Good moisturizing but it stings your face a lot in areas that are not too oily. Just use in your oily spots and you're good to go.

Argh. Well firstly I usually love The Body Shop, but this product is NOT one of my favourites. It has a very unpleasant, fish-like smell after application. It also feels a bit dry around my mouth area...Read more

Initially was in love with this since it does what it promises to deliver, mattify and oil control for 8h of wear. I don't even need to put foundation on top of this. But I need to take 3 days break o...Read more

This is an ok moisturizer. I bought it when I first got into skincare and I liked it because my acne-prone skin can handle it. It's a very basic moisturizer and doesn't really do much other than add a...Read more

Moisturises OK but nowhere near as much as BS's Aloe day cream, which seems to work much better for my rosacea, which dries out my skin.

This product is supposedly aimed at my skin type - combination/oily - but I suspect it's not aimed at those of us who have that skin type coupled with sensitivity. As a result my combination/oily sen...Read more
