After my earlier, rave reviews for other products, I catch sight of this stuff and my heart sinks. It's not that the product per se is bad; it's not. But the packaging is truly terrible. I have two almost full tubs of the above and I am unable to access it as the lid brought the whole top of the carton off - and it would not fit back on again, thereby denying me access to the goodies within. I have had trouble with their gold night products, too. I must have thrown away about £200 on these products. Very disappointing. And never again - no matter how good they are. The packaging is shoddy. Very much shoddier than one would expect for the price.And I am very unhappy at being so out of pocket.

I love this SPF, it is definitely not for oily skin. Its more moisturising yet leaving a velvet finish. if you are more towards normal to dry this is it.

Having loved the original Alpha-H SPF 50 moisturiser, and looking for something that would work as a primer for my oily combination skin, I was really excited to try this new product. Unfortunately, while the other cream leaves my skin feeling soft and velvety, this is much more heavy and greasy. After applying, it feels like it just sits on top of my skin and this sensation stays there all day. Despite the claims that it is a good matte primer it makes my skin incredibly oily and I have developed a large amount of blackheads, which I am still trying to clear up. Considering the extra money this is really disappointing, going to go back to the original Alpha H moisturiser which is also quite a bit cheaper!
