When I needed a new facial moisturizer for my oily skin, I turned to my local big store. I went to the skin care aisle and started looking at all of the facial moisturizers for sale. I wanted something that had SPF, wasn't too greasy or oily, and hopefully wouldn't break out my skin.
This is the one that I found.

My take
After using Ambi Even and Clear Daily Moisturizer
with good results and then trying another big-name brand and experiencing breakouts, I can't imagine using any other face moisturizer with SPF. It's more expensive than I'd like to pay for a daily moisturizer, but it's well worth it. When I can, I buy it on sale or when there is a coupon available.Pros:
- It really is lightweight, so it doesn't feel like I have anything on or clogging my pores
- It has SPF 30, which is hard to find in a face moisturizer that doesn't feel oily
- It's got a nice thickness, but isn't too thick, and it's not runny
- A little goes a long way, so a bottle can last me several months
- I love the pump bottle as it helps me to control how much I'm using each day
Cons:
- There is a smell that is hard to describe but isn't a bad smell. After a while, you don't notice it anymore, and it doesn't linger
- It's hard to find
Final verdict
Despite a couple of cons, the Ambi Even and Clear Daily Moisturizer is a keeper. For a while, it was my go-to daily face moisturizer. I stopped using it because I couldn't find it in any stores nearby or online shops I frequent—until recently, when I was able to find it at Amazon, Walmart, and Target.Disclosure of Material Connection: The item(s) in this post were purchased with my own funds.

Wow, this is a bit pricey for a small bottle. I'm on the hunt for a moisturizer, but I have oily skin so I'm a bit reluctant to commit to a expensive product because I'm not sure if i'll like it. But great product review girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Abbii! This is pricey, but a bottle lasts me several months. Especially because I only use it once a day, in the mornings. I use a cheaper moisturizer with no spf at night.
DeleteI've been using this for years (since 2008, I think) and it works great. It wasn't always this expensive. I find it works better for me than some higher-end moisturizers.
ReplyDeleteI love this moisturizer and agree it works better than others that cost more. I think it's gone up in price over the last few years. Thanks for reading!
