This is good, guilt-free stuff. Guilt-free meaning you don't have to worry ONE BIT about any unknown ingredient (it's entirely plant-based, like literally plants have been basically blended and bottled), it's got natural SPF, and it's a good price (at around 15 bucks depending on where you get it).
Yes, it's oilier, so you'll want to shake the bottle before applying. I don't mind that tad of mess because everything else makes it worth it, and I store my products properly.

Not a big fan.
Pros: It does moisturize really well. I live in desert like west Texas and my face never gets dry.
Cons: You need to shake it really well every time you use it. Otherwise there will be oil when you pour it on.
Even when you shake it well, it still gets really greasy. Every time I finished using my cell phone I could see marks on my screen.
I don't think the package is sealed either. I use up all of my products no matter I like it or not (this is just me). When I was about to run out of this one. I put the bottle upside down to make it easier to get out. There was oil flowing out making my dresser really nasty.

this is the only moisturizer i used. im running a bit low on it and i am getting a bit tense. the only place in my area that carries it is a health food store 20 minutes away. with that being said i LOVE this moisturizer. i have sensitive skin prone to light acne and this has improved the quality of it tenfold. i have very dry patches around my chin area that require aquaphor soaks at night but this erased them completely. my skin is smooth, clear and almost all one tone. i wash with a basic cleanser from clean and clear and scrub every 2-3 days with st ives apricot scrub. i switched back to another moisturizer to experiment and my face went back to its old habits. it cost me 16ish bucks but its around the same price of aveeno moisturizer but you get way better quality and it lasted me a little under two months with twice daily application. this is a great product for those with sensitive skin.

I am recovering from acne and possible scarring as well as living in a tropical climate. NOT so good when there is a LOT of pollution. So I'm constantly batting clogged pores and sun damage. This line of products has saved my skin from heavy moisturizers and coupled with my newly purchased Clarisonic my skin looks bett than I think it EVER has! This product soaks right in and NEVER clogs my pores. The only product that is comparable is Korres Wild Rose Moisturizer with an SPF of 5. ALSO WAY cheaper than anything else I've used! LOVE IT!

I'm surprised by the reviews on this product, considering how much I loved it. My skin has been so dry over the past few weeks of winter but this product has all but reversed the dryness. I wouldn't recommend it for oily faces just because the hydration effect from the oil gives me face a nice bright shine. I've been using it for 2 weeks straight with no breakouts. My skin has been extremely smooth since I've used this along w/ the Green Tea cleansing lotion, toner and rejuvenating mask. I love this moisturizer!

I just bought this last night because I had to return the Avalon Organics Lavender Cream cause it made my face itchy. It has a very natural smell and I do like that Jajoba oil is one of the top 4 ingredents..so far so good today.. and I havent seen a need to blot my face and it seems to be very moisturizing on my face without the oily slick.
We will see.. i will give it a week and then decide to return it or no.. my face has to take the test...
Update.. HAD TO RETURN IT... :( my face became itchy and was still having an allergic reaction... Sigh... this sucks!

This is a fantastic natural product. I bought the moisturizer from Aubrey Organics because his products really are totally natural and many of them are organic also which is a bonus. Mine actually has SPF15 not 10 and on the website it only has SPF15. It come with a screwtop lid that also clicks open. The packaging is quite small and dinky but natural products have a shorter shelf life than ones with preservatives so that's understandable and completely unavoidable. It's a simple bottle and it's biodegradable and recyclable too. This one is for normal skin. I would have got the one for combination skin but I think it contained alcohol which I didn't want. You have to shake the bottle before you use it because the essential oils separate. The smell is sweet and fresh and the lotion looks light green. It's light and glides into the skin so beautifully, it really feels great to put on. My skin stays moisturized but doesn't get oily quickly either which can often be a problem. My skin feels really soft after using this and plump too. AND it has SPF15 to shield you from the sun. It doesn't break me out at all too. As you can tell I think this product is great and recommend it to everyone. Also it cost 13.99 British pounds so I think that's a good price for a great moisturizer.

This moisturizer made my skin feel coated and really dirty. It did not seem to penetrate at all. It smells nasty and looks nasty too, its heavy and just disgusting. I really don't recommend this to anyone, especially people that have sensitivities or are prone to acne.

I think this moisturizer is for normal skin, but I bought it even though I have combination skin because I thought this had the least offensive scent of the Aubrey lotions I tested. I've been using it now for a few weeks and the smell doesn't bother me anymore; it usually disappears quickly after application anyway. Love that it's all natural and will purchase again when I run out.

The smell of this put me off. Also, it is too heavy for oily skin and the SPF 10 is insufficient.

The smell of this product is slihgtly too fermented herb like for me. I didn't much like the olive green color, that reminded me somewhat of molding gravy. it left my combination skin much too oily, but I think it would be good for dry skin. The smell lingers too much, but thats never really a problem for me. Won't buy again, simply because I don't think its right for any kind of combination skin.

I wish I liked this more .... I didn't think it absorbed very well, and the sunscreen is just PABA, so I wouldn't feel like I had complete protection. I kind of like the scent -- very soft, subtle, and fresh -- but otherwise this product just isn't for me.

yuck the smell is really bad ..and i guess im just accustomed to attractive looking creams because when i squeezed this out--it reminded me too much of fecal matter for comfort. i noticed no dramatic difference in my skin.

This moisturizer for normal skin has a fresh natural scent and a weird greyish color. The bottle has to be well shaken before you use it because the product does separate in the bottle. I love this moisturizer because it soaks into my dry skin quickly and leaving it soft and not sticky. Which is important to me because I am using mineral makeup and it does not go on well if your skin is wet. Another plus is that it has spf 10 in it which has saved me from getting burnt when I unexpectedly got caught outdoors on a sunny days. I would definately buy this one again~
