Almay Daily Moisturiser for dry skin

I picked up this moisturiser a few months back in Perth at Gloss and thought it sounded pretty good. Usually I just use a vitamin E cream for both day and night because I admit to being pretty bad with my skincare routine (as in I don’t have one). The one thing I do try and be good with though is sunscreen because I have very pale skin and I burn very easily. So the idea of a moisturiser with sunscreen is perfect for me which is one of the reasons I chose to buy this one. The other two reasons are its said to be fore dry skin and it was only $9.95. You get 118mL (4 Fl Oz) for your money which is a pretty good amount.

It is part of a 3 step system but I haven’t been able to find the other two items and I haven’t really looked that hard to be honest (I get a regular Bella Box which has so many skin care products its hardly worth the effort to go out and buy others).

The packaging is great, it looks nice, isn’t bulky, its comfortable to hold and the pump works properly and gives an even and controllable amount of product.

It has a thin consistency and smooths over the really nicely. It does have a slightly stick consistency once applied like most sunscreens but that doesn’t seem to last very long. It smells like sunscreen which is a bummer because lets face it, sunscreen does not smell nice. But like the sticky feeling the smell goes away pretty quickly. I can’t even smell it right now as I write this and I haven’t been wearing it more than 5 minutes. It does leave your skin a little bit shiny looking for a while which usually isn’t a problem for me since I just cover it with makeup anyway.

All in all this moisturiser is more sunscreen like than moisturiser. It doesn’t dry out my skin which is good but I don’t feel it adds moisture either. That being said the sunscreen would help to retain the moisture that is already in my skin. So I would say its an OK moisturiser but a very nice sunscreen.

I would definitely repurchase this product once I’ve finished it.
