Yes to Tomatoes Daily Balancing Moisturiser for Combination Skin

(sorry about the paws - Domino decided to sit uncomfortably close to my photo set-up)

Earlier this month I spent £11.99 on a moisturiser that I thought would be fantastic. It's designed for combination skin (which I have) and claims to help clear your skin. It was definitely a product that I was excited to use.

So on first use I was thoroughly surprised to find that it made my skin sting a bit and look somewhat red.

"It's just because it's working," I said to myself. Wrong.

The next morning when I used it again, the same kind of thing happened. Covered up the redness with make up and thought no more of it. On another evening application I soon realised that the moisturiser wasn't absorbing into my skin either. Super useful. I woke up with my skin still greasy from the previous night.

Worst of all, it dried my skin out to the point that in parts (weirdly the same parts that had been most oily before) it was actually kind of flaky. Pretty sure that's the opposite of what a moisturiser is supposed to do.

I don't have sensitive skin and I see no reason that the product shouldn't absorb into my skin. So I'm officially ranking this 2/10, would not recommend to a friend.

Rant over. If anyone has any good moisturiser please tell me, I'm kind of stuck at the moment!
