The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream: Review & Swatches

Hello Everybody,

Let’s cut it very short CTM is very important but finding the right products that suit your skin and cater to its needs is even more important. The search for finding the correct product never ends because you need to change the products from time to time depending upon the weather, skin changes, skin requirements etc.

For me winters were mostly spent in the north side hence I needed to use a heavy duty moisturizer because my skin was very dry but now when I am in Mumbai, I needed to change my moisturizer and skip to a lighter one, since I have normal skin …..I grabbed the bestselling product from TBS for the purpose because I had already used a moisturizing oil from the same range (The Body Shop: Vitamin E Facial Oil Review here) and liked it a lot, so without any apprehensions bought this tub…. ( yeah A tub!!!!!saaaaaaaaad)

My Experience With The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

This Pink colored cream comes in a tub packaging. It has a nice texture, it’s not thick like a cream, infact its more like a lotion (Why in a tub then???????? I don’t know), the fragrance is very mild and fades away in a few minutes.

I have a normal skin which is slightly dry these days so for me a little quantity of this cream is enough to balance the moisture scale of my face. It’s very light weight and get absorbs in seconds making the skin feeling fresh and hydrated. It does not feel greasy at all infact I don’t even realize that I have used something , it’s that light. It’s been a month , I use this on a regular basis and I am loving the texture and feel of my skin. I totally love it as a basic moisturizer and vitamin e is an added advantage, Though, it keeps the skin hydrated for 6-7 hours, but it needs to be applied again after that time span.

SWATCH

Turn Off: The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream
