The Good

• Super moisturizing, it instantly hydrates parched skin.
• Has a lovely balmy texture as opposed to a creamy texture which spreads easily.

• The moisturizer is quite concentrated so you need a teeny tiny amount for your entire face specially if you have normal to combination skin.
• Smells wonderful.
• It's excellent as a night cream because of it's consistency and hydrating prowess.At first I was using this in the morning but I recently switched to using it at night and ever since I always wake up to super soft skin.
• I had a few dry spots on my cheeks and temples which were making me go crazy and this moisturizer took care of it easily.It did require a few applications but it did the trick.
• Even though it has a thick consistency it did not make me break out.
• Because of it's consistency it might be a great substitute for a flash balm when mixed with highlighter (loads of dupes churning in my head!) .
• Calling it Skin Repair Moisturizer is apt since it not only takes care of dry spots it also soothes sun burnt skin and minor rashes.
• Natural ingredients.

The Bad

• Takes a while to get absorbed by the skin.
• Although it's meant for normal to combination skin I did find it a tad too oily.Though that has been rectified by substituting it as a night cream, a feat at which it excels.
• The price is a little steep (around Rs 1300), but considering you need a small quantity, the 50 gm jar might not be too expensive in the long run.
• Does not contain SPF, which does not bother me much since I primarily use it as a night cream.

Love It Or Chuck It
Totally love the yummy smelling balmy texture.Though I'm using the moisturizer exclusively as a night cream I do plan to stow it away to use in the winters when it's going to show it's true moisturizing power.I do wish it were a bit less expensive and more accessible since I figure this will prove to be a friend indeed during the harsh winters.Love it and Love Liz Earle for coming up with such amazing products.
