I found this moisturiser to be more of a sun screen masked as a “daily moisturiser.” It doesn’t provide much moisture if at all and leaves my skin feeling parched. The product sits on the surface of your skin, much like a pure sunscreen would and leaves a white filmy cast all over. Watch out for dry patches - they will be much more pronounced with the white cream sitting on top of it. I guess this is an effective SPF product but fails to be a moisturiser. -

My main concern for my ageing skin is it’s plumpness and moisture. This product doesn’t address those issues very well. I would layer it with my usual serum and moisturiser but didn’t notice any difference nor did I feel that it added any additional moisture to my face. And as a result, I didn’t notice any extra brightness or smoothness to my skin.
It had a light and pleasant fruity scent and the texture is quite light, making it an unobtrusive leave-on mask.

This mop is a workhorse. Its wide cleaning head covers a large surface area in one swipe and the design makes it easy to hold and use. There are well placed grips along the handle of the mop and the fact that the mop head is machine washable is a bonus. The spray bottle is easy to fill and I like that I can use whatever cleaner I want (for example, a homemade cleaner). -

Although this product is advertised as a 2-in-1, my experience was that this was not an effective moisturizer. I used it in place of my regular daytime moisturizer and felt it lacked the hydration I need (and this is the formulation for dry/sensitive skin!) It did, however, live up to its claim that it "absorbs instantly," but still left my skin feeling dry.
As a primer, it did smooth out my skin and help my makeup apply smoothly and stay put for a little longer. I liked that it didn't have the obvious "silicone-y" feel. It's lighter than your average Smashbox primer, for example.
In short, I don't think this product truly works as a 2-in-1 as I had to supplement with an extra moisturizer to get the effect I wanted.
