I use this every morning after toning my dry and sensitive skin. It's pretty lightweight, non greasy, but definitely moisturizing enough. It doesn't break me out, gives me a nice glow and has sun protection! In the two years that I've been using it, it never gave me any problems. Other moisturizers I've tried felt too greasy, stung my skin or weren't moisturizing enough. A solid pick for me.

I must admit i don't like the body shop as a brand and i won't buy from them again. but the product is splendid! I have combination skin and i never felt dry with this one. so sad i don't know what to do now. didn't realize it was so good until i stoped using it if you don't bother with the brand and want a good moisturizer, take this!
