So I finished every last drop of this pale turquoise gel/cream moisturiser. Well I left a little smidge to swatch in a vain attempt to show texture - fail.
I bought this with no thought other than it is by Sunday Riley, I like her stuff, I have money to burn - actually I didn't have money to burn but I bought it anyway, such is life.
I have listed the ingredients below - after Caroline Hirons's extremely helpful post on ingredients, I only ever look for phenoxyethanol which is reassuringly second to last.
This is a very "wet" feeling moisturiser and I was fearful that it would sit on my skin am and make application of foundation/concealer problematic, so I restricted use to pm only. But this was an unnecessary precaution, it has sat happily on my skin, am and pm, and indeed adds an extra burst of hydration if applied later pm before bed rather than applying a heavier, richer cream which tends to make me feel too oily.
It is £65 for 50mls and I bought mine from SpaceNK. I would buy it again, but maybe it is more a spring/summer weight of moisturiser rather than an autumn/winter one.
I have finished this up, and I am rather sad. This is a light but deeply hydrating moisturiser.
I think what has suprised me using this product is just how hydrating it is, for it really is a light slightly gel like in texture.
I have showed it spread out below.
And then rubbed into my lizard like hands below.This applies as a layer over a serum, and allows a primer and makeup to be applied over the top without pilling or product roll off.
I can't say that I have noticed any particular illumination of the skin post application, but I have noticed that my skin is cool, comfortable and calm. I have used this throughout the autumn and winter months without any feeling of deprivation on my skin. The product is housed in a heavy glass bottle with a pump which suprise suprise works until the end of product and the scent is gentle and soft and all encompassing without any stridency to it.
