I was able to trial this product As part of the trial team. My first impression was that the packaging is really nice. I liked the neutral colour and simple labelling as well as the matte finish. It has an awesome pump top which dispenses (for me) just the right amount for my face and a little left for my hands. The only downside to the product for me was the smell. It isn’t too bad and doesn’t really last but it is quite a strong herbally smell that I don’t really like- this might be worth checking if there is a sample or tester before buying if scent is important for you. In terms of function I used this in place of my regular moisturising steps and on its own I didn’t find it quite enough for my winter skin. I think it would be a great one step option for summer however. I really enjoyed how it felt on my skin after rubbing it in, not greasy but slightly tacky which usually means it will help lock in moisture in my experience. It also worked well with my other products and didn’t cause pilling or have any strange interaction that I noticed.

I have been trialing this product for several weeks as a member of the trial team. It comes in very pretty but simple packaging with a nice pump that gives the perfect 'pea sized' amount for application. It is a gel texture- it isn't so runny that it is hard to control and isn't so thick that it is hard to spread out. It has a fairly pleasant neutral scent that I don't find lingers. I have used this product morning and night in combination with my regular sunscreen and the matching foundation from Clinique. I replaced my vitamin C products for this and have found that my skin has not changed a lot, but it has also not regressed at all. It has maintained and slightly improved a bright even toned complexion. I will continue to use this product as I think it is more cosmetically elegent that some of my others that have the same purpose. It doesn't pill with my other skincare or makeup and leaves my skin feeling velvety and soft after application. I think for those that are sensitive to stronger actives that offer brightening effects that this would be a great option- I have found it to be very gentle and calming to my skin, particularly to irritated parts of my skin.

This is the first Clinique foundation I have tried and I have really enjoyed it! I used a shade matching website to help me choose and the colour is a decent match- no surprise oxidisation or weird undertone. It has a mediumish thickness- it isn't runny but isn't hard to get out of the bottle either. It has no particular smell of note. I have been applying it with a damp sponge and this has given the best results. I have also tried it with and without primer. I prefer it with primer however it isn't essential in my opinion. It gives nice coverage that I would call medium and buildable. I find that it easily evens out my skin and gives healthy colour, while some building up or use of concealer helps with redness or dark marks. I have found that is has lasted well for the time I have worn it. Working from home means that I haven't really been able to give it an extensive wear test in different heat/humidity/really long times etc. I have been setting with a translucent powder and have found it to have minimal transfer, including when wearing a mask, compared to other products I have been using.

I received this product to trial and it came at the perfect time. Coming home to dry Melbourne weather after a trip to very humid Bali my legs were very dry and I was looking for a product to moisturize and protect the skin, but I can never be bothered putting lotion on. The Jergens wet skin moisturizer goes on right after the shower and you only need a small amount to get good coverage. I think having wet skin allows it to spread more easily. It does have a scent, so be aware of that is something you avoid. I really liked the smell as it was fresh but reasonably subtle. The usual fake tan smell does come through after a while (i noticed it the next day after applications at night). But it wasn't any worse than similar gradual Tanners. The only downsides I found were 1. The colour didn't suit me as well as others. It wasn't orange but was too warm for me and 2. I found it stained my nails and dry skin on my fingers- I probably needed to wash them more thoroughly but it's not coloured so it can be hard to know you got everything without scrubbing.

I tried this product for a few weeks and ended up using it generally as a before make up moisturizer. I initially tried it in place of my night time step but found it was not rich enough for my liking. The cream is really nice feeling and it absorbs quickly into the skin. This made it really good beofre makeup as it has a nice smooth finish that is not too sticky, so it makes a reasonable primer for basic makeup. It was very cooling and had a nice smell as well. I think combined with my spf moisturizer it added some extra hrydration in the morning without any extra hassle. The only significant down side to this product for me is the tub packaging. It's totally gorgeous and luxe looking, but I really wish it was a pump or tube as I hate putting my fingers into products over and over.

This product was really interesting to trial. I initially tried it with my Foreo Luna which was completely the wrong method, so definitely follow the directions properly haha. When I re tired I used it as a morning cleansing step for days I didn't want to have a shower before getting dressed. I found that it removed my night time product leftovers well. I didn't love the feeling it left after however which is why it never became an every morning step for me. I found it stung my skin a little on some days when it was already dry so if you are sensitive be sure to test patch and just watch out in case it doesn't agree with you. I loved the packaging and smell of the product and the concept of a cleanser that works like a toner was cool to me. I would see myself taking this on a plane or when travelling as a nice way to freshen up without needing access to a shower or sink.

I trialed this product for a few weeks and found that it was pleasant but not essential in my skincare routine. I took to using it after the shower for some instant hydration and to stop any dried out feelings after washing my face. It was quite nice to use but I did find it slightly irritating at times when my skin was already dry. I tray enjoyed the packaging, it looks like ombre frosted glass but is actually plastic, so good for traveling if you want to have it with you. I also really liked the smell as it didn't longer but was fresh and sweet during use. Overall I wouldn't buy this again for myself as I have a preferred product to fill this role, but I will use it up and wouldnt be surprised if other people found it to fit really well in their routine.

I was super lucky to be chosen to trial this product for Beauty Heaven and have been using it once a day for just over a month. To start with, the packaging was nice with lots of barcodes and Holo stickers etc. For authentication if you need the reassurance on such a pricey item. You need yo use app to unlock the device at first, which to me is not ideal, but it seems to be part of the security/authentication process. It did get started easily but I found the app a bit clunky to connect with for changing settings. The app does have live chat help which is helpful, I was able to get help with the app which seems to lag a little bit at times. In the end itndoesn't affect use but can make changing settings hard. I altered the settings from the default to a slightly longer program that goes for a bit over a minute on slightly above middle strength. My skin feels very smooth after each use, not tight or scrubbed, but it feels soft and clean. I feel like I get everywhere I need to, even corners of nose etc without any issue as some people have been concerned about. I love that the device needs hardly any charging between uses (I charged it once when I got it), it would be better if the charger port on the device was a standard USB or something because it would be easy to lose the cord between charges. I also like that the device is silicone and not a brush like others as it seems much easier to keep clean and sanitary. Overall I have found this product to be effective in cleasning and encouraging me to clean my face more thoroughly because of the timer. My skin has remained very clear through some usual triggers such as hormonal changes and cold windy weather. I can't speak to anti-aging effects particularly but the smoothness and general clarity makes any fine lines or flaws appear minimised anyway.

I was lucky enough to trial this product and have found a new favourite! I loved the packaging to start, it's very classy and pretty- It looks lovely on a shelf or vanity. The way I liked to use it the most was after my shower at night before later doing the rest of my routine. Using it this way I found was really effective as it prevented my skin drying out and feeling right after my shower so I didn't feel the need to rush into the rest of my products if I didn't want to. Aside from being really refreshing and calming, it offered enough quick hydration to be a useful extra step in my evening and I could see it also being really nice in summer after being in the heat. The spray nozzle was ok, I would've liked a finer mist but once I got used to it it was fine. It did get in my eyes a couple of times which stung, but not for long. The smell was really lovely, light and refreshing but also a really clean scent that lasts a little while but isn't overwhelming and doesn't stay for too long.
