The Body Shop Hemp Face Protector Review

I have searched high and low for a good moisturiser for my dry and sensitive skin and my search seems to have ended with the Body Shop Hemp Face Protector.  I bought this moisturiser during the last Body Shop sale in July at 50% off (Woohoo!).  I was not expecting much from this product, but it has taken me by surprise.

My Experience with The Body Shop Hemp Face Protector:

The cream has a slight greenish tinge to it and is soft in consistency.  It gets absorbed easily into the skin and makes my skin hydrated and not oily.  It does not form a layer over the skin surface. My skin is on the dry and sensitive side and this doesn’t irritate my skin. My skin feels silky soft after applying it and its moisturising effect stays for almost the whole day.

The only thing that I don’t like about this cream is its smell.  It has somewhat herbal/grass like smell, although the smell disappears after a few minutes.

Pros of The Body Shop Hemp Face Protector:

  • Gets absorbed right into the skin.
  • Does not irritate the skin.
  • No oily feeling.
  • Skin feels soft and nourished for a long time.

Cons of The Body Shop Hemp Face Protector:

  • I am not a big fan of its smell, but I can overlook that considering how well it moisturises the skin.
  • Contains parabens.
  • Tub packaging is not that hygienic.

Overall Verdict:

It has become my HG Moisturiser. I wish I had bought another tub of it while it’s was 50% off.

    1. Yup bad smell. I don’t know why Body Shop people can’t add a couple of drops of some good essential oil to it.

  1. My skin is not dry but this would be great for my mom! she has very dry skin and very few things make her skin wellbehaved!

  2. its my HG moisturiser for the winters…..but best avoided during summers as it tends to make you sweat a lot esp if u stay in a humid place like mumbai……….however it is been discontinued by THE BODY SHOP now
