This is the only foundation that I’ve ever really liked. Having oily skin any other foundation i’ve used either pulls a Houdini and disappear by the end of my work day or they lead to a catastrophic breakout. I use the lightest shade and it blends perfectly with my skin. It hasn’t one once triggered a pimp in the months that I’ve been using it and at the end of the day (usually 15 hours after applying) when I wash my face I find I am still wearing it. The SPF it has is great and I highly recommend this product. NOTE: Yes it is expensive, but you don’t even need a full pump to get full face coverage. On the days I don’t pay attention and I put a full pump on the back of my hand I’m always left with some wondering where I can apply it. The point being, one bottle/tube of this will last you God only knows how long, so per use it’s very economical.

I used this on my wedding day and it worked very well. I was looking for a eye base that wouldn’t add color to my lids and this was great. It held my make up in place throughout the day. No creasing, but there was a little pigment fading after 6 hours of running around and what not. The real issue was what it did to my brushes. If you go to out on shadow immediately after applying this your brushes will get all gummy. You need to let this setup for about 15-25 seconds before applying things on top of it. I tried it again a few days after my wedding, when I wouldn’t be sweating or anything and this time my make-up was in the same spot and had the same pigment saturation after 16 hours of wear. Very impressive. There is a definite sparkly in this, although it is far less intense then it looks in the bottle. I’ve seen may shimmer that are more noticeable than this. I will buy this again and I recommend it.

I have very oily skin (stupid genetics) and this product is an answer to my proverbial prayers. The moisturizer is light and thin (or runny as others others have deemed it) which is great for me as anything heavier leads to a breakout. I only use it at night because it doesn’t have an SPF, but I look forward to using it. Many nights it’s my motivation to get up and wash my face, because we all know you can’t put moisturizer on a dirty face. I love the smell and so does my husband, although I can understand it may be too strong for those with allergies or sensitive skin. My skin has gotten nice and soft and supple after using this product and I can not recommend this enough for others with oily, blemish prone skin.

I love this product, I use it almost everyday. The smell is very strong when you are using it, which is great because it really wakes me up. Like the headline says “It’s better than coffee!†The scrub can be a bit intense if you’re not used to Body Shop scrubs, I, however, am a scrub veteran. I love body scrubs and this is by far my favorite for scent and texture. The only problem is sometimes it can be a bit runny (probably my fault for leaving the lid off during showers) and it can slip through your fingers. I encourage you to try it.

This is not only for after sun burns (although it does feel great on those). I am very fair skinned and as a result I burn easily. This is my go to product after sun exposure; the scent is subtle and it doesn’t leave your skin all sticky like many aloe products. For me this is a huge bonus, and truly the defining factor that makes it a bathroom staple at my house. It doesn’t have any medicine in it, so don’t expect any help from it to numb the pain. Give it a try this summer! I give it a 9 because it goes thin, which is great, but takes some getting used to.

This is a decent citrus scent for adults; not too sweet or strong. I wouldn’t wear it to work, but it’s great for weekends. There are some subtle undertones to the fragrance that can at times smell weird on me. Still I would recommend you try it if given the chance.

The bottle is clear, you know what you’re getting. Still, I was hoping for a stronger exfoliant. As a body wash it’s very good, although there are somethings that may or may not be real strawberry seeds in it that don’t exfoliate as much as they do stuck to the shower. The spell is great if you like that true to life fruit smell. I got it last summer and it was fun, but I won’t buy it again. Just not what the type of product I typically use, although there’s nothing wrong with it.

I have oily skin and I use this bar everyday! I love it. It keeps my skin from getting oily and shiny throughout the day and I like the natural sea mud smell (which does go away quickly after rinsing), although I can see where some may not care for it. Also, if you have dry skin to start with this may not be for you. Also, I do only use this in the morning, while I use the Beta Wash in the evening. This system has worked wonders for you and I recommend it to anyone with oily or acne prone skin (assuming the breakout isn't from dryness.) Plus, washing your face the Laszlo way is a great idea. (Look it up, it's great with any product from any brand)

Though I'm in my 20's I like this stuff a lot. I figure that I have to take care of the area below my chin and above my bra. It smells nice, but the scent fades quickly so it won't mess with your other fragrances. The SPF is also very helpful, since using this product my frequently exposed decollete area has taken on a much healthier, non-sunburnt look (much more appealing.) I'll be using this product as long as I can afford it. The only reason it gets a 9 is because of the price and I'm not old enough to feel fully adequate in evaluating it's effectiveness.
