I've been using this product as my "in between" time, while searching for the HG moisturiser. I usually end up with this. Drugstore price, when I can't find or can't afford to splurge on something else. Lancome use to have a product line called Vinefit, with grapeseed oil. My skin was radiant, and I literally had many women compliment my skin. My girlfriend who introduced me to Vinefit, previously had deep acne scars, which then cleared up after using Vinefit for a good 6 months. So, unfortunately Lancome's Vinefit is discontinued, and this is the only moisturiser I can find that contains a good amount of grapeseed oil. I don't get that "radiance" like the Vinefit gave me, but my skin is hydrated. If you have dry, sensitive (I have eczema on certain areas of my face), flaky, red skin, this could work for you. I have not reacted. It is a bit "waxy", but I find that my skin works well with it. I recommend this product, as well as Body Shop's Hemp Moisturiser. Again, for dry sensitive skin only. NOT recommended for oily skin.
UPDATE: I tried Shiseido's "The Skincare" line, cleanser, toner, moisturiser and all. Although the moisturiser from Shisiedo was hydrating, it left me with a lot of whiteheads and made my skin oiler. I am now back to the grapeseed oil moisturiser, and already my skin is far, far better. This moisturiser if far cheaper, and effective. This is my HG.

Very good cream for winter use. It is true it is a bit like wax, but somehow it is absorbed very easily --- you face feel supple but not greasy after using it. I normally use Shisiedo the Skincare line, but I found the moisturizer lotion (essential, not the enriched version) did not hydrate me enough during dry winter night (with heater). So I dab this on my cheeks (a bit cautious on the T-zone) after using Shisiedo lotion and my skin felt very comfortable during night.
The smell is pleasant and the price is cheap. The pacakge is not superb but with the price I have nothing to compain about. Will buy it again next winter.

I dont know it was my skin acting crazy or the product, i had 4 new gigantic zits after i started to use this product. at first i said that it could be my hormones driving crazy because i liked the body shop but then i realised that it was the night cream that clogged my pores. i have a sensitive normal/combo skin. i hardly ever get zits and this somehow succedded on its mission. never ever buy it again. i was so mad that I had to throw the whole jar into the trascan(I lost the recipt and not in the mood for returning). dont buy it unless you have a really dry skin

Made my face itch and feel uncomfortable, especially after cooking/working out or otherwise being near sources of heat. Can't imagine what summer with this stuff would be like.

Very waxy, even when applied very, very sparingly so my hair stunk to my face. Didn't moisturize well at all so my face was just as dry after use.

Highly overrated!

14.00$ for 1.7 oz is a bit expensive, but it's worth it. This moisturizer is very thick and creamy. Soaks in immediately and doesn't make me look greasy at all. Just leaves me with smooth, moisturized skin. There's a light scent but it's not bothersome at all. I wish this came in a bottle with pump, since a jar is really unhygenic. Since I have very dry skin I can use this with Revlon Colorstay foundation for a more natural look. I would definitely repurchase this.

I bought this based on Paula's book and I love it. I works great for my dry skin (winter only) and doesn't break me out or clog my pores. It does feel a little greasy, but that doesn't matter because its a night cream and you wear it when you sleep, right. This is one of my HG moisturizers.

Cannot agree more with all the reviews here.This is my HG night cream, whoooo found it atlast...its rich and creamy and not greasy at all..I got this when i returned the Vit E cream which was very heavy on me. The SA picked this one up for me, i was skeptical at first whether it would suit me..Love the mild scent, it reminds of a cream my nani uses back home.
Ok back to the cream..i have been using for 3 days now..in the morning my face is all soft and bright.Best part Dh also noticed which is a plus :D Would def purchase this again.
UPDATE - Still loving this cream 100%

PERFECT! i absolutely adore this night cream! it has really helped my skin to calm down after i used a horrible peeling mask. My skin just LOOKS better in the morning! it's so rich that you don't need a lot of it. It would have better if the packaging was different, but i can live with that. I think i've found my HG night time moisturizer. i didn't like the scent at first, but now i just adore it.

I love this cream. I get very dry spots on my face throughout the whole year. This cleared up the flaky, dry skin immediately. Pleasent smell. I don't like the packaging too much, but it is something that I can live with. Definately something I will keep using.

Recently, for our honeymoon, I had a 14 hour plane flight. Shame on me for packing my moisturizer because just a few hours into the flight my skin was very dry from the cabin air. Luckily the San Francisco airport has a Body Shop in one of the terminals. I have used TBS's products for years and have always loved them so I decided to give this nigth cream a go. I am thrilled with it. It goes on smooth and creamy and keeps my skin very moisturized, yet doesn't feel greasy/goopy and it doesn't break me out (though I am not acne prone). This cream was wonderful on the long flight and I definitely plan on using it here at home. Great for dry complexions!

Lately my skin has been really dry so I purchased this at the Body Shop hoping it would help. I put this on my face at night before I go to sleep and when I wake up my skin still feels moisturized. This stuff also makes my skin feel really soft and doesn't break me out which is a plus. I also think it has improved the evenness of my skin. It used to be kind of blotchy but I have noticed a definate improvement. This cream also smells good, kind of like a very light grape smell. I would repurchase this again.
