REVIEW- Gabriel organic's Red Seaweed Cellular Moisturizer and good news

HELOOOO...Its been ages I know, but was caught up with life and I have some very exciting news to share. I may be revealing this for the first time but I am a doctor and I finished my med school and came to the US, and now I am starting my residency in Internal medicine in June. So was really caught up in paperwork and visitors and family.

As you guys know from my previous posts, I have very oily acne prone skin and I have been searching high and low for a moisturizer that wudnt break me out and at last, after using this one since January I can confidently say that its not doing me any harm, It keeps my skin moisturized and I do not have a greasy face during the day.

The product I want to rave about is the Gabriel organics Red Seaweed Cellular Moisturizer. Its from the oily overactive range of products.


The description on the box is
A weightless, non-oily moisturizer for skin that tends to clog and breakout from conventional moisturizers.  Red seaweed provides an antibacterial and balancing effect on skin, while extracts of green tea and tea tree offer healing benefits and regulate oil production.  The result is a fresh, healthy complexion with a velvety, matte appearance

I was impressed with the ingredient list too- Key ingredients are Red seaweed, tea tree and green tea






Aloe, witch hazel extract, glycerin, glycine soja (soyabean) sterols, red seaweed extract, cinnamomum extract, rosemary leaf extract, soy protein ferment, horsetail extract, olive fruit extract, sodium hyaluronate, aloe leaf extract, green tea leaf extract, tea tree leaf, gotu kola extract, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, lavender flower extract, lemon peel extract, ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid, citric acid

My opinion-
I have been using this for 5 months now and I am on my second tube, it comes as a 2 oz package which retails for  around 26 dollars.
It is a fragrance free lotion type of consistency, not too watery but not too thick, it glides on smooth on the skin and is absorbed instantly.
I must admit it Im HOOKED! I already suffer from acne prone sensitive skin and most of the moisturizers break me out but not this one. It calms soothes and moisturizes. I also feel it makes a good base for makeup too. I have been using this twice a day everyday and have not had any unpleasant effects so far so fingers crossed :)

Has anyone else tried this product? Any reviews? I have been using the foundation and powder from zuzu luxe which is the same company and have been loving it too....
