What does it do for you?

Bring some much-needed balance back to your skin with our new and improved Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream.  

 The formula you love is back, better, and ready to give oily and combination skin some TLC. Our lightweight gel-cream isn’t just fast-absorbing (no sticky residue here) but works hard to keep shine at bay and restore vital hydration to skin for 48 hours.

Now enriched with 96% natural-origin ingredients, our gel cream is powered by two new actives: royal sugar kelp from Brittany, France and a plant-derived prebiotic. Our sustainably sourced* royal sugar kelp helps to balance oiliness and dryness by regulating sebum levels, while our prebiotic manages the good and bad bacteria on the skin’s surface. The result? A happy, healthy and hydrated complexion. But it’s not all changed around here, we’re sticking with the signature fragrance you know and love.

Our packaging has had an update too. Your favourite moisturiser now comes in a 100% recycled glass jar that’s topped with an aluminium lid – perfect for reusing or recycling**, what’s not to love?

* We’ve always been fans of seaweed and its skin-loving benefits. But it’s not just good for your fabulous face.

**Where local facilities allow.

Oily skin. . . Don't hesitate!

"Nothing matches this. Still have oily skin in adulthood, but you would never know. I use it as both my day & night cream. Tried SO many others. Nothing else works, let alone compares. Don't need loads. Smells great. Thin layer after a light scrub and I'm good to go. Highly recommend!"

— ANNA L. (5/5)

They have robbed me

"I am so angry! This item and others, we missing from my order. I was promised the missing items would be sent to me. Nothing. I was then requested a requested refund. Nothing. The Body Shop do not care about their customer service. Avoid being robbed and purchase ellse where. I am not stopping until I have my money back!"

— Kristy B. (1/5)
