The Body Shop: Vitamin E Moisture Cream

I actually received this product for free when I purchased some items from The Body Shop.
The container is quite small, with only 15 mL of product.

 

I received a sample size of this product, but I know and have seen that the regular sized products have exactly the same  packaging. With the regular sized products, I believe that a pump should be implemented for more hygienic and sufficient reasons.

The product doesn't say specifically where to apply the cream, but because the product is light, creamy and very hydrating, applying it as a moisturizer could be opinion. As well, using this product as an eye cream could be beneficial as it does have Vitamin E and hydrating ingredients.

Vitamin E can do the following for your skin:
  • High in antioxidant activity, 
  • Protects skin cells from ultra violet light, pollution, drugs
  • Plays a role in anti-aging 
  • Prevents the appearance of age spots
  • Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
  • Helps to maintain the skin’s oil balance during the cleansing process (as we cleanse our face daily, oils are lost
The texture is light, but creamy. Not oil-free.


The product does have a scent to it- it smells like the Johnson's baby lotion; a fresh scent!

For individuals who have oily skin, I don't recommend using this as a moisturizer. This is because the lotion is NOT oil-free and for those who have oily skin, using a gel moisturizer or oil-free product is actually better for the skin. However, all hope is not lost - if you do need a moisturizing and refreshing eye cream, this product can be used for that as well!

For those who have dry to normal skin, I highly recommend purchasing this product. The thin, but extremely hydrating formula will definitely keep your skin smooth and refreshed throughout the day! Forget about the dry, annoying flakes consistently appearing on your face.

INDULGE.
