Great product, nice and light on the skin. Feels refreshing. After using it for a week I could really see the difference.
gave to my daughter to try as she has sensitive skin and she was happy with the results.
Thanks for letting me test drive QV face moisturising day cream. I am quite happy with the cream, it soaks right in to my skin and i must say my face has been looking really clear, even and just generally healthy since i have been using the cream. The only thing i found is that i do use a fair bit more than my usual face cream but i think that is because it does soak in to the skin so well.
rather impressed with results
I have extremely sensitive skin and am often reluctant to change my cleansing routine, however with the QV 30+ moisturizer I found no adverse affects. My skin did not break out in pimples or get extremely red, instead this moisturizer kept me protected from the sun while keeping my skin feeling soft. The application was not think or oily, as most 30+ creams are, it glided smoothly on my skin and was quickly absorbed, without leaving a sticking sunscreen feeling on my face. I was able to wear make-up after applying the face cream as it gave my face an even base for foundation application.
I have no hesitation in continuing the use of this moisturizer as part of my daily routine and recommend its usage to people who have sensitive skin and want to find a easy way of protecting their face from harmful UV rays.
My skin breaks out easily, so when this product appeared to have a ’sunscreen-like’ consistency, I was worried. But although it felt a little like suncreen going on, it absorbed quickly and did not leave a greasy feel on my skin. I would recommend this to a friend.
Fantastic product for my very sensitive skin. I really like that it has SPF 30 in it too. Have thrown away my old moisturiser and will now be using QV!
Good moisturiser, very impressed. Actually diminished the fine lines around my eyes from holiday stress and no sunburnt skin after a day at the beach. I don’t normally use moisturisers, but this one is definitely part of my regular routine now.
Lovely light moisturiser! Felt lovely on my face and not greasy.
I have used this product for over a week and it is great. I love that it contains sunscreen and is for sensitive skin. You only need a very small amount and it goes a long way. My skin is so soft. I would definately buy it again.
Was a really nice light moisturiser to use…I would also like to see it come as a tinted product for makeup so I dont need to apply both products separately…Thanks QV for sending me my trial sample!!
When i recieved this product in the mail i was happy to see that it was a face cream
for sensitive skin with the SPF 30+. I have never had much luck with finding one cream that
i could use long term except for sorbolene. This product is very light with not much scent and
a little goes a long way. After using for about 2 weeks it has worked great and will definaltely be using this in the future. Great product. luv it
Thanks
I tried this product it left me with lovely soft skin. I had some left on hand and I rubbed it on a mole type thing had for years after 2 days it fell off I was pleased as it was annoying so I in all found this product quite exciting.
As I have oily skin I wasn’t sure how this moisturiser would work for me. It took a little longer to massage into my skin but it was light on my face, leaving my skin feeling soft & supple (which was great seeing I am 55). Even by the end of the day my face was still feeling fresh and not oily!!
Loved the scent & the protection from the sun!! Will definitely buy it when I finish this tube!!
Thanks QV for being able to try this product!!
I found this to be a great overall day moisturiser for the Queensland sun and will be repurchasing in the summer months. I did find the texture to be a little like sunscreen and this would probably be because of it’s high SPF factor of 30 (most daily moisturisers have SPF15+). It was because it did remind me of sunscreen that I think I will revert to my normal daily moisturiser during winter months or if I’m not going to be outside for long. Th packaging was great, nice and simple, however I would prefer a snap on lid or even a pump, as I found the screw on lid annoying.
I had no problems with it under make up and also used it on my 2yr old daughter who suffers from eczema. She had no problems with it either, which was great.
Overall I would highly recommend if you live in a sunny climate!
This is the first SPF moisturizer that I have been able to use longer than a few days. I normally find SPF to be very sticky and it has a sunscreen smell which is not my favourite scent! Been using for over a month now and very impressed. Has a really light feel, not greasy at all and no scent. I have been on holidays for 3 weeks and spending a lot of time outside in the heat – no sunburn at all….wish i could say the same for my poor back!! THANKS QV
Love it!!!!!
QV Face Moisturising Day Cream with SPF 30+ is a fantastic product. It instantly sooths dry and tight skin after cleansing. It is totally absorbed, yet protects from even the harshest sun. It the perfect skin care product for my sensitive skin. Loved it! Thank you so much for introduving me to this range of skin care.
I have been testing this product for over two weeks. I have extremely dry skin having had eczema for over 40 years. My skin usually ‘loves’ a new product for about a week and then I find that I have the need to return to my trusted moisturiser. When I first applied the product I was worried this wasn’t going to be moisturising enough and my face felt tight afterwards. However, after two days I noticed a great improvement in the plumpness of my skin. I love the added SPF benefit and so have worn it every day since. After 3 weeks I love the cream – its the thinnest most easily applied product I have tried in years – thank you
I have been using this product for the past month or so. I am usually sceptical of new face creams, but this one is a winner, with no greasy residue, and it lasts all day. My combination T-Zone face was not left oily or dry. It is a great way to get a sunscreen coverage in summer that protects every day without that greasy layer.
I found this to be a lovey moisturiser, so soft, non greasy and easy to apply and has no overpowering smell either. My normal makeup goes over it no problems and i also used it on my dry arms and it worked a treat. Highly recommend this product.
Fantastic!!! I loved it. The cream was light and had no scent. My skin normally can be quite dry in places and oily in others. I have been using it for about a month now and will continue too. I feel that my skin has evened out quite a bit. I spent time out in the sun and forgetting my sunscreen the only part of me not red was my face. Thank you QV for another great product.
I have very dry skin, so was very interested in trying this product. I really like it, it doesn’t leave a greasy/oily residue on your face before applying makeup.
Its a winner with me.
Never tried QV products before but I really like it because it’s so light, absorbs quickly and great for people with sensitive skin.
Would be even better if there is a tinted product with a higher SPF.
Great product, non greasy or scented great sun protection too! Would recommend to everyone to try
After long time I got to try some QV product. It was a QV Face Moisturising Day Cream with SPF 30+ . Great combination 2 in 1, moisturizes & protects your skin from harmful sun. Light, non-greasy, but at the same time a bit thick, pleasant smell, didn’t have any allergic reaction, skin felt smooth & soft, definitely thumbs up!
This QV Face Moisturising Day Cream with SPF 30+ comes in a 75g tube with pleasent colours of blue, pale blue and silver on a white background. It has a screw on lid which is great as I find that often the products with the flip top lids end up with the lids breaking and that extreemly annoying. I like the fact that this product stands on the lid so to speak so that as you are getting to the end of the product you will be able to get the last of the product easily.
My inital thoughts upon first use were that i wasnt going to like this product very much but thankfully I was wrong. I felt that the texture was a little like sunscreen and the slight scent made me think of sunscreen also. I guess i was wanting a lovely girly scent to fill my nostrils each time i applied it but then of course this product is designed for sensitive skin and if we were suddenly pumping in a product to make it smell pretty then it might not be that great for the skin. Especially sensitive skin…right? It wasnt long and i got over the longing for a pretty scent and i found that the cream applied easily and was not like applying a greasy sunscreen at all. It soaked into my skin well and was lovely for my sensitive skin which will react very quickly to let me know that a product is no good. The cream spreads well and a little goes a long way so i felt that it was very economical.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now and im very pleased.
If you have sensitive skin and want a day moisturiser that has SPF 30+ with UVA and UVB protection thats also Fragrance and colour free then I very much suggest that you give this product a try.
I will certainly purchase another tube of this wonderful cream.
Received the sample just before Xmas – have been using everyday since – great product – effective, not greasy and good in a QLD summer.
This is a great product to use! Fits my skin perfectly!
I am so thrilled with the results of the cleanser and I would love to try this moisturiser.. Finally found an affordable range that works and does what they say it will. Hooray!
Best day cream I have tried! No nasty sunscreen smell, sits well under make-up & is super moisturising.
The only SPF face moisturiser at a reasonable price and bonus it’s for sensitive skin! Perfect… Saves me putting the old sunscreen on in the morning well in summer anyway. So this with the gentle face cleanser makers for happy skin!!
I have tested QV Bar and would like to test other products
what do I do

Comparing all the various moisturising creams with sunscreen in the market, I think this product is absolutely a WINNER. It is light, non-greasy, easy to apply, comfortable, SPF 30+ and yet moisturing for my dry skin. The price is reasonable too.
I have been using this product after cleansing my face and then i would apply my foundation over it. I would definitely recommend to others and keep buying this product.
It is very light and easy to apply.
Doeas not slide down my face and into my eyes by the end of the day as other products I have used do.
Will recommed to my friends & family
Readily absorbant, smooth and non greasy. My skin no longer feels dry. Wonderful.
I love this cream. Feels so soft and smooth on my skin! I have really dry skin and it is loving this cream! Definitely recommend
This is awesome! My skin has never felt so loved! Will definately be buying this from now on after my trial bottles are done!
I have sensitive skin, prone to eczema and this moisturiser is a very gentle, light everyday cream which truly hydrates the skin without leaving that horrible shiny film. I love the convenience of the built-in suscreen and yet it doesn’t have any overly “sunscreeny” smell you often associate with most dual use products. Overall, a convenient cream doing everything it says it should.
I loved the feel of how light the cream is. i was waiting for my pores to clog up from changing creams but they didnt. Was so good and loved the sun cream factor so i didnt have to worry about doing the kids and mysel when we go for a walk !
Upon being sent the QV Face Moisturising Day Cream, I had finished my first tube!
It was a delight to be restocked with this product. It is a lightweight white cream with a thin consistency, with SPF 30+. It is not greasy and absorbs very quickly into the skin.
Application is very quick, I just pat it into my skin and within a few seconds my skin is dry to touch and very supple! The product lasts an extremely long time, and is well worth the money you pay for it. With everyday use, I only just finished my first tube after a couple of months. It is also unscented and thus, suitable for sensitive skin.
I found the product to be a very suitable base prior to makeup application, which is also a plus!
Will continue to use, highly recommended. It is worth a shot for the inexpensive price!
A fantastic moisturiser. It is nice and thick so that you know you skin is going to be nourished, but not thick enough that it feels heavy and greasy on your skin.
I’ve used the moisturised for the last week and my face feels really soft and the SPF works fantastically.
Starting using my trial sample straight away and love it. Very light and not greasy which is great. I also have sensitive skin and this was fine. Didn’t upset my skin at all. Will definitely keep using.
i have loved using this product since it arrived. i was even kind enough to share it with a friend who has sensitive skin and she loved it being able to try it with out having to go and buy the product too. my only incase she had a reaction to it . my problem is my skin needs a product that is more like a gel cream as this cream was still a bit to heavy for my skin and i kept breaking out in pimples but over all i loved this and how i didn’t have to apply my sunscreen over the top. like other have mentioned i think it would be great to see it in a tinted version
I really liked it. I liked the fact that it has 30+ sunscreen in it, but doesn’t feel greasy like some of the moisturiser with sunscreens fel. Very impressed
I received the QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF30+. When I first tried the Day Cream it was a little heavy because of the suncream but nowhere as heavy as the usual suncreams. After using it for about 2 weeks I really like it. It’s light and has no perfume which is great. My face is soft and the SPF30+ protects my face. Thank you!
This product was lovely. It absorbed into my skin quickly without being greasy and love that I had sun protection as well. I’ll be adding this to my favourites list for sure.
I found, after a couple of week’s use, that my regular ruddy tone had lessened. I loved the lightness of it…it absorbed beautifully into the skin leaving it soft and not tacky, Being a teacher, I’m in the sun often during the day and I’ve been very impressed with the result. The SPF 30+ has proven to be very effective and I have not been burnt once whilst using QV Face Moisturising Day Cream. This does leave the others for dead…..I’m using QV from now on!
I’ve tried it under makeup during the week, but find even though the cream is light, my skin is too greasy towards the later part of the day. So instead I apply it at night time and weekends when I don’t wear makeup.
I am so glad the cream is low fragrance and doesn’t smell like sunscreen. It’s light and leaves only a slight residue.
Not too heavy, not to light, nice texture, good to use every day under make up
After using this product for 10 days, my skin is softer and seems smoother. No reaction, easy to apply and doesn’t seem greasy. I think this is a winner and l would like to see a tint applied if possible. This is the first SPF15+ l have ever used, so its hard for me to compare. Overall l am pleased with the result and will keep using it.
Thank you so much QV for offering a test run of this moisturiser.
I love the feel (I actually feel like I am applying moisture to my skin).
No wastage and a little goes a long way. I love the 30+ factor with Summer about to hit us and already having a facial skin cancer removed, I definately dont want anymore.
I loved this moisturiser. I have sensitive skin and found it gentle while still giving my skin the moisture it needed. I also loved that it protects my skin from the sun while doing the same job as a regular moisturiser. It felt lovely and light on my skin while leaving me with soft healthy looking skin. Thank you QV for letting me trial this product, I will definately continue to buy and use this product!!!
I have been trialling the QV moisturizing day cream for two weeks now. It really is a great product. It is easily absorbed and does not make your face look shiny like some other products do that contain sunscreen. My face feels soft and moisturized for the day and my t-zone has not been as oily. I will continue to use this product. Thanks for the opportunity.
Great moisturiser and protector from the sun. Nice and light – not greasy and has kept my skin free of unwanted pimples/spots. Just spent two weeks in Bali and not one blemish or sunburn on the face – Great. works for me. Will buy this product.
I have been using the QV moisturising day cream for about 10 days now every day and have found it to be very light yet very moisturising for my skin. I am 20 weeks pregnant and found during my two previous pregnancies almost all creams would irritate my skin.
This QV cream is so light, feels so fresh and is perfect under make up. I have even been using the cream every day on my 2 and 3 year old children and their skin loves it too. I will definitely be purchasing this product at the completion of this tube.
Thanks for including us in your trial 5 ***** product.
Light day-time moisturiser, absorbs easily into skin. Would like a little more ‘body’ in the cream to save putting cream foundation on as well. A tinted version would be terrific, especially for summer.
Enjoy having a product that I can use for my super sensitive skin! Sharing with daughter who has perfect glowing skin and wants to keep it that way!
What a great moisuriser, so soft and easy to apply, no overpowering smell either and makeup goes over it . I use QV products for my 7yr daughter as she has reacts to other products and sun creams. I found this great on her also. Fantastic cream with an spf that works! Highly recommend this product! Highly recommend QV products to everyone, I have used for many many years and with 6 children it has been the most cost effective product. Keep up the great work and products.
Really nice light cream, absorbed into my face – will be buying this cream in the future
Love the high SPF rating as I had a melanoma off my arm last summer, I will only wear a moisturiser with a sun screen,
As I have skin that is prone to breakouts I was cautious at first but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did not make my skin feel oily and it worked well as day cream under my regular foundation without causing a reaction.
I usually prefer products with no scent as I find them too overpowering but QV has a subtle pleasant aroma that I enjoyed using.
I would recommend this product as a great everyday moisturiser to anyone with skin sensitivities.
I was thrilled to receive QV Face Moisurising Day cream SPF30+ to test. It is odourless, which is terrific, as often the odour of cosmetics can be overwhelming. It is in a tube. Again a plus, as some moisturisers are in a jar and I always seem to get more under my fingernails than on my face. The 30+ SPV rating also very good. However I did find that it is very thick and leaves my skin feeling very greasy. Almost like Zinc Cream. This quality did not appeal to me at all. Overall I think it was probably a 5/10, if rated on a numeric scale. Thank you for the opportunity.
I loved it. I have been using QV for years, and I am a particular fan of the wash. This product was great, it didn’t feel greasy but offered great sun protection. It was excellent to keep in my handbag.
It’s been lovely to try as a day moisturiser and it’s really done it’s job with the sunscreen part. But it has kind of flared up my rosacea a bit. But otherwise it’s been brilliant.
I was a bit hesitant about trying this product, as I have a combination-oily skin type. Usually products for dry/sensitive skin are dripping with moisture, and result in me having a very shiny face after a couple of hours.
However, I am now a QV convert! This was so light, and absorbed into the skin quickly and without any form of greasiness. It is a great makeup base, and there is definitely no 3pm shine!
There is no strong sunscreen smell, and if I didn’t know I would never have guessed I had 30+ spf coverage on.
This is definitely a product I will continue to use daily for a very long time!
i’ve been using it for a month and it works really well on my forehead, chin and nose…but it gave me pimples everywhere on my cheeks…i’m not sure if i was a little bit allergic to it.
it works great if i don’t use it there – my skin is smooth – and not flaky anymore
A wonderful moisturiser! QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF30+ has recently accompanied me around the world- England, Ireland, Fiji and the Whitsundays! It was perfect as my skin was having a hard time – drying out from the air conditioning, playing up from stress, exhaustion and different climates! It protected me not only from the sun but also from dry skin too! Light feel, scentless and beautiful! Thank you so much!
Lovely and light for all family to use, applied each morning to our face. consistency easy, creamy and light to apply. Didnt feel heavy on application and scent was nice too.
Thx for letting me trail this product
Nice and light without the greasy residue after effect- Definately Recommended
Felt it was really nice and light when applied. Scent fine. Absorbed easily and non greasy.
I did have a slight reaction (itchy) so will leave it a couple of weeks and trial it again.
HI Carla,
If you have had a reaction to the product we don’t recommend you continue to use it. Consult your medical professional to see what ingredient you are allergic to and let us know. LoveQV
With the warmer weather coming, I love the idea of a lighter moisturiser and the added bonus of a 30+SPF. The texture was light but I think the sunscreen component was a little harder to work into the skin. The scent was quite pleasant unlike other products where the smell of sunscreen can be quite overwhelming. Overall, I would recommend this product to friends.
I love this!! So light and refreshing!
Would love to see a tinted moisturiser? I don’t wear make-up but do apply tinted moisturiser daily instead…
After using QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF 15+ for a week I am sold. It is easy to apply and does not leave a greasy sheen look and with comments from my husband stating I no longer have a nose that looks like crocodile skin (being so dry) who wouldn’t be happy. This is a product can tick all the boxes for performance and value for money. I am highly impressed.
I have never been able to use SPF moisturiser – too sticky & I hate the smell. Very impressed with this product so for – a weekend at the beach & no sunburnt face. Really happy – will be getting the cleaner as well.
This is the 1st product I have been able to use with my sensitive eyes. It is wonderful on. I wish I came across it earlier. Expensive products are such a waste of $$. I have used other products saying they are for sensitive skin and boy oh boy do I pay. Thank you QV
I’ve been using the QV face moisturising day cream with SPF 30+ for over a week now. The first thing you’ll notice is that it does not have a scent, so perfect for sensitive skin. The cream was the right consistency and was quickly absorbed into my skin. My face felt soft and smooth.
I spent a weekend in the sun and am extremely impressed with the SPF 30+ component. I did not have one little bit of redness on my face.
Very impressed with this product. In fact, I am going to replace it with what I’ve been using.
Highly recommend, especially with summer approaching!
Having Super sensitive skin and never having used any QV Products before, when your trial package of QV Face Moisturising Day Cream arrived I couldn’t wait to give it a go. I have used this sole moisturiser for 7 days, and my skin feels and looks fantastic. It has not been drying to my skin at all, like a lot of other so called moisturising products are. My skin is super soft, plumped up and looking great! I will definitely be trying other products in your range. I give this product 5 stars, excellent.
Lovely light moisturiser. I have sensitive skin so this is a great one for me.
