I have been looking for an anti-aging serum because I have recently noticed the effects of my poor sun habits from my teens now. I don't want anything too severe, just a product that will work.
I have always loved the Body Shop mantra, and am willing to pay a bit more knowing that the product is sourced in an ethical manner - but it still has to be effective for me to like it. This product is great - the compact serum fits in my tiny make-up bag and can travel with me easily. What's better, is that it the product is easy to apply and feels great. I haven't used it long enough to notice dramatic results, but I look at it more as preventative aging work rather than reversing the damage. I think that this product is worth a try and would recommend it.
The Product Review Club sent me Nutriganics Smoothing Serum to use and review. The product thoroughly absorbed into my skin and made my skin feel softer and smoother. I did not feel as if I had a mask on like some facial products have made me feel in the past. I like the scent of the product - it has an green and "healthy" smell for me. I love the "ninety-nine percent of the ingredients are from natural origins." I did not notice any benefit other than my skin feeling softer and smoother. Possibly if I used over a long period of time it would prevent aging, I'm not sure. At twenty four dollars I can not afford to use a product that offers no visible benefits other than soft skin. I am giving this an average *price only because it is organically certified and ninety-nine percent of the ingredients are from natural origins. I know that organic products are higher to cultivate and market since I do purchase as much organic as I can afford. If the cost was not an issue I would continue to purchase as it does make my face feel wonderful!
I noticed on the website (http://www.thebodyshop.ca/nutriganicssmoothingserum.html) that it's normally $24/bottle and is now on sale for $15/bottle. Can't say I'd fork out $24 to try this, but if it's on sale, why not. Has a light scent which might bother some because it's smells very "organic" and natural (i.e., not flowery). I personally don't really like the smell but it's light enough that it eventually goes away.
Goes on watery, but that's okay. My skin seems to just drink it up. 1 pump is all you need. Skin does look softer and more supple (like it's actually hydrated). All in all, nothing mind-boggling or spectacular. The fact that it's organic might make it special in comparison with other Body Shop products but there are other organic products out there that work just as well, if not better. My personal preference is to fork out a little more to get something like Eminence products.
I absolutely adore this product because it left my skin feeling so so soft and amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first about the effectiveness of it but once I put it on my skin it was so silky and smooth I just loved it. I think the only thing is that it is a bit oily when you apply it but once it goes in it is very silky and leaves your skin bright, fresh and glowing with vitality. I actually have already recommended it to all of my friends and most of them have tried it and loved it as much if not more than I have. I also love the fact that I like some people have a few acne scars and this cream is actually helping to fix those. I have noticed in the past few days that the scars are not as red or noticeable as before and to me that is a huge plus. Not to mention that this product is organic and I love putting organic things on instead of harsh chemicals. To anyone who wants to try this product it is so worth it.
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 The Body Shop Nutriganics Smothing Serum as part of the Product Review Club. At first glance I thought the packaging was very cool...natural looking / organic material. I also liked the one pump applicator. Unfortunately, I do not have many positive things to say about the actual Serum...which is surprising since I have had awesome luck with Body Shop products in the past.
I found the Serum to be very watery and I did not care for the way went onto my skin...like a liquid. It left my skin looking very "dewey". Within the first couple of days of trying the serum my usually clear skin broke out!! Could be coincidence, but somehow I doubt it. This product has a weird...organic...smell to it that I did not enjoy. I did not find it made a difference in the appearance of those fine line and wrinkles.
The price point for this product is ridiculous...I will not pay $25.00 for this Serum...I'm not even sure if I will finish the sample.
In general I would not recommend this product from the Body Shop. However, due to their many other awesome products I will continue to be a frequent shopper...just not for the Nutriganics Smoothing Serum.
I received The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum as part of the Product Review Club and I was so eager to try this. I received it a bit late so have only been using for about a week every morning and night.
The product comes with a pump that gives you just the amount of serum you need. This product is supposed to assist with the First signs of Aging and soften, revitalise and improves suppleness as written on the bottle and box. In my experience I did notice my skin was softer after applying the serum.
It is a nice light serum that easily absorbs into my skin. It does make my skin shiney but not oily and you do need a moisurizer afterwards.
I love the smell, kinda like an aromatherapy blend, maybe thyme oil or something herbal in it.
As I mentioned earlier, I have only used this serum for a week so unsure about long term results.
I love that Body Shop is using Organic ingredients and I would love to try their moisturizer as well.
I was sent a sample of this serum through the mail and I am so glad.
It has a light, earthy scent and blends easily into skin. If you prefer a lightweight moisturizer as opposed to something thicker and creamier than this is for you. I think its a great moisturizer especially for the hot weather. It had a cooling feeling and I noticed my skin was more supple and smoother about a week after use.The best part of it all is it's natural and organic!
I love the feel of this on your skin. My skin did feel softer after using this product. I love the bottle it comes in, great pump that delivers just the right amount each time. Not crazy about the scent, though after applying make-up over it, the scent dissipated. The scent reminds me of products sold at Aveda. I guess that is what you get with an organic product, but I prefer no scent at all. This goes on super light and non greasy, I liked it alot.
The Nutriganics Serum was very watery. I shook it up a little and it still had a hint of watery. The serum was soft and the fragrance was subtle.
It moisturized my skin and made it supple. I liked that! I put some on at night right before I went to bed and in the morning I noticed my skin was soft and not dry. I liked this product. It comes in a convenient package and the smell is not overwhelming. I also liked that it was organic. Those oils must have been a pain to process but it works very well on my skin, which is normal to oily.
I have some acne problems but this did not irritate them or cause me to break out. It just targeted my elasticity in my skin. Great product!
