 Seaweed Night Cream with Collagen

I love seaweed products for my oily skin. Since beginning to use this night cream I've noticed a huge difference in how oily my skin is throughout the day. This is great and is way more affordable than other products like this on the market.

Buying my third jar; after applying it at night in a couple of mins it soaks into my face without leaving me oily. My face looks smooth in the morning. A little bit goes a long way so don't put a lot

so. I got this in a sample pack. I hadn't tried it until recently. I accidentally over exfoliated my face one day causing some major reddening and irritation on my skin. I tried my benefit moisturizer to help calm it down, no go.made my skin supple and plump everywhere but no stars on soothing my irritated rashed skin. tried some clinique I had but irritated my spot further. . tried my este Lauder..great for filling the stress lines on my forehead but no go on healing my spot. I'm now half way through day 2 of this horrible experience, the spot is cracking and trying to scar and by the grace if God, I find my little tiny mini jar of Mario seaweed. I put it on my nightmare spot and it immediately soothed the skin like aloe vera on a burn . I went to bed, and put it on again first this in the morning and 3 more times throughout that day by that night, the cracking had smoothed out, the redness was clearing up back to the pink young skin it should be, the irritation was totally gone and to top it off, it actually helped clear up a lot of my hormonal acne. if I had to compare this product to anything it would be to the total benefit moisturizer.the only things that make it different are 1. the smell. its definitely grassy. so if you are allergic to grasses you may want to step back on this one. and 2. its ability to heal broken and cracked skin. benefit does not have this ability and I've been using it for 2 years. I will continue to buy benefit because of its plumping and smoothing. but I will also now invest in the full size Mario seaweed because if its healing and soothing properties! thanks Ulta for giving me yet another awesome sample.

I was finally on the road to great skin but some of my products were drying out my skin. I decided to throw this into my routine. I used it for two days in a row and it clogged my pores and made me break out like crazy. My pimples were very inflammed which never happens and it caused red patches. It also made my face feel really greasy. Won't use it again.

I really do not like it, I use it only at bed time and in the morning my face is not moisturized like other products ive used.
