Since using the Body Shop Vitamin C skincare range agrees with me, I decided to give the Body Shop Vitamin E range a try. Actually, it’s not my first time using the Vitamin E range from Body Shop, I started with using the Vitamin E Moisture Serum some time back. This time, I purchased the vitamin E Hydrating Toner and Moisture Cream and here are some of my thoughts on the products.
Review of the Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner
This toner retails for RM45 and comes in a 200ml bottle, which is actually about half the price of many branded toners from the cosmetic counters.
I am pretty happy with this toner as it feels refreshing and the vitamin E range carries a mild rose scent to its products which suit my liking. It is alcohol free, another of my criteria when searching for a toner.
I find the toner alright, pretty much like many other toners I’ve used. There wasn’t any outstanding effects to it, but like I mentioned earlier, I do like the refreshing scent to it.
One thing I noticed about this toner though is that it feels like I’m finishing it faster than my other toners. I’m not sure what the cause is. It just feels like I’m not getting the cotton soaked with enough toner, therefore I need to use more of it. Not sure if it’s the quality of the cotton or the toner!
But generally, I would think it is an average product. I didn’t notice anything exceptionally good, neither did it have any adverse effects. But for the affordable price of it plus it is a rather reputable brand that uses natural products (and therefore a hypoallergenic product, I hope), I think it is quite a reasonable product.
Will I use it again? I wouldn’t mind since I have not found any star toners out there.
Review of the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream
The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream retails for RM54 for a 50ml tub. The texture of the moisture cream is rather thick and creamy. It does absorb quite easily onto the skin, but much like the toner, I feel that I need to use quite a bit of the cream and therefore it finishes very fast.
I personally feel that the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream did not do much to moisturise my skin. I’m not sure if it’s because my skin type is not suited to use moisture cream as opposed to moisturising gels, because I find that the latter works better for me no matter the brand used. So it could well be that the cream is just not right for me.
There are two versions of this vitamin E moisture cream offered at Body Shop. The other one is a more intensive and rich moisture cream. I didn’t try that as I thought a normal moisturising cream is sufficient for me. But seeing that it didn’t really work for me, who knows, that richer one could have been a better option.
