The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 Review

Hiya all,

Hope you all doing great. So here I am with yet another The body shop review and this time it’s the moisturizer from their vitamin c range that I have put to the test.

In my previous post I have talked about the The Body Shop Vitamin C facial Cleansing Polish reviewed here.

I have used a lot of moisturizers and have come to a conclusion that most of them either suit during the summers or are for the winters. My most favorite moisturizers are the Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture , Lotus Herbals Alphamoist the Lacto  calamine (variant Oily to Normal skin) that I have managed to use throughout the year!

So find out whether the vitamin c daily moisturizer with spf 30 is a hit or a miss!

My Experience With The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 30

The more you read online the better things you will know! And once while surfing net I came across an article that suggested that either if it’s cloudy outside or if you are at home, still you need to use the spf based products! And do you know how empowering these articles are? I ended up quickly shopping for these tubes. I loved my face polish from the same range.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 is packed in the same way as its face polish i.e. in an orange-yellow mini tube. It has a flip top cap that is intact and hence its travel friendly. The product accumulates at the opening which obviously I don’t like but that’s just a little amount of it. It boasts to have uva/uvb protection. Where UVA penetrates deep into the skin and can cause wrinkles it is the UVB rays that are responsible for the tanned skin!

The moisturizer is white in color and is a rich in texture. Once when spread across the face it gives light feel; and gets absorbed quickly. It smells same like the face polish which is like a garden of oranges and also I remember my Glucon D that was of orange flavor 😛

The moisturizer keeps my skin moistursed, soft and nourished for 3-4 hours. Sadly after that I start getting a little oil on my face. Maybe during winters this will pass with flying colors. But this is definitely not for summers. Also I don’t apply it in the evenings as I like it for my morning regimen.

Regular usage has made my skin soft and glowing as I am using this with the vitamin c face polish! But no big difference is noticed till now.

Swatches

Turn On: The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 30

1) I like the fragrance which is not over whelming and good to my sensitive nose.

2) Regular usage has made my skin soft and healthy looking.

3) It gets absorbed super quickly without giving any heavy feeling to my combination to oily skin.

4) Its travel friendly.

5) This would be great for dry to normal skinned.

6) Gives UVA/UVB protection.

7) It didn’t break me out.

Turn Off: The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 30

1) Its relatively expensive. Even when on discount I ended up shelling out couple of extra bucks from my pocket!

2) Made my skin oily in just few hours.

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4/5

“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- I love how my skin feels after it is applied. But I was expecting it to work amazingly and not like any normal moisturizer. Apart from the UVA/UVB protection, nice fragrance and a soft feel it didn’t give me extra for what I was looking. It’s pricey and turns my skin oily in just 3 hours! It would be good option for dry skinned.
