Advantages: moisturizes without leaving my skin greasy, doesn't irritate skin

Disadvantages: No spf

Dramatically diffent moisturizer is a product that I have been using for years usually in combination with the 3 step routine. I like to change up my moisturisers every few months so that my skin doesn't become too used to any one product but the dramatically different is one that I go back to and I usually buy at least one bottle a year.

The moisturizer is in the mid range price bracket at £15 for a 50ml bottle which will last me about 2 to 2 and a half months. I don't think this is a bad price t pay especially when you consider some other moisturisers from premium bands can be double this.

The moisturizer is more of a lotion than a cream and is light in texture and when applied to the skin is immediately absorbed. Although it is very lightweight I find that it gives me good moisturization and stops my skin from feeling dry and tight. I have combination skin and can have patches of dry skin on my cheeks and greasy skin on my forehead and nose. With the dramatically different lotion it leaves my skin feeling uniform and never greasy or feeling like there is a heavy cream on it.

I prefer using the moisturizer in winter as it is one of the few moisturizers that I have found that is good enough to leave my skin feeling hydrated without being too rich and creamy which can leave me with breakouts.
I also suffer from Rosacea and dramatically different is one of the few moisturizers that I can be confident wont irritate my skin no matter how sensitive it is feeling.

Within a few days of using it I always notice my skin is looking and feeling better and it really helps with the texture of my skin and also it looks healthier with a radiance that was missing before.
If you find that the lotion is too rich for your skin they also do a gel which is what I use in summer and it has all the great benefits of the lotion but is much lighter and fresher for the warmer months.

I dislike the bottle that it comes in only due to the fact that when the lotion i running out I find it difficult to be able to get to the last dregs of it and I would prefer a squeezable tube instead.
I also wish it contained an SPF so I didn't have to add something else on top.
Other than these little niggles dramatically different is a fabulous product and one I highly recommend.

Summary: A great everyday moisturizer
