I've always been too scared of using moisturizers, just for the fear that they'd make my oily-combination skin oilier and might cause pimples. I usually dilute all the moisturizers with water and then use them. Depending on the way they fare I keep on adjusting the amount of water to include, but still all the moisturizers have given a little bit of dewy to oily finish to my face depending on the environment and climatic conditions around me.
So, when I began using this moisturizer from Liz Earle, I was still a bit skeptical on the results. Now, after having used it subsequently since past few weeks, I must say that this is the best moisturizer I've ever used for oily-combination skin till date. And on that note, let us look at the review below.

My experience with this moisturizer
The moisturizer comes in an impressive packaging with a pump to get the product out and a plastic cap on it. The packaging is similar to what you'd see for most of the deodorant sprays. The nozzle softly oozes out the product in small amounts and doesn't squirt the product here and there the way I've experienced with some of the other nozzle equipped moisturizers. The moisturizer is neither too runny, nor to thick, it is just creamy and has a balanced consistency. The best thing I've found about this moisturizer is that it doesn't give any finish to my skin. That means neither oily, nor dewy and not matte either. It just vanishes into the skin and leaves my skin the way it is on the outside, without making any noticeable difference. But the difference is definitely felt inside. I feel my skin to be more hydrated and supple. Also the product has mild fragrance which is extremely relaxing and soothing to the senses.

3) The moisturizer is made up of all naturally active ingredients, hence definitely healthy for the skin.
4) It is free of harmful chemical preservatives or parabens.
5) It never gave me any break outs or allergic reactions.

Overall verdict: If you have oily-combination skin then this is the moisturizer to go for. I absolutely love using it and might purchase it again once this is over. If your skin type is oily or dry, I'd suggest you can choose the other variations of Liz Earle’s moisturizers that are meant for your skin types. This one is for oily-combination skin and I completely swear by it!
