I received the Body Shop Nutirganics Smoothing Serum to review. I was so excited to try this product. Not only for the natural ingredients, but for the smoothing qualities. This product did not blow me away by all means. It has a sticky texture, but my skin absorbed it pretty quick. It does smooth, I didn't need my moisturizer. I didn't notice any other improvements. The pump is very nice. You only need one pump and it pretty much covered my whole face. I don't think I will be purchasing this in the future. I will continue to use this to see if it gets any better.

I received this product to review a week and a half ago and have been using it consistently in the mornings and at night.

Here are the things that I do like about the product:
-it comes in a sanitary pump bottle.
-one pump of product is enough to cover my entire face.
-the product has a smooth consistency.
-it's natural and organic.
-it leaves my skin feeling quite soft and smooth after application.

Here are the things that prevented me from giving this product a 5 stars rating overall:
-it has a strange scent that is quite strong upon application and takes a while to decipitate.
-it doesn't moisturize that well. still need to put a layer of my regular moisturizer on top for the dry spots.
-it doesn't smooth anything out like the name suggests. my lines and pores are still visible.
-due to the oils in the product, it can leave a greasy shine as the day goes on.

Overall, I don' t think that this is a bad product at all. I don't mind the scent, but I can see someone who has a strong sensitivity to fragrances having issues with it. I do think that as serums go, it is a pretty good quality product and the price point is competitive with other niche brands' serums. I don't think though that it is an essential product to have if someone is already using a moisturizer that works for her.

On the box, it says that the product "softens, revitalizes and improves skin suppleness". Definitely, after immediate application, my skin does feel soft, but I haven't noticed any change in my skin's suppleness in the 1.5 weeks that I have been using it. Perhaps, I need to continue to use it longer in order to see any changes.

I will continue to use this until it is finished and come back to edit this review if I do notice some changes.

Thanks to ChickAdvisor for sending me this product to review.

The serum comes in a well-designed bottle with a pump that makes it easy to dispense. The consistency is a bit thin, but this means that a little goes a long way. It felt lightweight on my skin, & absorbed very well & quickly. I immediately felt a difference in the softness & smoothness of my face, but I didn't find that it yielded dramatic results over time.

It has an unusual fragrance that's hard to describe - a little nutty, a little floral. It's not a scent that I greatly liked or disliked. The serum does include a number of essential oils, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with sensitivities or allergies.

I like very much that many of the ingredients are organic, & that some are from fair trade sources (Brazilian babassu oil, Guatamelan aloe vera.) However the list of everything that's included contains about 40 different items. I use a lot of holistic brands, & most of them are made from a few simple quality ingredients. I like to know exactly what I'm putting on my skin, & this product is so complex I'm not sure what I'm getting. I enjoyed using the serum, but there are other fair trade & organic options that I like better.

I received The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum as part of the PRC and I was excited to give it a try. The product is packaged nicely with a pump that dispenses just the right amount of product for each application. I was a little confused with what this product was actually supposed to do because the information on the box and on the bottle was limited. There was a focus on how natural the product was rather than what results I should expect from using it and how long those results might take. From what I recall of the email that ChickAdvisor sent out about introducing the product, it is supposed to help diminish fine lines and smooth the skin. It would have been nice if this kind of information was included with the product itself, even as an insert in the box. The only information about what the product is supposed to do was "FIRST SIGNS OF AGEING" and "Softens, revitalises and improves suppleness" written on the bottle and box.

I found that this product had a strong scent. I have sensitive/oily skin and I tend to avoid anything with any fragrance whatsoever so I found this a little harsh. The serum itself goes on nicely and absorbs fairly quickly into the skin. I was concerned that using the serum under my moisturizer would only add more oil to my already oily skin, but it didn't seem to make much difference either way.

My skin did feel softer after using this product for a few days, and I loved that, but I didn't see any noticeable difference in the fine lines on my face. If it is supposed to be an anti-aging serum (something The Body Shop seems reluctant to print on the product packaging), then it fails miserably in this regard. I also noticed that the product clogged my pores after only a handful of uses. It didn't cause any breakouts, but it did cause a few blackheads (something I don't typically have any trouble with).

I'd have to say that I wouldn't recommend this particular product. It clogged my pores and lacks an adequate description of what the intended results are.

I don't get this product at all. It didn't do me any harm, but it didn't do any good either. I didn't feel like my skin was any smoother for having used it, but then again my skin is pretty smooth to start with. It smelled nice and didn't clog my pores so I'm not mad at it but I didn't notice any difference in my skin's appearance at all.
Not for me.

I was very excited to receive the Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum in the mail. I am a very big fan of the Body Shop's body products, but had never tried any of their facial products until now. Having sensitive skin, I appreciated the naturalness of the product. I loved the way it smelled! Each pump gives a generous amount of product (I accidentally pumped three times out of habit from my usual serum). While this product went on a bit sticky for my liking, once I applied my moisturizer on top (I live in a very dry climate) I found my skin very soft and supple. I think that two weeks is a short amount of time to see any longer term and significant changes in my skin, but I definitely notices an improvement in the feel of my skin. Even my husband noticed! On that note alone I would recommend this product.

I like the smell and feel of the serum, its not greasy and smells like the spa. But I haven't seen any visible signs of skin improvment. It just adds another step to my daily/nightly fash washing routine. If this product could be incorporated into a 2 in 1 with a facial moisterizer I would be more interested in using it.

the smell was a little different when i tried it. i had to get use to the smell, but now i like it a lot. the texture is great and it goes on very smooth. in the beginning it felt a little sticky, but after i used a few times it did not feel sticky anymore (maybe it was a one time thing). the cost is ok, but i think there are better products out there that do a better job. it works ok, but i do not see any difference after using the product for 2 weeks and feel there should be some marked difference in my skin after a couple of weeks. i do not think this would become a regular in my facial routine and i would go try other products because i think there are other products out there that will do a better job for around the same price.

I am a huge Body Shop fan, so was excited to get to review Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum though the Chick Advisor product review club. A huge selling feature of this product is that 99% of the total ingredients come from natural sources. Since I've recently become more concerned about what chemicals are in my favourite products I was happy to see that the Body Shop has taken an interest in creating products like this. I also appreciated that this serum was designed to prevent the first signs of aging, rather than like most creams geared towards smoothing lines that are already there. What I didn't enjoy about the serum is the texture. It left my face feeling sticky. While I wasn't a huge fan of the smell of the serum, that wouldn't stop me from buying this product. I’m glad to see a major company focusing on natural ingredients, and hope this line of Body Shop products keeps expanding!

The first thing I noticed about the products is it's smell. It's smelled very nice and fresh and wasn't irritating me when I put it on my face. It felt very smooth going on but it did dry my face a little bit. I noticed that I had to put on my moisturizer on right away otherwise my face got very dry. Once I applied my moisturizer I noticed that my face felt very smooth and silky. Overall I liked the product but I'm not sure if I would purchase it alone. I think it would be a little too expensive to buy along with the other creams in it's collection especially since the bottle wasn't too big. I think I will stick with my own regimen but I will finish up the product
