The Body Shop Vitamin C moisturiser is something I’ve had on my wish list for a while, so when I was sent a pot to try out, I was pretty chuffed!
I love their vitamin E range, and was intrigued by this one which claims to give tired, dull skin a boost and a healthy glow.
Ingredients:
Aqua/Water (Solvent), Alcohol Denat. (Solvent), Glycerin (Humectant), Propanediol (Viscosity Modifier), Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer (Viscosity Increasing Agent), Ethyl Macadamiate (Skin Conditioning Agent), Isostearyl Lactate (Emollient/Skin Conditioning Agent), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Parfum/Fragrance (Fragrance Ingredient), Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil/Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil (Skin-Conditioning Agent), Sodium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Sodium Hyaluronate (Humectant), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Antioxidant), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Benzyl Salicylate (Fragrance Ingredient), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Skin Conditioning Agent), Myrciaria Dubia Fruit Extract (Skin Conditioning Agent), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Malic Acid (pH Adjuster), CI 15510/Orange 4 (Colorant), CI 15985/Yellow 6 (Colorant).
The texture of the cream is quite gelled-like, rather than your typical cream. I was a bit worried at first that it would sit on top of my skin rather than sink it, but it took to my skin pretty well after about 20 seconds of an initial ‘tacky’ feeling.
I wouldn’t say it did an amazing job at making my skin ‘glow’, but I did see a slight difference and my skin always feels moisturised after using this.
It has a slightly fresh, citrus smell. But it’s not overpowering.
I’ve used all of this pot up now and I must say, I enjoyed using it. I think I do prefer the vitamin E alternative, mainly because I like the way the vitamin E one smells more. But if you want to give your skin an extra boost in these awful autumn months, then this one might be for you!
Have you tried any of the Vitamin C Moisturiser Body Shop range?
I love the colour, but I’m not sure if that is the best to approach to buying a new moisturiser.
I have a huge TON of skincare to finish so I don’t think I will be purchasing anything new soon but I’ve read pretty good reviews on this!
I have so many products to use up but this is seriously tempting me
I have never heard go this product, but this seems so promising! I would like to try this))
They have quite a few products in this range that I want to try. Vitamin c I would imagine would be quite acidic but this sounds quite nice. I love their vitamin e cream which is useful for so many things especially scars Lucy x
Wonderful product. ^^
New post is online
Love this post! I need some major help with my skin now that it’s getting colder.
