Firstly, I adore the scent of the seaweed line, and the mattifying gel cream is my holy grail. However, this cleanser seems to be stripping my skin. It leaves a nice cooling sensation, but my skin always ends up feeling tight and stripped of moisture. It also didn't do much to prevent breakouts.

Give your skin a dose of sun-kissed, golden-shimmer with our hydrating and illuminating bronzing oil. With Community Trade honey, our non-greasy formula delivers a warm hint of shimmering color.

I mix this with my moisturizer after I shower and it gives me a gorgeous subtle shimmery glow year-round.
I was worried because I'm relatively fair-skinned and it looked quite dark, but I tried it on in the store and fell in love. Bought it immediately. Perfect color, love the subtle shimmer.

Great for body, not for face

This clogged my pores and made me break out when used on my face. However, it's an awesome body moisturizer and works nicely when used on the ends of hair to smooth frizzy hair. I love mixing this with a lip balm or some vaseline and putting it on my lips, leaves them super soft. I also use it mixed with a little bit of lotion and put it on my feet and then wear socks to bed, I have really rough feet because of my job but this makes them sooo soft.

Spritz on this satsuma scented body mist for long lasting zestiness. Infused with satsuma and sugarcane essence, it's irresistible.

Too acidic

Setsuma is definitely very citrusy, but this body spray for whatever reason smells like pure rubbing alcohol with a dash of citrus. It's practically overwhelming; most setsuma products don't smell like this (I own almost all of them.) This is like spraying alcohol on your body and then lightly squeezing an orange on it.
It feels like sniffing acid.

The product lathers nicely and is overall a good body wash, albeit not particularly moisturizing or anything. It does what it's supposed to do. However, the scent is ridiculously strong. It lingers for hours on me and in my shower. It's very citrusy, so be warned if you don't like heavy citrus scents.

Our super-rich and creamy best-selling nutty Shea Body Butter is a feast for the skin. Enriched with Community Trade shea butter, skin is left feeling soft and smooth.

I keep a travel size of this in my purse at all times. Nice texture and extremely moisturizing. However, the only thing that holds this back from 5 stars is the scent; it's extremely heavy and it lingers on your hands all day. I don't mind the scent since I enjoy it, but it's seriously like smelling a vat of nuts.

Skin getting oily again?

I started using this cleanser about 2 weeks ago as well as the toner and night cream and moisturizer depending on the time of day. At first it was like a miracle... My skin was so much less oily. That lasted about a week and now it's just as oily as it was before I started using the products. Is this product known to be drying? Should I not use it every day? I was so impressed with the results at first but now my skin gets so oily again. Is there a different cleanser someone can recommend to use every other day or every other 2 days? I really want the seaweed products to work again
I had this problem as well. Personally I found that it was just too stripping which caused my skin to overcompensate by producing more oil. I suggest going for a more gentle, low pH cleanser.

How many

How many days of the week should you use this product or is it for ever day use
It's intended for every day use, however if you find it's stripping moisture from your skin or making your skin feel tight, reduce it to every other day.

is there a list of uses for this anywhere?

It seems like this is a versatile product, and I'm curious as to if there is anywhere that someone has listed all the different ways you can use it. I haven't used body oils before and I'd like to see how you can use them. If there isn't a list, could someone make one here?
I personally don't use it on my face because coconut breaks me out, but lots of people use it that way. I use it as a body moisturizer, mixed with lip balm, mixed with lotion, as a moisturizer for my feet, to tame frizzy hair and hide split ends, mixed with conditioner for extra shine, and also mixed with conditioner for shaving my legs.
