I received my first pot of Layla D Honey Moisturiser in the July She Said Beauty Box, you can read about the rest of the contents of the box here.
The cream smells very strongly of honey, so much so that when I first got this I didn't want to use it on my face. I used my first sample size pot up on my feet! A little bit of this cream goes a long way and the sample size lasted for two weeks, at the end of the two weeks my feet were softer than they had been in years. After talking about it so much I was given a second pot from Karen at Memories Made in Silver.
The moisturiser is made from 100% organic ingredients and is paraben and sulphate free - as are all the products from Layla D. The full size retails for £12.99 here.
The strong smell of honey may be off-putting to some but personally I like it! The smell does tend to stay around for a while too.
The cream has a light whipped texture and is easily absorbed.
I have combination skin and I get breakouts on my chin. The moisturiser is described as a gentle and soothing daytime moisturiser to protect, restore moisture and calm skin. After reading that the Honey and Macadamia oil help to heal the skin and help treat adult acne I braved it and put it on my face.
I have been using this on my face for the past two weeks, I have had no new breakouts (including no hormonal breakouts!) and it seems to have reduced the redness around my chin. My skin looks plumper and feels more hydrated.
This is the first product I have tried from Layla D and I will definitely be trying more from this range.
Have you tried this product? Or, anything else from Layla D?
Sounds like a lovely cream, honey is amazing for the skin especially manuka, I also adore macadamia brilliant for dry skin & hair plus macadamia nuts are very tasty to eat :)
ReplyDeleteI know we were talking about my sons dry patches - I am going to try this on him and see if it helps xx
DeleteGlad you like it , I really didn't like the strong smell, but it sounds like it is a great cream x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the pot you gave me xx
DeleteHow funny that you used it on your feet! I've never heard of the brand before, but this is why I love beauty boxes, you discover new things! xx
ReplyDeleteIt smells so strong that it made my bed covers smell lovely and sweet! My feet were so super soft! x
DeleteThis sounds lovely x
ReplyDeleteIt really is :)
DeleteI got this too. The product is lovely but I don't like the smell :( Wish I would x x
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a love or hate smell!
DeleteI've not tired this - but might have to put it on the 'must try' list if it helps adult breakouts, my chin is a nightmare come that time of the month. I sometimes wonder if I will ever grow out of it I started with spots at around 10.

My skin was fine as a teenager but its now I am in my *cough* 30's that I get a spotty chin! Let me know how you get on if you manage to try it x
DeleteI really LOVE this and I also LOVE the smell. So much so that I kinda want to eat it instead of put it on my face. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! Makes me want to do it now - so easily led!
DeleteI got this in the She Said Beauty Box too! I'm having trouble with my skin at the moment, so I'll definitely give it a go and see what the results are!
