Reviews Summary
Customers say this SPF moisturiser absorbs well and feels lightweight on the skin, leaving a dewy glow. Many appreciate its non-greasy texture and suitability for daily use under makeup. However, the new formula has divided opinions significantly. Common concerns include a thinner, runnier consistency and an unpleasant scent during application that dissipates afterward. Some users report the new version causes dryness, pilling, or irritation, contrasting with their positive experiences with the original formula. Long-time customers particularly note disappointment with the reformulation and price increase.

    Smells and is sticky

    This is the 2nd time they have changed the formulation. I have used this product for years. This latest with the Hydrosella smells like vomit when you put it on and is sticky and tight on the face. Does not hydrate or nourish my skin at all. After more than ten years, I am now looking for a new SPF face cream. Will not buy this one again, very disappointed Alpha H. Stop changing something that works, both times I have found it not to be as good as the original

    Great Moisturiser

    This is the best moisturiser I have used and I’ve used a lot over my lifetime. It does the job it’s intended to do on my mature skin. Keeps it supple without being greasy or shiny and does not cause me to have any blemishes.

    Mornings made easier

    I used to skip the sunscreen in my morning routine. Not on purpose, it was just another step that took time, and life gets busy. This combined moisturiser and SPF means I'm back on track. My skin seems to be thanking me. I don't mind the texture or scent. It absorbs well and sits nicely if I am wearing make up

    Not a fan of new formulation

    I have used this product for many years. The improved formulation has a bad smell - like vomit. I did raise this to the customer service and was told that's the new formulation. The bad smell gets stronger and very unpleasant. Sadly, I will no longer be using this product.
