| Clinique Pep Start Hydroblur Moisturiser Review |
Who
Ah, Clinique, a well known skin-care and make-up brand. Some of there products I love (the pep start eye cream) and some I hate (the three step skincare programme did nothing for me)
What it is
This is not only a moisturiser, but also a skin-perfecting primer.
How To Use It
Alone as a high intensity moisturiser or as a primer under foundation. You can also use it over foundation to increase hydration throughout the day.
How to apply
Smooth a small (pea-sized) amount over the skin (starting with your nose and working outwards) and leave on its own or before applying makeup.

So Does it Work?
Yes, ever since I had Emmy, I've not been able to do a full-face of make-up everyday. So I'm constantly on the hunt for multitasking skin-care products as I'm always in a rush to get ready. And I must say that this does do exactly what it says on the tub. Used as a moisturiser it makes skin feel silky and soft. Used as a primer, it makes skin appear smooth and poreless.

And I must say that this does do exactly what it says on the tub. Used as a moisturiser it makes skin feel silky and soft. Used as a primer, it makes skin appear smooth and poreless.
My instant hesitation with this was that it would be too thick and heavy for my combination skin, however it doesn't break me out at-all or make skin look greasy.
I love the way it feels, as its like really thick and creamy, and gives a luxurious feel. Like a sorbet for the skin!
Its rare to find a moisturiser so thick, that easily melts into skin without feeling heavy or cakey. It makes skin feel fresh and awake (something as a new mum, I really need!)
Of course there's only so much these 'blurring' products can do for your skin. They help to cover certain imperfections, but if you have blemishes, they will still show, so will redness (I have very red skin and honestly, only very thick foundation can cover it)
While its blurring technology can't conceal every imperfection (I should be so lucky) it does help to fill in some fine-lines and seems to blur the appearance of large pores on my nose. Leaving skin looking more refressed and less exhausted.
I really like this moisturiser as it makes me feel a little more 'me' when I've been up with the baby all night.
Admittedly its not a miracle worker (I'm still on the hunt for that miracle product that can cure all my skin ailments.) BUT it is a lovely creamy moisturiser which provides hydration to even the driest skin without leaving it feeling greasy, or causing break-outs.
It also works really well under make-up as a skin primer, as it creates a silky soft base for foundation to sit on. It hides dry patches and doesn't make skin oily.
I use this under my MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and it works really well to keep skin hydrated and moisturised while wearing such a heavy foundation. It helps foundation to last longer on the skin and hides dry patches throughout the day.
This is the perfect two in one if you want to cut time out of your morning routine. Although my morning routine has gone out of the window since I had Emmy. I'm always looking for time saving products and this is one that I love.
It also says that you can use over make-up for touch up throughout the day. However I've found this to be a little troublesome. On my foundation it just looks too thick and strange. Plus why would I put moisturiser over my foundation? Surely I would just wait until I take my make-up off in the evening and use a ultra hydrating moisturiser if I'm worried about my skin being that dry? On the other hand it skin feels oily throughout the day I would just use my usual powder (Rimmel Stay Matte Powder)

Overall
At £24 its not the cheapest moisturiser on the market, however it is one of favourites that I've tried. Its great for leaving skin looking and feeling hydrated without it looking shiny or oily. It also works well at creating a silky soft base for my foundation. A great two in one that has really helped my oily skin.
