Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment is one of the skincare products from the Body Shop Seaweed range which I didn't initially purchase - I later decided that it may be a good idea to have it.

It comes in a clear plastic container with a pump action dispenser at the top - which makes it very easy to use; the pump always dispenses the exactly right amount of the serum and I can also see how much of the serum is left. The bottom part of the container lifts as I use the serum up. The container has a turquoise sticker which contains all the necessary information.

This treatment smells exactly like the rest of the range: nothing like seaweed. It has a lovely, subtle and mild scent which I would think is slightly feminine (but that may be just my impression) though I am sure it is suitable for both sexes. It disappears really quickly. The serum itself is see-through and the texture isn't very rich - it is quite runny (not quite like water though). Therefore I am glad it has a pump dispenser as otherwise I would apply way too much of it.

I usually applied the treatment after washing my face with the seaweed cleanser and using the toner. It is very easy to apply: you need to press the pump which will dispense the exactly right amount of the serum on your fingers and then spread it evenly across your face.

This serum is suitable for oily and combination skin (mine is the latter) and the producer promises that it will clarify the problem areas and hydrate dry zones. It is also oil free. Unfortunately, I found that the product didn't work very well for me. Within minutes of applying it, my skin (especially the dry zones as they say - mainly my cheeks) felt really tight and dry whilst my nose was shining even more than before the application! This persisted until the morning (even though it didn't feel as bad as it did in the evening) but I need to admit that my skin felt much softer and smoother.

As such, I don't feel the serum has really worked for me and I won't be buying it again. One container costs £10.00 and contains 30ml of the serum which does go a long way (it took me three months to finish mine and I used it every night hoping it eventually start working).

Thank you for reading my review.
