I’ve read many glowing reviews of the Body Shop’s Vitamin C Skin Boost from beauty blogs, and even had a friend recommend it to me. I bought it for my mum to try and she confirmed that it showed some positive results on her just shortly after using it. I felt rather convinced that this product works wonders but I didn’t get to try it on myself until just about a week ago.
How did I find it? I absolutely love it! This is how Vitamin C Skin Boost works:
Works to: Restore your skin’s glow with our best-selling gel that can be worn alone or used as a pre-moisturizer.
How it works:
- Antioxidant vitamin C brightens skin, encourages collagen production, improves elasticity, and works along with skin-softening vitamin E to protect skin from environmental aggressors.
- Community Trade sesame oil softens skin, restores suppleness and strengthens skin’s natural defense system.
- Refreshing essential oils of grapefruit and orange help to balance and revive the senses.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Boost has a very pleasant orange/citrus scent to it and comes in a gel form, and is very light in texture. It applies very easily on the skin. In fact, I find it absorbing a bit too quickly on the skin. If you were to rub the gel between your fingers before applying on your face, you will find that you won’t be left with much to apply. So after pumping out the gel, I apply it directly to the face and gently spread it all over.
One of the results that many reviewers have experienced is the radiance that they see on their skin. For me, I don’t know if I was imagining it but in the first week that I was using it, I thought I saw a small glow of rosy cheeks! And I don’t wear make up at all, so it couldn’t have been the blusher. But then again, if you say it was the reflection of the soft light from the vanity table, well I won’t put up a fight. It could well have been, because I don’t see that rosy cheeks any longer.
One result that I felt for sure is that my skin actually feels softer not long after using it. I use it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the night. On a cleansed face, and after applying toner and my Body Shop Vitamin C Eye Reviver, I apply this Vitamin C Skin Boost. The moisturiser and sun block comes after it.
It’s quite a pricy product, at RM79 a bottle. But I find that it’s quite worth the money as a facial serum as compared to many other serums I’ve tried from cosmetic and skin care counters. I will definitely continue using this skin boost as well as the eye reviver. I simply love Body Shop’s Vitamin C skin care products!
Actually, the Vitamin C range is not the only skin care range that I like from Body Shop. I’ve also started using its Vitamin E skin care products and I enjoy them too. I’ll write more about these products soon.

wow…Now i definitely have to try this. Im currently using the Vit C Facial scrub, its so gentle that you can use it daily, apparently. And I must say, it really cleanses my face well. I also like the orange color packaging… Rather then the boring brown, white or green Body Shop used to have.
Evs, give this a try and I’m sure you’ll love it! Try out the eye cream in this range too, I like that product just as well. Haha, I’ve got to agree with you, these days they package their products a lot better than before.
i will use it vitamin c is good for the skin i must try it……..
