Why we love it: “A lightweight, beautifully formulated moisturiser to help keep shine at bay.”

Review: “My oily t-zone is an ongoing battle that I fight every single day – the need to add moisture to my skin to stop it overcompensating and producing even more oil is something I struggle with. I find many moisturisers are too heavy for my skin and can feel greasy, but the Hydrating Gel from facialist Nataliya Robinson’s new skincare range Quantum Bontanika is the exact opposite to this. The lightweight gel consistency means it sinks in immediately and leaves the skin feeling plumped and hydrated. It dries down to a semi-matte finish, making it perfect for applying in the mornings to prep skin for makeup. The ingredients include organic Bulgarian rose oil, aloe vera and acmella oleracea extract which all contribute to help balance the skin and leave it feeling refreshed and smooth. I’ve found when I use this my makeup blends into my skin a lot easier and tends to stay matte for longer throughout the day, which is a massive plus for me. This has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine. If you have oily/combination skin you need to try this!”
