Advantages: Has really improved my skin

Disadvantages: Price may be an issue for some

I have real problem skin - an mix of dry and oily with the occasional outbreak of spots. I've tried a few things over the years, and have found things for spotty skin too drying, and for dry skin too oily. It's been a real pain, but when I ran out of moisturiser my mam told me to try a bit of this, which she has been buying for years. First time I tried it I absolutley loved it.

This cream has been a Body Shop staple for years, and it's easy to see why. When I bought it the shop assistant said it was one of their most popular products. It comes in 50ml pots which are pink with a black lid and labelled in the theme of the Body Shop's vitamin e range. A pot will set you back around £8, although recently it was on promotion at £5 a pot, so I stocked up!

When you open the pot the cream is a light pink colour, and has a very perfumed smell. It kind of smells like old ladies, but in a nice way. Like a really feminine and flowery smell. The cream is a nice consistency. I have found I need very little of this cream to keep my skin moisturised, and when you apply it it sinks in very easily, meaning you can put your make-up on straight away. I've found it makes a great base for my foundation.

It really has helped to keep my skin balanced since I started using it. My dry patches are gone, and spots I get far fewer spots. The only slight snag with this product is the price - it is on the expensive side for an everyday cream but in my opinion is seriously worth the investment. A pot lasts me around 2-3 months, which I consider to be good value.

As with all Body Shop products this one is not tested on animals etc. Also, as an aside my sister suffers from eczema and has very sensitive skin. Often highly perfumed products upset her skin, but in spite of the lovely smell of this one it doesn't affect her.

I'd recommend this cream to anyone!

Summary: An excellent everyday cream
