Advantages: Excellent value for money, Very soothing and balancing

Disadvantages: Slightly tacky for a few minutes after applying, Some people are put off by the smell

If you have oily skin or combination skin this is a great product to try. This is one of my bestsellers to my customers with oily or problem skin.

In a pump action 50ml bottle, a little goes a long way and this lasts ages (I had mine for about 4-5 months, using it twice a day). At £7 the value is excellent.

Remember - oily skin does need moisturiser to retain the natural oil balance in your skin. Many people with oily skin avoid moisturiser and instead opt to cleanse the skin, often with harsh astringent products.

This lotion is very light and glides on, it is very soothing and many of my customers have said it has reduced redness in their cheeks and from blemishes and one or two have mentioned using as an after-sun lotion for the face.

This product will not leave your skin greasy or shiny, it absorbs quickly, though some people have said it leaves skin tacky for a few minutes. After using it the skin feels fresh and looks balanced and gives a good base for make-up.

The only things that go against this product are the slight tackiness some people have noticed just after application and the smell - some people are put of by the smell which I liken to a sunscreen, though not as strong, while one of my customers though it smelled a 'bit cleaning fluidy'.
