After learning that my current fave, Clinique moisture surge is not enough as a moisturizer per se (it's more of a sleeping pack--- the ones you put on top of a moisturizer to make it work optimally), i'm hunting for a replacement to my Clinique moisturizing gel. Perhaps, Soap and Glory might help.(photos and product info below collected from boots.com and soapandglory.com)
| High-rating Soap and Glory moisturizers |
Soap and Glory is a UK-based company that has become internationally popular for their fragrant, effective and relatively cheap skincare and makeup products. Not to mention the very girly packaging plus a pretty website with a vintage kick.
I'm currently eyeing four moisturizers. I need to zero-in on just ONE. Very, very difficult.1. Soap & Glory Glow Job | | Photo Source |

Puns can be very interesting, eh? I love the product names, haha. I'd really want to give in to Soap & Glory's Catch a Wrinkle in Time since it has the best reviews. However, I plan to use a dimethicone-free moisturizer. And only Clear Here among the four is dimethicone-free.
