The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream - REVIEW


Hello there!
          
 I recently got the mattifiying day cream from the seaweed product line, I mainly got it because it claims to be good for oily skin and keeps the pores from clogging, and I've been recently having breakout(i always have an acne on my face at all times if not more)








PRICE - 995Rs

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :-

This oil-free, gel-like moisture cream is easily absorbed and perfect for combination skin.
  • Moisturises dry areas
  • Balances excess sebum
  • Gives a matte, shine-free complexion


TEXTURE - It has gel-like smooth, watery texture and it absorbs really fast into skin. It smells good




 Let me describe my skin type first. I have an extremely sensetive, prone to acne, a sad T zone, porous (I think that comes with acne) - in short one of the worst possible combination skin.
Most of the heavier creams' don't work on my face. In summer, my my face is oily and in winter it dries out no matter what. This cream although very light and I required reapplication (the only con), it worked, it has a very pleasant scent and it doesn't cause breakouts. I didn;t see a great great change but as a day cream, it worked perfect for me. I am not looking for a miracle treatment and this does as it claims.


After massaging it for a minute


At first I wish it was in a tube or some kind of dispenser, because I hate dipping my fingers into lotions I feel that it is kind of un-hygenic. Despite that, it has a pretty decent smell to it, kind of does have the seaweed tinge to it and the texture is great, light, and gel-like. hen I out it on its goes on smoothly and dries almost instantly. The best part is it actually leave my skin oil looking free! I wouldn't say it gives me a complete matte look either, but it is pretty close. I also had no trouble applying make-up over it. 



Would definitely repurchase irrespective of it being almost out of student budget!
