I've been annoyed with my combination skin for years, as it needs separate moisturisers, and sometimes the shiny skin comes through. So I was amazed to finally find a product that does both jobs! I don't know how, but Clarins Hydra Matte Day Lotion re-balances, i.e. hydrates dry areas, and de-shines oily areas (yes, really)! It makes skin smooth, soft, and smells divine. It also has a high content of botanics, which are great for the environmental-conscious girlie:-) If you have combination skin, and have been looking for the ultimate moisturiser, then this is the one!
