Boots Botanics All Bright Foam Wash and Day Cream review

Whilst perusing the skin care aisle in Boots, I came across the Boots Botanics range. The bright green and pink flower on the front of the packaging caught my attention and I was interested to see they had a line of products promising to brighten your complexion. My skin can often look congested, dry and dull so I was instantly captivated and for a combined price of £5.98 I didn't have much to lose. (Boots are currently doing an offer here and here, but they are very reasonable at their original prices) Both the Cleansing Foam Wash and Hydrating Day Cream contain hibiscus, the ingredient that lends it's brightening properties to the products and natural AHA's, which work to gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother and brighter. Both products are lightly scented which is pleasant but not overpowering. 

All Bright Cleansing Foam Wash 150ml:
I bagged this cleansing foam as my skin has been very dry recently and my usual facial wash has been leaving it too dehydrated. In all honesty, I'm happy with this product but don't have a great deal to say about it, as I don't feel that it does anything special. Although it does cleanse nicely, leaves my skin feeling fresh without any dryness and lathers up well, it's not something I'd rave about. It meets all my basic cleansing needs whilst being budget friendly. I'd recommend it to anyone who simply wants a product to clean their skin, with no thrills and no large price tag. Would I repurchase? Yes, when going on holiday I think I'll be popping this in my bag. 

All Bright Hydrating Day Cream SPF15 50ml:
As well as hibiscus and AHA's this product also contains Hyaluronic Acid to boost skin moisture levels and SPF15, to protect against the sun's damaging rays. For the past couple of weeks this has been my go to day moisturizer and I must say that I have noticed a difference. My skin has been looking more healthy, radiant and dewy recently, a definite result. Although this product is hydrating and sits well under my Bourjois CC Cream, I do find my skin is looking a little dry in the forehead and nose region by the end of the day. 

I'd say this product is medium thickness consistency wise, not too think nor too thin, somewhere in the middle. Because of this, you really do not need much of the product and I envisage it lasting me absolutely ages! I'm really glad I bought this product and will be repurchasing it when I'm running low, for those weeks where my skin needs a helping hand. 

Overall these products are effective and certainly excellent value for money. I'm hoping to add more from this line to my collection in the future and am thrilled that I won't have to break the bank to do so. 

Lastly, I must apologise for the fact I've been slacking on the blogging front lately, I've been super busy at work and college but hopefully next week I'll be able to post a bit more. Thanks for taking the time to read this and being patient!
