Advantages: Good value, excellent product, vegan, long lasting

Disadvantages: Packaging can waste a bit of product, maybe better in conjunction with a heavier night cream for mor

As part of my 'Lets try Lush facial skincare regime' mission I embarked upon, I was recommended Imperialis by the lovely sales assistant, to help my 40 odd year old, combination skin.

For £10.48 for 45g of product, this seemed like fairly good value for me - considering what I would normally pay, and have paid in the past for premium skincare - I actually got the whole regime, cleanser, toner and moisturiser for around the price of what I paid for my last moisturiser!

Again, Lush makes the products fresh and should be used within 14 months.

The product itself is a light, soft peachy-pink coloured cream, with a floral scent, but predominantly lavender, from what I can pick out.

You only need a tiny amount, and it sinks into the skin easily, moisturising dry areas, leaving them soft and I can feel it balancing out my shiny t zone area.

It leaves my skin soft and smooth, ready for make up if I am doing it. I find this fine for day time moisturiser, but, as I am now over 40 I think I need a bit more help with the wrinkle department, so am considering Lush's Gorgeous moisturiser for evening use.

A drawback to the packaging I find is that you need to be ultra careful when screwing lid on, make sure its REALLY tight, otherwise the product tends to get clogged up in the screwtop lid. It would possibly be better in a pump action bottle, and also better for travelling

Summary: Beautifully light lotion, great for combination skin
