Skin care review: The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Booster

Hi everyone,
I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing a product from Body shop, it is the Vitamin C skin booster. It was a gift from my sister in law, she wanted to give me something that's some what make up related but not make up at all. To be honest I don't need a shimmery base because I already have oily skin. Since it was a gift I decided to give the product a try and see if I can some how use it in my make up or skin care routine.

The Body Shop® difference: Contains vitamin C-rich Amazonian camu camu berry and Community Trade brazil nut oil.

The camu camu berry grows on small trees in the Peruvian Amazon region and is known to have one of the highest contents of vitamin C in nature.

Our brazil nut oil comes from Candela in the Amazon region of Peru. Trade with our suppliers provides a vital source of income for the women who are employed as nut-crackers.

How it works:

• Contains Amazonian camu camu berry, which is known to have one of the highest contents of vitamin C in nature. Antioxidant vitamin C brightens skin, encourages collagen production, improves elasticity, and works along with skin-softening vitamin E to protect skin from environmental aggressors.
• Community Trade Brazil nut oil moisturizes and softens skin.

Apply in an upward, circular motion after moisturizing for a smooth base and a healthy-looking glow.

Vitamin C Skin Boost works as a great base for make-up application as it smooth's the surface of the skin.

product sample

Product experience:
The product comes in 1 fl oz. 30 ml bottle for $27 USD comes with a pump and a tight fitting cap. To use just pump a little of the product and in the areas you want to highlight. Then follow through with your skin care routine or make up routine

Pros:

• Blends easily and feels light on the skin
• The product is a clear colorless gel with light diffusers floating in it.
• Has a nice packaging and compact enough for travel.
• You only need a small amount, half a pump to cover your entire face. In my case a lot less since I only use this to highlight my face.
• Allows foundation to glide on to skin and blend easily.
• Recommended for dry skin

Cons:

• The product is misleading in some way. I felt its marketed as skin care but acts as make up. It says it contains vitamin c and other essential oils but the product just feels like my Palladio herbal foundation primer.
• Can be easily over used where you will look greasy instead to dewy

I don't like this product, even if it is skin care. I have combination oily this is really meant for normal to dry skin. I used this product during the winter months when my skin is on a dry side and it still didn't work on skin.
