What I think:
At first it felt a little heavy on my face. After about 10 minutes, it seemed to soak in and the smell virtually disappeared. My husband usually complains about the smell of new things I try on my face, but he didn’t even smell this one. There’s one positive!
Then, the next day I put it on after I got out of the shower. About 10 minutes later (after drying my hair) I put on my foundation right on top. I found that it actually made application smooth and easy. And I noticed that by evening, my makeup still looked great. I don’t know if it was the moisturizer or the makeup, but my face looked great all day.
The more I use it, the more I like it. And I think the good thing about this L’Oreal Vichy UV•ACTIV Daily Moisturizing Cream is that I know it’s protecting my skin from the sun. And with my pale, fair skin, protecting my skin from the sun is really important to me. I sunburn really easy during the summer, so the true test of this will come in a couple months. I will do a follow-up review of this in a few months. But for now, I would recommend it!
Now that I’m well in the 4th decade of my life, my skin type has changed from excessively oily to combination normal-to-oily. I find that I need moisture without pore-clogging oils and heavy creams. Made from Earth’s Rosehip Hibiscus Face Serum is the perfect product for providing age-defying moisture and antioxidants without a heavy cream or hefty price tag. This is one of my favorite facial moisturizers.
After washing my face with a gentle pH balanced, soap-free cleanser like the Green Tea Toxin Cleanser (also from Made from Earth), I let my face air dry prior to applying the serum in small dabs under my eyes and face.
People try to guess my age, and they are usually ten years off! Go me!!
