It does moisturise but it also left my skin feeling greasy, even the 'dry' parts of my face. It's £9 for 50ml so it's not exactly cheap but not ridiculously expensive either. TBS usually have sales and promotions though so I'd wait till then to actually buy one if you were thinking of trying it. It comes in a tub which I hate cause it just seems so unhygienic etc The cream itself is nothing special, no anti-ageing, no SPF, I personally found it led to break outs. If you've got great skin already then this product might be okay for you but if you expect more from a face cream then you should look elsewhere.

I used to love it !! Before I discovered I had combination skin -- this was my first true moisturiser and I fell in love with it. Its around £9 from the Body Shop the last time I brought it -- quite expensive for a moisturiser. Advantages: It did moisture the skin -- I know that sounds really stupid, but the amount of times I have had moisturiser that just sits on the surface of your skin, or leaves it dry after a day so you have to use more is uncountable. This one actually works !! Disadvantages: I found out that I had combination skin whilst using this product -- I realised that the reason my skin was so shiny and oily recently was because I was using the completely wrong moisturiser. It doesnt last that long, the tub runs out quite quickly, and its rather expensive for repeated buying -- but if it works for you then keep buying !! :D Recommendations: I wouldnt use this product if you have combination skin or oily because it is not oil free, it does put alot of excess oil into your skin which you dont need when you already have too much. I wouldnt use this product again -- only because of my skin type ... If I had normal or dry skin then I would continue use. Hope I helped. x Add review to favoritesIs this review helpful?YesNo Sharminii on 3/8/2012 3:25:00 AM More reviews by Sharminii Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Not Sure Hair: Black, Other, Other Eyes: Brown nothing special, tried this for 4 months straight, cause breakout and yes it did give my skin an extra glow but still who would want breakouts on their skin. had high hopes on this as the ad lure me to buy this saying that every 18 secs 1 cream would be sold.. hmmm anyways overall will never buy this again Add review to favoritesIs this review helpful?YesNo Tstar3 on 1/18/2012 12:03:00 AM More reviews by Tstar3 Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure Hair: Brunette, Other, Other Eyes: Other I love this product so much! Smells really nice and light, doesn't make me break out, it's really good because i live in canada and were having a really dry winter right now this stuff is a miracle. It's great under foundation because it stays all day. It really makes my skin glow, along with the hydrating toner! I would recommend this to all my friends :) Source: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=17623/Vitamin_E_Moisture_Cream/The_Body_Shop/Moisturizers
