I hope your doing well today I will be reviewing a moisturizer for you. As you all know I'm in love in my embryolisse mattifying moisturizer. It's such an excellent product and performs very well with my combination oily skin. My only annoyance with the product is that it is expensive for a moisturizer.
While I was target and was looking around the skin care aisle I found the brand Botanics by Boots.
Boots is a European drugstore or as they call high street brand. I have tried a few make up products from the line. I decided to pick up Botanics Mattifying moisturizer with SPF 15

Product Experience:
The product comes in a pot with a tight fitting lid and an inner seal. You get 1.69 fl oz 50 ml $13.99.
The product itself is a white, very light a some what runny moisturizer. It blends and is easily absorbed by my skin. Leaves a very soft, smooth and matt feeling. I didn't feel any dry or tight spots after using this moisturizer.
The product has an SPF 15 uses avemozene, octomozene and octocylene as an active ingredients. These 3 working together create a broad spectrum sun protection. They are called chemical sunscreen they protect you by absorbing or scattering UVA and UVB rays. So don't freak out because of the word chemical another term for this type of sunscreen is organic sunscreen.

Cons
- The product contains the minimal amount of sunscreen.
- Packaging, I don't like having to dig in a pot of a moisturizer.
- It takes 30 minutes for the sunscreen to kick in.
- Some people are sensitive to chemical sunscreen.
- The product is only available at Target and online.
All in all in is a pretty good moisturizer, it moisturizes and has sunscreen and doesn't leave my skin with dry tight spots like some drugstore moisturizers. It is worth trying especially if you have a combination oily skin.
