[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been trying to get into more of a skin care routine which I've tried and failed to in the past due to working long hours. But over the past week I've used this morning and night to see if it makes a difference. Initially I didn't notice much difference but persevered. Around day 5/6 I noticeably saw a difference in the fine lines I have around my eyes and forehead. It didn't leave my skin feeling oily or sticky but it did feel as though I had a layer of something on my face for the first hour so I wouldn't say the absorption is instant. Pleasant ocean-like smell such as it's wash counterpart. One thing that I find off-putting is the shape and design of the packaging. It tends to dispense far too much moisturiser than required therefore some goes to waste. I'm not sure about the sustainability of the plastics used either, it doesn't feel too eco!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magnesium defence 24H moisturiser. I’m an outdoors, all weather person and I need a good face moisturiser, and this is my favourite. It’s a moisturiser that protects my sensitive skin from pollution and weather, ideal. It has a nice fresh smell. Thick creamy texture and soaks into skin quickly. It leaves my face looking smooth and hydrated.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for a week whilst on holiday and it's absolutely great applying this at the end of sunbathing after showering. Although not an aftersun as such I found it cooling on my face absolutely drank the stuff up, leaving it feeling fresh and moisturised. It gave a Nice smell and goes well with the facewash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin always feels slightly tight an dry after shaving, so I purchased L'Oreal Magnesium Defence moisturiser. It feels really great when applying to the skin and I think the hyalluronic acid really keeps the moisture locked in. I really like this product and highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 90% of my work is done outside, so a moisturiser that protects my sensitive skin from pollution and the weather is an added bonus to the usual stressors such as shaving. Would be a bonus if there was sun protection in too, but very happy with the results so far
