Today's review will be for the Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream



AvailabilityThis retails at $22 for  1 oz. (28 mL) at sephora.com (exclusive to online), nordstrom.com, bloomingdales.com, ulta.com, bluemercury.com and macys.com or their physical store locations along with mariobadescu.com.

Would I buy this?: No.

What is this product designed to address?
According to sephora.com:
What it is: An oil-free night cream that melts seamlessly into skin to nourish and replenish.
Skin Type: Normal, Combination, and Oily 
Skincare Concerns: Dryness
Formulation: Cream
Highlighted Ingredients:
-Bladderwrack Extract: Supports softer skin.
-Collagen: Smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
-Sodium Hyaluronate: Acts as a powerful humectant.
Ingredient Callouts: This product contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances and is cruelty-free. 
What Else You Need to Know: This lightweight, seaweed-infused face cream is packed with moisturizing powerhouses and skin-smoothing proteins that deeply hydrate while you sleep. Bladderwrack, collagen, elastin, and sodium hyaluronate combine in a mineral-rich formula that unveils a glowing—never greasy—complexion come morning.


Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to sephora.com:
-Bladderwrack Extract: Supports softer skin. This is the seaweed that they use.
-Collagen: Smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
-Sodium Hyaluronate: Acts as a powerful humectant.

What is the texture like?
This feels like a thick, rich cream and has a bit of a tackiness to it. 

Is it scented?
It has a very traditional cold cream scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
  Overall, this isn't a good fit for me. The texture is heavier than I like and between it being somewhat heavy and sticky I'm just not loving it and will be passing the remainder along.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
