Slowly slowly I'm getting to reviewing each product in this kit. Today I'm looking at the moisturiser with sunscreen, which was one of the last products in the kit that I opened because I had a day cream on the go that I wanted to finish before getting to this one.
After this I'll review the facial oil, and then I'll do a round-up post of the kit as a whole - just in case anyone's interested in buying the set.
This little moisturiser is an ok product, but it's not my favourite and it's a little greasy (that'd be the sunscreen), so what I started doing with it after the first few goes was using it as a moisturiser to pat over makeup during the day, just to keep up my sun protection.
I do need to powder my face after doing this (unless it's super dry) due to the grease factor, but I don't mind that and it's a great size to carry around in my handbag for top-ups on the go during summer.

Verdict
This is fine as a sunscreen, but I don't love it as a face cream.
I just put some on and I must have accidentally got some in my eye because my eye is stinging a bit and watering a lot. So be careful of doing that!
It's a white cream that's quite light and smells like sunscreen. It's not too thick and it spreads easily and absorbs well.
I think it's fine as a sunscreen, but I wouldn't use it as my daily moisturiser - the reason being that it's quite greasy and it doesn't feel like it's hydrating my face much. It also doesn't have a brightening or plumping effect, and I look for both those things in my day cream.
On the product claims: yes it protects the skin (I haven't burned yet!) and it doesn't clog pores, but I don't feel that it's particularly nourishing and I don't feel that it provides a good makeup base because it's so greasy.
It's fine, but it's my least favourite item in this set and it's not one I would buy.
