 such products.

1) Solait SPF 50 Mattifying Face Sun Fluid, Superdrug

Advantages

This product has a high SPF which is great. Also, it is small (50 ml) so you can easily bring it with you when travelling. In addition, it does not dry out my skin. Plus, it has not been tested on animals. Finally, the price is good (around £3).

Disadvantages

This product does not feel as light as it claims. In fact, the texture of the cream is quite heavy. Also, I did not think it was particularly mattifying.

2) La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Extreme Face Fluid SPF 50

Advantages

This product is perfume- and paraben-free, water resistant and non-comedogenic. In addition, it offers a high SPF protection. Finally, it is even suitable for the most sensitive skin.

Disadvantages

The disadvantage is that this product feels a bit too heavy on my skin. Also, the price is too high for what you get (£16.50 for only 50 ml).

3) Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen SPF 70

Advantages

This product is amazing - I have finally found THE product for my skin. You barely feel you have cream on your face, this lightweight formula was exactly what I was looking for. It absorbs instantly and provides a non-shiny finish. Also, it offers high SPF protection. Finally, it is waterproof, sweatproof, non-comedogenic, oil-free and PABA free.

Disadvantages

The only downside is the price: $12.49 for 40ml is more on the expensive side, however I believe that this quality product is worth the price.
