RESTYLANE Day Moisturizer review

I won Restylane moisturizer on a twitter competition, and have been using it for several months now.
When i first tried it, I found initially it was quite fraganced, but after a while, the perfume didnt bother me.
What did I think of the product? It's a lovely moisturizer, not too thick or heavy for my skin. Light enough to wear under makeup but still feels like you have a plumped skin feel. It is put out as the companion product of Restylane (as in the dermal filler Restylane). Although of course it doesnt take wrinkles away, it leaves a nice feel on the skin, and is a great day cream for all skin types.
Restylane® Day Cream is a moisturiser suitable for all skin types. The DMS lipid structure in Restylane Day Cream means it has a high biocompatibility with your own skin, which helps build up the skin’s natural protective barrier to reduce water loss and withstand premature ageing.

Restylane Day Cream contains active ingredients that improve the skin’s own detoxifying ability, resulting in soft and healthy skin. The addition of stabilized hyaluronic acid enhances the long lasting moisturising effect of the cream.
Active ingredients:
Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid, DMS, Niacinamide, Creatine, Acetyl Carnitine, Piperine and Ceramide 3.
Suggested usage:

Apply to thoroughly cleansed skin in the morning. It is recommended to use a sun protection cream SPF 15 or higher, when using Restylane Day Cream on a daily basis.

NO synthetic preservatives
NO titanium dioxide
NO benzoates
NO petrochemicals
NO artificial fragrances
NO nano ingredients

What did I think? I liked this product. It has little to no odor, it's definitely not greasy on the skin which is a big plus. It doesn't give the white shine either.

Very easy to use, all you need to remember to do is roll the tube in your hands to mix the ingredients all together, and apply like your regular sunblock. So far, it hasn't made me itch, and while I was out in the sun, there was definitely no burning occurring :) It is recommended for sensitive skin and for children (not for use on babies under 6 months) and I concur with this.

I won this product on a facebook competition from benaturallyou. I would highly recommend it to all my readers looking for a natural alternative to chemical based UV block.
