Really good product, I tried it once but went back to the Aloe as I found this was a little too light for my needs. I definitely would recommend it though for people who need a light non oily day cream!

The Body Shop Mattifying Seaweed Day Cream is THE resolution for people who are allergic to most day creams.
The cream doesn't irritate your skin and makes you skin feel really soft and flexible.

The cream is really easy to apply, you simply can't put on too much because your skin won't become sticky.

Because I have combination oily skin, I always gravitate towards products that is labelled as 'mattifying'. I had a 50% off coupon to use on any Body Shop product and I decided to pick up this one. It is on the pricier end but there are always sales happening and coupons and coupon codes available on-line to take advantage of.

PROS
(1) TEXTURE: This day cream has a silky gel-like texture that reminds me of the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing gel which I really love. Because it's formulation is on the thinner side, when applied to the face it's like splashing your skin with water - it's so refreshing. This is ideal as a daytime moisturizer because it's very light and perfect to use under make-up.

(2) HYDRATION: This cream delivers on that promise. It's hydrating and moisturizing without it feeling greasy. This is great for the summer months when you need to moisturize but don't want additional oil on your face.

(3) OIL CONTROL: This is why I purchased this day cream in the first place - for it's mattifying effect. It dries matte but it doesn't make your skin feel dry. It really helps with oil control. With this, I found my makeup lasted longer and I did not need to use blotting paper as much. My face did eventually get shiny but that was at the end of the day, hours after applying it.

CONS
(1)PACKAGING: As with most Body Shop items, this came in a tub. I would much rather prefer if it came in a bottle with a pump. I really don't enjoy dipping my finger in there every time due to sanitary reasons. I use a Q-tip to get the product out but it would be so much easier if it had a pump. I do like that there is a plastic cover to prevent spills.

(2) NO SPF. For a day time moisturizer, I would expect it to have some SPF but unfortunately this one doesn't. I still need to apply sunscreen.

(3) THE SMELL. I personally like the smell - it's light and a little citrusy but for those who are sensitive to fragrance, this might not be an ideal moisturizer.

VERDICT: A Buy! Would repurchase again.

This is my favorite summer-time, facial moisturizer. It's light enough to keep my oily t-zone and chin at bay but is rich enough to soften my drier skin.

PROS: scent and texture
CONS: price
QUICK TIPS: only use a little bit so It lasts longer. You don't need to put a lot on anyway.
Not only does this smell amazing it really does "matte" your skin. It's light and creamy and you only need to use a small amount. It keeps you from looking to shiny.

I absolutely love this stuff! I have oily skin and doesn't make my skin oily like most moisturizures I have used. A little goes a long way. It has a cool feeling when applied, so it makes it feel like it's awakening your face. Great for a summer day. It's not heavy or thick, very light weight.

I will never stop using this cream. I have horribly oily skin and usually skip any moisturizers all together, but since I'm in my early 30's I want to keep ahead of wrinkles and dry skin. I bought this on a whim since it says mattifying, and I was not disappointed! I absolutely love this and will never be without.

I usually don't like creams on my face because they are too thick but I thought this one was just right. My skin felt very light and refreshed after I used it. I have a somewhat oily T-zone and normal cheeks and I think the "mattifying" part of the cream does its job.

In the morning I try to avoid moisturizers that are too, well, moisturizing. It leaves my face feeling too heavy, and I find that I get shiny much faster during the day. This product definitely does the trick for my combination skin. The areas that need moisture get it, and the oily areas are made smooth and poreless. The best part is that it absorbs quickly, so no waiting around for your face to dry before you can apply your makeup!

Overall, the product smells great, feels amazing on your skin, keeps your face matte all day, and is both organic and Fair Trade. I won't be taking this out of my beauty routine anytime soon.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I can't rave enough about this. I heard about this on a Youtube beauty guru video and honestly, its the best product i have purchased in quite a while. The smell is quite pleasant, a little bit fruity/floral a little bit herbal. Very natural and clean. A little goes a long way with this. It has a gel like texture that compliments my oily/combo skin and it has a silky texture that makes me feel like a million bucks. This has become a staple in my skin care routine. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
