I was excited to try a moisturiser from Lush and after doing some research, decided on this one. Lush's website says "Paradise Regained is a moisturiser with sunscreens to stop the UVA and UVB damaging your skin. It has green tea for its antioxidant properties (defence from free radicals) and its natural fruit acids come from pineapples and grapes."
The container itself says "Natural no-tox, reviving moisturiser for daytime with AHA's from fresh fruits to brighten and enliven the skin with sun protection. SPF15."
I'm all for brightening and enlivening the skin, love the idea of antioxidants and SPF? Perfect!
I used it every day in the morning but struggled with the scent of it. When I tried it in the shop, the smell wasn't too bad, but all over my face every day, I found the scent too strong. Even now, I can't pinpoint what it is about the smell that I don't like. I have it on my hand now and it's giving me a headache :) It felt nice and light on my skin, but my T zone got oily pretty quickly. Usually it takes a few hours for that to happen with other moisturisers.
So I'm £25.50 down but what can you do? I stored it along with the other moisturiser I got that same day on my dresser, out of sunlight, nowhere near the radiator, so who knows what made it happen. I won't be repurchasing this :)
Need it or Leave it? Leave it
Now I need to wash this gick off my hand!!!
