Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser

Like all other Liz Earle offerings, Superskin Moisturiser is brimming with natural ingredients, including cranberry seed and rosehip oil. Being from the Liz Earle ‘Superskin’ range, the moisturiser is targeted at more mature skin or very dry skin types, and claims to rejuvenate, smooth and plump.

I switched to using Superskin Moisturiser a few months ago after having been trying pure rosehip oil on my face at night. Rosehip oil is renowned for its skin boosting properties and it was definitely working well – however I felt my skin needed something a little richer and moisturising (and the orangey colour oil kept rubbing off onto my bed sheets!). Superskin Moisturiser contains rosehip oil, which really sold it to me – plus I was fairly confident that the moisturisers’ £32.50 price tag would be worth it, as I’ve had such success with Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Polish.

The moisteriser comes in an attractive 50ml tub, and the cream itself is fairly rich with an usual smell – its quite a subtle scent so its not a problem should you not be too keen on it! The moisturiser sinks into the skin quickly, and doesn’t look too greasy – you could probably get away with using it as a day-time moisturiser as long as it’s applied sparingly. Personally I much prefer to use it at nighttime so I can apply a more generous amount.

After using Superskin Moisturiser for the very first time, I woke up to fresh, dewy skin – it really hydrates and plumps, just as it claims! I also find that I need to use less than I do with other moisturisers I have tried, so the 50mls goes a long way. I find Superskin Moisturiser applied over the top of Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate is the ultimate remedy if my skin is looking particularly lackluster or is dehydrated.

I’d definitely recommend this – it’s my moisturising hero and I’m certain it is much more effective at revitalising the skin than any other moisturiser I’ve tried. The only thing I’d possibly compare it to is Elizabeth Arden Good Night’s Sleep Restoring Cream – I prefer Superskin Moisturiser but you can sometimes find Good Night’s Sleep selling for a few pounds cheaper (have a look at Beauty Fragrances.co.uk), so it’s maybe a good alternative if you think £32 for Superskin is a little too dear.
