Battle of the Face Creams

Long time no post, sorry! Anyway, I shall try to post more regularly this summer, anyway enough of that...

This is a comparison of three daily moisturisers for combination/oily skin! I hope this helps anyone with skin like mine.

1) No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Normal/Oily Skin

I do believe this is sold in more than just normal/oily skin, but that is the one I have! This cream is sold in a 50ml glass pot, out of the three it is the only one in a pot. It has SPF 15 so enough for day to day use but as we go into the summer I would need more, as I have quite far skin. It is hypo-allergenic which is suitable for those of us with sensitive skin! It is to be applied every morning after cleansing. I find this cream very thick and luxurious but not so thick that it pulls on my skin to apply. It feels very gentle, and is lightly scented but its only a fresh subtle smell! Makeup can be applied after it and it glides on easily. At the end of the day after I have taken my makeup off, I can really feel a difference as my skin is so soft. With this a little bit goes along way! I do find my nose, chin and forehead getting very greasy but almost every cream has this effect after a few hours on me. Overall a lovely luxury product! I can't remember the exact price but for more information visit www.boots.com/no7

2) Soap & Glory Clear Here Facial Moisture Lotion

I love love love all Soap & Glory products and this is definately not an exception! This controls oils on the T-Zone and can be used day and night! It is designed for oily/combination skin types...so perfect for me basically! It also claims to have PORESHRINK(TM) skin perfector and smoothing mattifying BLOT-A-LOT(TM) complex! It did smooth my skin and i found my makeup had a more matte effect when I used this. However I can't say I noticed a difference in my pore sizes! This is also 50ml but comes in a squeezy tube, and im not too sure on the price but you can check out www.soapandglory.com
This sunk into my skin so quickly that I felt I had to apply more and more! It is probably because it is described more as a lotion, this says to apply after cleansing morning and night and under your jawline aswell as the face. This also says wait 30 seconds before applying makeup! It had a lovely fresh zingy feeling on my skin like it was actually working, a fabulous product! It did not leave my face feeling too soft that it was greasy which is always good!

3) Neutrogena visibly clear (TM) Oil-Free Moisturiser

This is a more recent purchase so I can tell you it was £4.50 from Morrisons! It claims to hydrate, smooth and even out skin tone for clearer and healthy looking skin! So far that sounds very promising, and I wanted a new moisturiser because Im braking out a bit at the moment so 'oil-free' sounded very appealing! This is 50ml too in a squeezey tube and I would say its consistansy is between the two because its a thicker lotion! It glided onto my skin beautifully without dragging too much! I have some other products from this range in Neutrogena which I very much like (although nothing seems to clear my spots completely) but thats what made me pick it over a similar product from Simple. This says it should be applied in the morning on freshly washed skin! My face feels very lovely so far but I don't think I will have any bad problems with it! This has a hint of a scent but im not sure what it is because its a bit weird, it smells like it actually works though!

So they are my three products of the battle for today! I don't think there is a clear winner, they are all equally as nice for different reasons! Those are my opinions of the products on my skin so everyone may be different, I wasn't sponcered by any of the above companies and all these products were purchased by me or my mum! Hahaha, thanks for reading and I hope this helped...
Love,
