I've tried a ton of the moisturizers out there... Neutrogena, Almay, Oil of Olay, and Aveno to name a few brands. I have very sensitive / dry skin and have been looking for a good everyday moisturizer with a little SPF in it. With most every band listed above, the second I applied even their most sensitive moisturizer available, I would feel anything from a little redness and irritation to burning. NOT THE CASE WITH THIS MOISTURIZER! I hesitated to purchase because the bottle is on the smaller size for the money, but thought I'd give it a try. I am soooo happy I did, because I absolutely love this product. No burning, no irriation, goes on lightly, and I think it's really improved the condition of my skin. I've been so happy to just apply after my morning showers and leaving the house without any makeup on because my skin looks so good. Do not hesitate to try!!! It's so worth it.

This is an excellent moisturizer, but it is not well-suited for my oily skin. Smells great and lasts all day, but can exacerbate pimple-prone skin. Also, contains parabens and other icky stuff, so the "natural" product label is misleading.

Ok Moisturizer, BAD Smell

Pros

    Comments about Alba Botanica Sea Moss Moisturizer, SPF 15+, 2 fl oz:

    I'm really bothered by scented face lotions. I used this once and the smell drove me crazy all day. Face lotion doesn't need to be scented. This was a nice lotion but had to stop using it because of the smell. Too bad...

      Comments about Alba Botanica Sea Moss Moisturizer, SPF 15+, 2 fl oz:

      It's so hard to find a moisturizer with sunscreen that doesn't have oxybenzone. I searched high and low for this one. Unfortunately, this stuff has a very strong smell to it that I could not tolerate. I was hoping it would dissipate as the day wore on, but it did not. I'm not usually allergic to scented things but this just made my nose burn. It also made me break out, which is unusual. I stopped using it after 1 day.

        I've been using this for a year now - the Sea MOss extract does wonders for the skin. this is a great product for the price - you could pay a lot more for this kind of moisturizer.

            I bought it because it has SPF in it. But when I put it on, my face doesn't feel moisturized and I usually supplement with a thicker moisturizer. Kind of defeats the purpose so not really worth my money.

            Love how it works but unsure of toxicity

              Comments about Alba Botanica Sea Moss Moisturizer, SPF 15+, 2 fl oz:

              This product work really well for me (I have oily skin but dry patches too); it doens't make my skin any oiler but it does moisturize and I like that it has sunscreen.

              However, I'm a little concerned about the preservative in it. It looks like, from the Alba website, they may have replaced the paraben that is listed above in the ingredient list with phenoxyethanol, a different preservative that may (or may not) pose less risk.

                Wonderful protection of skin against sun rays and moisturizes as well. I just wish it came in larger sizes.

                  This is a great moisturizer - good for you and good for the planet! It absorbs quickly, doesn't smell sunscreen-y and doesn't leave my skin greasy. I use it every morning without fail. My only warning is that it is runny and you have to be very careful with the bottle or you'll end up with a whole handful of it. A pump of some kind might be a better option for this product.

                    This product works best of any natural moisturizers I've used. I've used some with a bad smell, but this one is very nice.
