“Refine your skin with a targeted gel treatment designed to unblock pores and control excess shine.”
- Community Trade bladderwack seaweed and seaweed harvested from the French Coast work together to balance skin tone and clarify the complexion.
- Natural plant astringents including extracts of cinnamon, burnet and ginger help to visibly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and blemish-damaged skin.
Now I believe this is somewhat similar to but not as silky and silicone-y as Estee Lauder Idealist. If you’re wincing at the price of the latter this is a great mid-range dupe for it. It’s more evident as a skin finishing product or skin primer to me. The only cons for some of you beauty enthusiasts or purists out there is that it isn’t entirely alcohol-free and it’s scented but in a lovely way. It didn’t break me out and I’ve got sensitive skin. It does a good job of giving some added moisture but eliminating excess shine which in my book is great for makeup prep. I love how soothing it is on the skin and it absorbs quite quickly. It’s actually also got some mild pimple-fighting ingredients like cinnamon in the mix for those who have low-level breakouts. I tested it out because I had a team of whiteheads threatening to turn themselves into zits. I applied this Seaweed Pore Perfector one night after bathing but before sleeping and woke up the next day to see that they had subsided. Well at least I know for that time it worked.
The Body Shop’s Seaweed for oil control family is a great facial care range. Currently it’s the natural but not fully organic range I’m most interested in whenever I pass any Body Shop boutique. What natural skincare items have been impressing you lately? Let me know and share them in the comments below, I’m really curious.
