    I received the Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum as part of the Product Review Club.
    I liked how it came with a pump to dispense the serum.The pump allows you to dispense what you need and not have it pour out all over your hand. You only need a small pea sizes amount of the serum to do your entire face. It quickly absorbs into your skin.
    I did find that after applying it , that It seemed to make my face feel tight and dry and I needed to put a little bit of face lotion on top to make it stop feeling that way.
    In the morning though it did make my face feel soft.

    I did find it a tad bit sticky to the touch after applying it to my face, which I wasnt really fond of.

    The scent was a light natural scent, I liked how it;s natural ingredients.
    I don't think I would go out and buy it however, the price is a bit high for me, and I didnt like the dry feeling it gave my face .
    I would recommend it to others to try, as it may work great for them

    I recieved this product about a week ago to test out and provide a review. The packaging was interesting as it didn't provide a whole heck of a lot of information about the product and had many different languages on it. I do love the fact that the serum comes in a pump format which helps to control the amount of serum on your fingers as well as keeps it clean from the environment and fingers. The serum claims to soften, rejuvenate, improve skin suppleness with organic ingredients such as babbassu oil. I have combination skin but depending on the weather and my stress level my skin can become really oily. I did get some breakouts on my chin - -although not fully sure whether it was due to the product or the fact that I've been a little stressed. I noticed slight changes on my skin. My face does seem a lot softer and does have a slight glow to it. I do have some acne scarring on my face and didn't really notice a big change in helping the scars. The serum is very light, a little watery which is great as it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. A serum you definately want a little watery for easier application on the face. The one thing that I didn't like too much was the scent of the product. It had a very earthy, organic smell which kind of reminded me the scent of Aveda products. It's not overly overpowering (does go away), but you do have to get use to the smell of it - I think you either love it or hate it. At $25, not sure that I would fully recommend the product to my friends (a little steep in price) as I have used products that are less than $25 that provided me with the same results I saw with this product. I would however consider purchasing the product if it was on sale at Body Shop.

    I've been using The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum on my face and neck for a week-and-a-half now, courtesy of the Product Review Club. I have applied it twice a day with only a small pea-sized amount. I was very excited to try this product because of it's natural and organic ingredients.

    After using it for the week-and-a-half, my skin does have a slight glow to it and it is noticeably softer. It's not a dramatic change, but I can definitely see a difference. I am now very excited to use it for a couple of more weeks and see if there are any more changes.

    I really like the clean smell and texture of the serum. Because I have normal to oily skin, I was worried that it would make my face feel greasy, but it hasn't. In fact, after a few minutes of applying it you can go ahead and apply your moisturizer or makeup with no problems.

    As a bargainista, the only issue I have is the $24 price tag for the 1.0 FL OZ of product. It's kind of a tiny bottle, but a small amount covers the entire face. If the end results continue to be positive, then I will have no problem purchasing this product and using it daily.

    In other words...I would definitely recommend this product.

    I was excited to use this serum, as I have always been impressed by Body Shop products in the past. I was pleased to use this serum and know that it did not disappoint.

    It was light, non greasy, absorbed quickly into my skin effectively. It also has a very pleasant and subtle scent. I would definitely use this product again and recommend it for sure.

    I was excited to try this product because someone had actually just mentioned it to me. Initially my thoughts were that it is a little thinner than I expect of a serum. It was very lightweight and absorbed quickly into my skin. It did not make my skin as soft as I am used to with my previous serum. I really like that it is organic and that is a big plus for me. Overall, I will say that I like the serum, don't love it. I will reserve final evaluation as far as effectiveness until I have used the product longer.

    I loved this product I noticed a difference after 1 day but really noticed the effectivness after continues use. My skin was softer, smoother, and I felt my skin looked younger then before I started using it. It so easy to use just pump a small amount in the palm of your hand and apply to your face, I say small amount because a little goes a long way!

    great opportunity to sample a promising product. no offensive smell or side effects. however, it didnt do anything i expected a smoothing serum to do. a bit sticky. there are plenty of other products available that do a much better job for the money.

    I have been using this product for about 3 weeks. The first time I applied it, my skin felt noticeably softer and within a week, my cheeks, directly on either side of my nose, were starting to look fuller where before I felt they looked a bit sallow and marked by large pores and some acne scarring. Although I'm not a fan of the smell, it doesn't last long, and I didn't experience the stickiness others have mentioned. I will definitely keep using it!

    I definitely liked this product a lot! The first thing I noticed was the lovely exotic scent - it smelled really nice and was a definite pick me up when I used it daily. Usually when I start using a new lotion or serum, I tend to break out. However, this product didn't create any breakouts. Another good thing was that it also didn't leave my skin oily or dry which is pretty rare when it comes to facial creams. I found it to be a great smoothing serum and effective moisturizer as well - my skin felt very smooth after the first few uses. I would defnitely recommend this for anyone with dry/oily skin types since it does a great job at balancing skin moisture.

    I received the serum from the review club. I was so excited and tried that on immediately. However, I stopped using that after a week when I got a few pimples. The serum smelled like "yeast" which I did not like at all. The serum was watery but did not absorbed by my skin which stayed on the surface only. I had to wash away a few hours as it created a sticky feeling.
