Just a few general questions as I’m fairly new to the community 😃. 1) How often is product testing approx; is it 1-2 monthly? I would love the chance to trial and review ✨ 2) How often are samples offered via the sample page? 3) Once a competition closes, how long after it expires until we find out the winners?

Why is the lotion a lot thinner in texture? 🧴 would you advice the cream over the lotion if you have dry skin/ eczema prone skin? I rate both the lotion AND the cream but why is the cream so much thicker? Is it purely for application purposes to choose between the two?

Hello @Megs2001 thank you for sharing your skin type and with and with an exciting time ahead a great time to adjust your skin routine! I recommend cleansing with the foaming gel, followed with hyaluronic acid serum to help lock in moisture and help any fine lines. Then the spf 50 lotion to moisturise and protect , then in the PM , you can apply the new oil free gel to your t zone , to control excess oil and then the PM lotion on the rest of you face. This will help to prepare your skin and maintain a glowing skin barrier 💙💚

Which face wash should I use for combination skin? I have oily T zone but sometimes my face becomes dry. So I’m a bit confused which face wash should i use?

Hey Trisha, the Hydrating Cream to Foam Cleanser or the Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser would be great if you have dehydrated skin 💚

Evening, would it matter whether you use a foaming cleanser in the bath/shower ? Just with it having a lathering effect, I find that easier- unorthodox or? I know you can apply a lot of the cleansers to the body so I assume it’s preference?

It is better to rinse cleanser off your face with lukewarm water, it helps to close the pores

Hello @Jaine the foaming cleanser is great for oily skin to cleanse with, then followed with the spf 50 lotion in the am to moisturise and protect. In the pm, the new CeraVe oil control gel will be perfect to use to control excess oil 💚💙https://www.boots.com/cerave-oil-control-moistursing-gel-52ml-10345215?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc-_-PLAs_HeroCompare-_--_-PMax:+UK_Smart_Shopping_Beauty&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrIajUz7BsLkst_xE8XfmM1MjCqU&gclid=CjwKCAjwhvi0BhA4EiwAX25uj4N2_zftMsuPx_eYs2yLh_i532lF58_u-vzPi2s6YgQcysRkRpQ11hoCXTMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

The Salicylic range or the pale green stripe foaming cleanser then also the AM/PM creams are fantastic
