We all want products that work, who doesn’t? When our friends over at Benefit sent over a bottle of their Moisture Prep Toning Lotion, claiming it boosts the effectiveness of our daily moisturizer; we had to see it for ourselves. Applying the light liquid to our face and neck post-wash, pre-moisturize, we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the lotion absorbed, leaving our skin smooth with a fresh, clean scent. Even better, the non-drying formula allowed us to use a smaller amount of moisturizer, which glided right on. No wait for excess moisturizer to dry before applying our makeup and it contains botanical extracts known to purify and reduce lines. This middle child is certainly one that won’t be forgotten.
